The Doubell’s, both in their seventies, moved into their stunning three-bedroom penthouse suite when their previous home, with its quarter acre garden, became too much to handle.
Ten months after having moved to the Crest Nicholson site, the couple are thrilled with their purchase. Its close proximity to the city centre, shops and restaurants means that Sylvia and John can walk almost anywhere and can indulge in some of their favourite hobbies which include cycling and bird watching.
Sylvia said: “Our new home is just so convenient, everything we need is right on our doorstep. We can now walk to the doctors, dentist and library and we can even see our favourite restaurant from our balcony.
“We have fallen in love with our new home, not only because of its location but the flat itself is beautiful. The standard of the finish is so high and the views are breathtaking.”
From their large fifth-floor balcony, on which they can fit a table and six chairs, the Doubell’s can see the historic floating harbour, Bristol Cathedral and Millennium Square. The balcony has become such an important part of their new lifestyle that they have renamed it ‘the room outside’.
Vicky Dudbridge from selling agents King Sturge said: “If you are looking for city centre living Harbourside is the perfect choice. You won’t need a car as all the amenities you need are in walking distance.
“Harbourside living is all about a lifestyle, not only do you have everything on your doorstep, the views are fantastic and there is a real sense of community in the area.”
Crest Nicholson is building a selection of one, two and three bedroom apartments at Harbourside. The latest phase, called Ensign, comprises 27, one and two-bedroom apartments, including a selection of spacious, bay-fronted properties that boast stunning views directly across Bristol’s historic floating harbour.
