Hot designs at new Harbourside show apartment
15 June 2010
This season’s hottest interior design trends have been unveiled at an elegant new show apartment overlooking Bristol’s historic floating harbour.
Open at Crest Nicholson’s Harbourside development, the two-bedroom apartment showcases why the selection of one, two and three-bedroom properties have proved so popular to discerning house hunters wanting to live next to the water in Bristol’s city centre.
The new show apartment is located in Beacon House, the final phase of The Crescent at the award-winning development and boasts stunning southerly views that stretch across the rooftops of the city and out towards the countryside.
It also takes in views of Brunel’s ss Great Britain and replica of The Matthew, the famous ship that John Cabot sailed when he discovered Newfoundland.
Including a sophisticated mix of the latest colours, fabrics and furniture it 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 Young, sales and marketing director for Harbourside said: “Harbourside continues to be very popular with a range of purchasers, from first time buyers and downsizers to investors and professional couples and, as a result, a really strong community has already developed. The new show apartment should be very useful for potential purchasers as it will provide a real glimpse of what life would be like at the development.
“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.”
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.
Susan added: “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.
“The centre is only a few minutes walk away and there are numerous restaurants and bars close by including Bordeaux Quay, The Living Room, Chinese restaurant Zen and Pizza Express.”
For those wanting to get about there is also a designated water taxi stop right outside the development so anyone wanting to get to Temple Meads can hop on and make the pleasant journey to catch their train. Alternatively the numerous stops along the way provide a great way to commute around the city centre.
The development also 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).
There is currently one, one-bedroom apartment available and prices start from £205,000.
