Eastbourne development bucks current market trend

Redrow's flagship development in Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne has illustrated its outstanding quality by selling out - proving homebuyers still want to invest in the right property.

A total of 260 apartments, including 18 deluxe penthouses, have been sold at the award-winning waterside development The Boardwalk since its launch - proof of the phenomenal success of the venture, which has successfully captured the essence of waterfront living.

Holly Finer, area sales manager for Redrow Homes, said: "The overwhelming success of The Boardwalk is proof that if the quality, specification and location of the property are right, homebuyers are still keen to purchase in the current market.

"From an early stage we decided that this stunning development should be all about taking dreams and aspirations and turning them into stunning reality, where buyers could escape from the trappings of everyday life. We feel this has been achieved and more - and our customers obviously agree."

Situated in the popular Sovereign Harbour area, The Boardwalk apartments combine elements of light, air and water to give a complete sense of space and relaxation.

The quality of the flagship development has been recognised both nationally and regionally and it has scooped five prestigious property awards, most recently the title of ‘best apartment in Sussex' for its penthouse and four stars in the national ‘best marina category' at the Daily Mail UK Property Awards 2007.

The development is made up of six individual buildings, each one taking its name from a type of nautical knot. The bold exterior design draws on maritime influences, reflected in the eye catching facades of the six buildings, which feature splashes of blue and yellow and utilise an unusual combination of aluminium, canvas and wood. A timber decked walkway separates the buildings, hence the name The Boardwalk.

Despite the development selling out, homebuyers in the south of England need not be disappointed; Redrow still has a number of outstanding developments available in Farnborough, Thatcham and Bracknell, with new developments planned in Hailsham. For more information log on to Redrow.co.uk.
