City footballer buys Barratt in Portishead

Bristol City footballer Brian Wilson is one of the latest residents to move into Barratt’s exclusive new West Point development in the coastal town of Portishead, North Somerset. Brian moved from Cheltenham to be closer to his club and has purchased a three-bedroom semi-detached home on the site, which nestles by the marina in Portishead’s vibrant new Village Quarter community.

He took advantage of Barratt’s part exchange package to ensure a smooth move into his new home.

When complete, West Point will offer 96 one, two, three and four-bedroom properties, including coach houses and apartments. It is now in its second phase, and seven houses have just been released.

These include a two-bedroom coach house, priced at £189,995 and the four-bedroom Avon town house, with an asking price of £365,000. A selection of apartments will be available in the future.

Financial incentives include a full value home exchange or, subject to status, a package offering 5 per cent gifted deposit, stamp duty and legal fees paid.

West Point caters for all age groups. A selection of new units - including wine bars, bistros and shops - is planned for the Village Quarter and local schools include a brand new waterfront primary just a few minutes’ walk away, and the acclaimed Gordano secondary and sixth form college.

The entire marine complex is surrounded by an existing wildlife reserve, ideal for nature lovers, and the marina gives sailing enthusiasts the chance to cruise the upper reaches of the Bristol Channel.

Despite the idyllic surroundings, West Point is ideally situated for commuters. The M5 motorway is just three miles away, Bristol Parkway train station is 14 miles away and Bristol city centre is only 20 miles away.
