The Grade II-listed Royal Haslar overlooks the waters of the Solent in Alverstoke, Gosport, and is currently being transformed into a waterside village.
Once complete, Royal Haslar will provide over 550 converted and newly built residential houses and apartments, including market sale and senior living homes, convenience retail, pub/restaurant and leisure facilities, over 50,000 sq ft of business premises and a new Royal Haslar heritage museum, set in landscaped grounds, fronting the sea.
With its Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architectural grandeur and illustrious military heritage Royal Haslar was originally built as a waterside community to convalesce sick and wounded sailors and marines of the Royal Navy, operating for over 250 years from 1753 until 2007, caring for wounded from the Napoleonic wars, Boer War, WWI, WWII and Falklands Campaign conflicts.
Built in 1916-1917 and opened in 1917 by HM Queen Mary, Canada House was the last principal building at Royal Haslar to be opened and was funded by a charitable organisation called the 'Women of Canada' in gratitude for care and aid given to Canadian Troops during the First World War. This building was used to accommodate medical staff for many years and is a picturesque site, directly overlooking the Solent, with views of the Isle of Wight.
Pat Power, Director of Haslar Developments Ltd, said: "Canada House is enviably positioned, and provides beautiful spacious apartments with some of the best waterfront views in the area.
"Combining historic architectural grandeur with modern specifications, the apartments at Canada House provide coastal living at its very best, with the Solent waterfront, marinas and beaches and Portsmouth all on the doorstep."
Prices start from £265,000. For details, visit royalhaslar.com
