Phil Spencer praises Barratt's Honeycombe Beach

Property expert Phil Spencer has described Barratt’s Honeycombe Beach in Boscombe as ‘totally unique’ following a visit to the beachfront development recently.

“What’s on offer here, I’ve never seen in this country. Australia yes, but not in the UK. The location, sea views, lifestyle with the gym and concierge is totally unique; I’ve never seen a development like it. There’s a huge amount on offer here and the fact that it’s been successful in the climate speaks volumes,” said Phil.

The property mogul was at the seaside development in Boscombe to join an event promoting the remaining apartments and penthouses on offer. He also praised the regeneration of the Boscombe area in bringing the attention away from Bournemouth.

“There’s clearly been a massive change in regenerating the Boscombe area in a short space of time. It’s fantastic what has been achieved here with such hard work and sales of the homes. The definition of regeneration is here.”

Barratt has sold over 70 per cent of the homes at Honeycombe Beach which offers a range of homes from one bedroom apartments up to luxury penthouses.

Barratt sales director Mark Docherty said: “We had over a hundred visitors to the event and taken sales as a direct result. Having Phil has been brilliant – he’s incredibly experienced in the property market and to have him describe Honeycombe Beach as totally unique is fantastic to hear. It certainly cements what we promote to prospective buyers and existing residents.”

The luxury on offer when you become a resident at the seaside sanctuary is more reflective of a hotel’s facilities than your permanent home or holiday getaway.

“Many residents feel like they are on holiday permanently since moving to Honeycombe Beach and with the Overstrand eateries just yards away, an alfresco living is hard to turn down,” continued Mark.

The spacious gym features the very latest fitness equipment including cardiovascular machines and free weights, complete with flat screen televisions to entertain residents while they work out.

The 24-hour concierge service caters for all needs – from home deliveries and pet care to independent financial advice and providing IT support for your home computer system.

“The concierge staff will get you theatre or restaurant seats, book foreign holidays or even help you arrange dinner parties or a wedding,” Mark continued.

“Other on-site benefits include communal gardens, a secure underground car park, a video entry system and energy efficient heating,” he added.
