Waterfront homes snapped up within hours

Four delightful waterfront homes were reserved just hours after George Wimpey held a special launch event for the properties at its Canalside Wharf development in Weston, Staffordshire.

Visitors to the development had an exclusive preview of the collection of just 9, two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom houses on Saturday 7th March, when the leading housebuilder took house-hunters on a boat trip along the Trent and Mersey Canal to see the stunning waterfront location.

Sales and Marketing Director, Daniel McGowan says: “The lucky customers who reserved their new homes over the weekend will have enviable views over a tranquil stretch of the water, where the only traffic is passing pleasure boats.

“Although these homes are already selling fast, quick-off-the-mark customers have the opportunity to secure their waterfront home if they come along and see us now.”

Among the homes on sale is the three-bedroom ‘Marlow’, a beautiful mews-style property featuring a spacious lounge – with selected designs featuring an attractive picture window offering panoramic views over the water – a large kitchen/dining room, a guest cloakroom, three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a large bathroom. Outside there is a private garden and a single garage.

Alternatively, the two-bedroom ‘Hopton’ apartment with open-plan kitchen and living room, master bedroom with en-suite and fitted wardrobes, a second bedroom, main bathroom and a single garage is priced just £149,995 and is available with 5% deposit paid by George Wimpey for first-time buyers.

In common with all new homes at Canalside Wharf, the waterfront collection benefits from a high standard specification including central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen complete with built-in oven, hob and hood.

A three-bedroom showhome is now open at the development, giving examples of the finishing touches which can be added by George Wimpey before moving-in day, including a choice of kitchens, flooring styles and tiles.

Enjoying a peaceful location on the southern edge of Weston village, Canalside Wharf is close to the countryside and just five miles from the leisure opportunities, schools and new sports facilities of historic Stafford.

Closer still, Weston is home to a range of amenities for everyday needs, including a new village hall, a doctor’s surgery, a children’s playground, a public house and a Post Office. Weston Hall is within easy reach of the development, and home to a superb restaurant and live entertainment evenings.

For commuters, the M6 is just a 15-minute drive from the development, while Stafford and Rugeley Station provides regular services to London, Birmingham and Liverpool.

George Wimpey offers a range of deals tailor-made for all types of buyers, and for those with a property to sell, the leading housebuilder’s ‘easymover’ programme offers a range of attractive incentives on selected properties.
