The Pinnacle named ‘Best Property in the South West'

Leading independent property consultancy Knight Frank is pleased to announce that Pulteney House at The Pinnacle has been awarded the title of Best Property in the South West in the Daily Mail UK Property Awards 2008. The Pinnacle is a bespoke Bloor Homes development of just six detached family homes in Batheaston.

The awards are linked to the world’s largest and most prestigious property competition and a number of this year’s UK winners will be chosen to represent the UK at the finals in the USA this November. Entries were judged by a panel of independent professionals and chaired by Eric Pickles, British Shadow Secretary of State. Their collective knowledge of the property industry is second to none and unsurpassed by any other property awards. The award will be presented to Bloor Homes at a glittering gala dinner to be held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on 31 October.

The prestigious award is representative of the high levels of interest that have been shown in The Pinnacle. The four and five bedroom detached homes, which offer luxury contemporary living with breathtaking views across the Avon Valley, have attracted a number of interested parties. Three of the six houses from the exclusive collection have already been sold less than three months after going on the market.

The development’s show home has had its interior designed by top interior designer Derek Taylor, probably best known as co-presenter of ITV’s 60 Minute Makeover show in which he revamps a home in just one hour. The four bedroom three storey, 3,317 sq ft show home offers classic design with a quirky twist and fuses traditional building methods with the latest in modern technology.

Design features used by Derek include sound systems and speakers wired into the ceilings to provide modern technology on demand and Osma Wavin wet underfloor heating on the ground floor. In the dining room there is a spectacular mirrored table to seat up to eight diners as well as a stunning crystal chandelier. Opulent crystal chandeliers also adorn some of the home’s ceilings, adding an eclectic antique style to the contemporary feel of the rest of the property.

All the houses in the development benefit from an automated gated entrance, landscaped gardens, double garages and external balconies. Kitchens include granite work surfaces and integrated Bosch appliances while bathrooms boast Delineo sanitary ware with dark oak vanity bases and illuminated mirrors. For security and peace of mind in a family home, all six houses are also fitted with a top of the range video door entry system.

Heather Corlett, Sales Manager at Knight Frank, said: “This award is a clear demonstration of the level of excellence and exclusivity at The Pinnacle. The development is a must-see for anyone seeking true luxury living. The beautiful views across the Somerset countryside as well as the high quality finish of the homes make the development a truly exceptional purchase, which is why we’ve already sold 50 per cent of the development and there are still high levels of interest in the remaining three homes.”

Prices start from £995,000. For further information log on to Knightfrank.com.
