Dive in to luxurious island living in Weston-Super-Mare

For apartment living with a difference, why not try a converted property in a former Edwardian swimming baths with accommodation arranged over two floors. But hurry, as only six of these unusual duplex designs remain for sale at Redrow's seafront venture, Knightstone Island.

The apartments in Weston-super-mare, North Somerset, are loaded with character and one-off features, and their unique style and location is sure to lure those looking for a building with an elegant feel.

Restored beautifully by award-winning Redrow Homes, in a development worth circa £20 million, the Knightstone Island scheme includes refurbishment of three Grade II listed buildings and was highly commended at the Daily Telegraph Your New Homes awards for best conversion project.

Sandra Hughes, sales manager for Redrow Homes (South West), said:

"Knightstone Island is a unique venture, both for its location - an island connected to the mainland by a causeway - and the history and architecture of the buildings.

"The three Grade II listed buildings, including the baths, have been lovingly refurbished and converted into apartments, with two new contemporary buildings alongside, to create a total of 87 dwellings and two ground-floor commercial units planned for restaurant and / or café bar use.

"We've carefully restored original features such as ornate stone carvings, beautiful hand carved plasterwork and timber architraves and shutters, whilst reintroducing some details previously thought to have been lost forever - such as external ‘cartouches' around the outside of the towers, dormer windows in the Pavilion Theatre and clerestory lighting in the Edwardian Swimming Baths.

Set in a fantastic location, virtually surrounded by water, the development offers home owners close links to the M5 motorway, Bristol and Devon and for those looking to travel further afield Bristol airport is only a short journey away.

The six remaining duplex apartments are priced from £189,995 and a fully-furnished show apartment will help would-be home owners appreciate their appeal. It's open daily from 10am to 5.30pm.

The bedroom and bathroom accommodation is at entry level with an open plan living, dining and kitchen area above, including fascinating features such as exposed cast iron roof trusses and clerestory lighting from above.

There are also a small number of properties remaining in the Beacon , Pavilion and Centre House. For details visit Redrow.co.uk.
