Dashing decors unveiled at The Zone

Some property sales teams across the country might be finding life a little quiet in 2008 but Barratt sales advisors at The Zone in Bristol have been rushed off their feet after the show apartments were launched in December.

The three showhomes - one Citipad, a one bedroom Azure and two Vanquish apartments demonstrating Choices Centre options - have proved extremely popular as investors respond enthusiastically to the appropriately chic decorations and tempting locations.

“Ever since the showhomes opened, things have been brilliant, absolutely fantastic,” commented Louise Ware, Barratt sales director.

“Our interior designers have done a great job in transforming a blank canvas into a stylish and attractive vista geared totally to the tastes of our market. They have done a superb job which will add to the pressure on availability.”

A stunning combination of pink, gold and green has been used in the Azure while more neutral colours with a strong strain of aquamarine make the Citipads appear bright and spacious.

Two examples of the two bedroom Vanquish have also been well received. The first appears with a standard specification and shows what can be done without the benefit of the upgrades and accessories from Barratt’s Choices centre.

Priced at £196,000, the standard Vanquish show flat features a furniture package which is also available for customers. The upgraded Vanquish showhome features around £17,000 worth of accessories that buyers can opt for from the Choices Centre.

Choices offers buyers the opportunity to upgrade everything from kitchens and bathrooms through to wardrobes, fireplaces and lighting and offers a wide range of accessories including carpets, curtains and blinds for buyers to really personalise their new home.

Once complete, The Zone will have 407 units - a mix of Citi-pads, apartments and townhouses and its location close to shopping, transport and leisure facilities is proving perfect for first time buyers, young professionals and investors. Prices range from £127,500 to £215,000.

The Zone is part of the massive brownfield redevelopment of Temple Quarter with Barratt setting new standards in terms of design, specification and modern living environments.
