Since its launch in the summer of 2006, Barratt’s Honeycombe Beach in Boscombe has proven a hit with a wide range of buyers coveting a beachfront apartment, and now nearly five years later the housebuilder catches up with one of the first to buy off plan.

Former Daily Mirror and Daily Express Group chief football writer and author Harry Harris was a regular to the Boscombe area prior to his purchase and would visit three or four times a year with his wife and daughter Poppy.

“We kept a close watch as Honeycombe Beach came to life and were so impressed we were one of the first to purchase a two bedroom apartment off plan,” explained Harry who has written more than 60 books including biographies on Pele, George Best, Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho.

“Poppy is almost 10 now and has taken advantage of the artificial surf reef and taken up surfing. With a number of excellent bars and restaurants which have opened nearby, the area is getting better all the time.”

Residents at Honeycombe Beach enjoy a 24 hour concierge service, video entry system, electronic gates to the car park area, communal gardens, access to the resident’s gym, CCTV and an abundant social life.

“Everyone here is so friendly and Barratt often organises events like barbecues in the summer so you can get the opportunity to meet the neighbours,” said Harry.

Barratt senior sales manager Zak Long says the development really celebrates seaside living. “There are so many benefits to owning a home here at Honeycombe Beach, to have that treasured access to the beach right on your doorstep is a rare and enviable passion.”

Harry agrees; “The concierge service is brilliant, very helpful and friendly and really adds to the exclusive feel at the development.

“The real wow factor for us has to be the exceptional views from our apartment. I doubt whether there is anything to match it anywhere else on the British coastline.”

Located adjacent to Boscombe Pier, Honeycombe Beach offers a selection of stunning seafront homes, the beach and surf just on the doorstep.

For more details on the newly released sea view homes or for more information visit or call the sales office, open daily from 10am to 5pm.
