Recommended viewing for BBC staff – but time is running out!

1st February 2007 Print
Sovereign Point and Imperial Point – both in a premier waterfront location BBC staff planning to re-locate from London to the north-west in readiness for the futuristic MediaCity at Salford Quays should act now if they want to reserve an exclusive luxury apartment in one of the region’s premier waterfront locations.

The final 2-bedroom penthouse is up for grabs at Imperial Point and just a few apartments and two penthouses now remain at Sovereign Point. The two landmark buildings, constructed by award winning Jones Homes, are situated in a prime location next to The Lowry arts complex on the Salford Quays waterfront.

Although just minutes from Manchester’s centre, these properties are a world away from the city’s hustle and bustle, traffic noise, congestion and fumes – in contrast visitors to any of the show apartments are treated to spacious living areas, natural light, vivid colours, breathtaking views and a rare feeling of tranquillity, all coming together to delight the senses.

These developments have been hugely successful in attracting home buyers seeking a contemporary lifestyle in one of the region’s premier waterside locations. Not only is there a portfolio of stunning new show apartments to view, prospective buyers can also enjoy panoramic, far reaching views over the water and beyond to the Peak District and Cheshire Plain.

Sovereign Point has been designed to bring an extra dimension to waterfront living with only six spacious apartments per floor. Built to a superior specification, which offers purchasers the very best in contemporary design and sophistication, Jones Homes strongly recommends a visit to its impressive, fully furnished show apartments, each with a southerly facing terrace.

Prices of apartments left at Sovereign Point vary from £275,000 to £385,000 for a 2-bedroom unit and up to £545,000 for penthouse 1801 with its huge garden terrace measuring just over 850 sq ft! The penthouse itself is a duplex unit which offers a massive 1,569 sq ft of living space – as big as many standard 4-bedroom detached houses! Living accommodation comprises a main bedroom with both a dressing area and en-suite, a second bedroom, main bathroom, living and dining area, kitchen and a very useful study room. Moving downstairs provides access to the garden terrace via an innovative ‘wet bar’, a purpose built preparation area designed for entertaining guests on the terrace and thus avoiding the need to go upstairs for catering equipment, supplies or food and drinks.

The remaining penthouse at Imperial Point, which has a magnificent terrace area, is available for just £390,000.

The apartments are situated in an area of outstanding architectural interest which includes internationally recognised landmarks like The Lowry galleries and theatres, the Millennium Footbridge, The Imperial War Museum North and Manchester United’s famous ‘Theatre of Dreams’ stadium.

Few locations can offer its residents such a wide choice of attractions right on the doorstep. Just a short walk along the tree-lined waterside boulevard leads residents to the theatres and galleries of The Lowry, the discount designer shops of The Lowry Outlet Mall, an Esporta health and fitness centre, the Red Cinema plus many stylish restaurants and café bars – just some of the ways for apartment owners to enjoy a rewarding, contemporary lifestyle. If that’s not enough the delights of city centre Manchester are just minutes away by Metrolink tram or taxi.
