80% gone at Harbourside

July 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Sales at Bristol’s most prestigious water side development are going so well 80% of properties have now been sold.

It means house hunters wanting to live next to the city’s historic floating harbour will need to act quickly to avoid missing out on securing a property at what has been described as the most impressive inner-city regeneration project in Europe.

The development, called Harbourside, is being built by Crest Nicholson and has transformed the area historically known as Canon’s Marsh into a vibrant place where people now live and work next to the water.

News of the development’s success further enhances its attraction especially to those looking for a contemporary, stylish place to live that’s located in the heart of Bristol’s exciting city centre.

It also follows the launch of the latest phase called Beacon House. Comprising 47, one, two and three-bedroom apartments Beacon House is spread over seven floors with the variety of different styles and property sizes having already attracted a lot of interest.

Every property in the phase benefits from water views and those thinking of buying will be hard pushed to find anything comparable in terms of size across the whole of Bristol.

Taking in views of Brunel’s ss Great Britain and replica of The Matthew, the famous ship that John Cabot sailed when he discovered Newfoundland, properties in Beacon House boast stunning southerly views that stretch across the rooftops of the city and out towards the countryside.

Susan Young, sales and marketing director for Harbourside said: “We’re delighted that sales at the development remain consistent and is evident in these latest figures.

“Harbourside continues to be very popular with a range of purchasers, from first time buyers and downsizers to investors and professional couples. No other development in Bristol is in such a convenient location and no other development can offer properties that are located right on the waterside with south facing views and we’re on course for completion by late summer.”

Those wanting to get a better idea on what life is like at Harbourside will be pleased to hear that a new show apartment is now open for viewing and showcases why the selection of one, two and three-bedroom properties have proved so popular to discerning house hunters.

Located in the Beacon House phase it includes a sophisticated mix of the latest colours, fabrics and furniture and should help provide inspiration for property purchasers looking to decorate their new home.

With its own terrace visitors will be able to watch the hustle and bustle of life on the water as people go about their everyday lives which includes a healthy mix of leisure and business activity.

Susan added: “The new show apartment is absolutely stunning and has been designed to highlight some of the latest interior design trends which should give buyers some great ideas as to how they can use current design trends in their own homes.”

House hunters will also be interested to know that the development achieved a Building for Life gold standard from the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), the Government’s advisor on architecture, urban space and public space and the Home Builders Federation (HBF).

Current availability includes one-bedroom properties from £205,000, two-bedroom properties from £275,000 and three-bedroom properties from £475,000.
