Latin launch for luxurious new homes

A stylish range of high-value homes have now gone on sale in the historic Roman city of Bath. These are the first images to show what Redrow’s luxurious Duodecim development - named after the Latin for the number 12 – will look like when it is completed next year.

A dozen contemporary three and four-bedroom townhouses will occupy a site of 0.57 acres, off Bruton Avenue, in the sought-after Bear Flat area.

Set in a vibrant community and around a mile from the city centre, the beautifully-designed three-storey homes will have a host of enviable facilities nearby, including famous-name high street shops, excellent sports and fitness facilities and the Bath Royal Theatre.

The site is within walking distance to the train station and has excellent road links to Bristol, Wiltshire and the rest of the South West. There are also 14 schools within a two mile radius, making it an ideal location for a wide variety of homebuyers.

The homes are being made available through Bath estate agents Chalmers and Co, at 4 George Street, where a selection of brochures, specification samples and computer-generated images of the new development are available for prospective purchasers to peruse.

Sandra Hughes, sales manager for Redrow Homes (South West), said: “This is a superb development for people looking for a stylish home within a small enclave of exclusive private dwellings.

“Each property has a private parking space, which is an advantage in a city such as Bath, where parking is at a premium.

“With good local amenities on their doorstep and within easy reach of the city centre, Duodecim really will provide buyers with their dream home.”

Once tennis courts for the adjoining properties until the 1970s, the site currently comprises redundant lock-up garages.

Redrow’s scheme will comprise an impressive terrace of contemporary family homes, tailored to customers’ individual requirements, currently priced between £415,000 and £465,000. The roof space of each property will be utilised to create a third floor of valuable living accommodation and the completed development will have a finished value of around £5 million.

The homes will be of a high quality and specification, built in local Ashlar Stone with timber sash windows in keeping with the Conservation Area setting, together with more contemporary glazing in some properties. They will also feature fully-fitted kitchens and bathrooms complete with desirable Villeroy and Bosch fittings and Grohe taps. Every last detail has been thought of to give the homes a luxurious feel, down to integrated microwaves and wine coolers and fully landscaped rear gardens.

As part of the development, Redrow will contribute to upgrading local play facilities in nearby Alexandra Park and improving local bus shelters.

The first of these stunning properties should be ready to move into during summer 2008.
