New show apartments open at Riverside

Two new show apartments have opened their doors to house hunters at Crest Nicholson’s Bath Riverside development.

Located in the Highgate building, which forms part of the Liberty Gardens phase, the two show apartments will showcase why the development is proving so popular to discerning house hunters wanting to live next to the River Avon and within walking distance to Bath city centre.

With a mix of the latest design trends, colours, fabrics and furniture they will give those thinking about buying at the development a real flavour of the lifestyle many people now enjoy.

Susan Young, sales and marketing director for Bath Riverside said: “Both new show apartments have been designed to highlight some of the latest interior trends giving buyers some great ideas as to how they can decorate their own homes here at the development.

“We have already sold in excess of one hundred properties at the development and these new show apartments will provide a taste of the way of life many residents are already enjoying.

“The build programme is progressing well and the level of enquiries has remained high which is reflected in the number of properties sold and proves Riverside’s popularity.

“Not only do owners benefit from all the attractions of living close to the amenities of Bath’s cosmopolitan city-centre but they can also relax next to the water watching the world go by at what has been described as the most important development the world heritage city has seen for more than 100 years.”

Wide Appeal

One of the attractions of Bath Riverside is the fact that it appeals to a diverse range of buyers, each of whom are looking for different reason.

For first time buyers, the apartments present the perfect opportunity to get on the first rung of the property ladder especially as the Help to Buy scheme is available at the development.

For those looking to downsize whether it’s to release some equity, reduce running costs or just for a change of scene, the development has already attracted a number of buyers wanting to move into a more manageable home.

Those who are in rented accommodation and have been waiting for the right opportunity to present itself or have recently received an offer on their home and need to move quickly will also find Bath Riverside ideal with a number of properties ready for an immediate occupation.

Investors will be interested to know that returns on a one-bedroom property are between 4 per cent to 5 per cent outperforming many traditional investment vehicles.

And professionals who have to work away from home and would prefer to have a place they can call a home from home rather than stay in a hotel or B&B, will be hard pushed to find anything better.

The development also enjoys easy access to the riverside with the towpath being widely used as a direct and car-free pedestrian and cycle route into the heart of the city.

Popular with walkers, joggers, cyclists and people who like to explore further afield it forms part of the Kennet and Avon Cycle Route.
