This accolade celebrates the exceptional transformation of a historic Victorian villa into an elegant collection of one and two-bedroom apartments, blending contemporary luxury with timeless charm.

Originally constructed around 1895, the villa at Park Avenue was once a grand residence in the heart of Preston Park. Today, it stands as a testament to innovative design and meticulous craftsmanship, offering modern homes that honour the rich heritage of the original building.

The interiors boast modern amenities and high-quality finishes, creating a harmonious living environment. Residents can also enjoy the luxury of private outdoor spaces and breathtaking views across the picturesque Preston Park, adding to the allure of this exceptional development.

Beyond its aesthetic and functional appeal, Park Avenue offers peace of mind with a 10-year new homes warranty, underscoring the quality and durability of these remarkable residences.

The recognition by the Sussex Heritage Trust Awards is a prestigious honour, reflecting the dedication to excellence by developers You Are Home that defines Park Avenue. This development is not just a place to live but a reimagination of a park-side mansion block that beautifully bridges the past and the present.
