Waterside apartments show a ‘splash' of style

Two chic new show apartments on the edge of the River Usk in Newport are opening this weekend (July 12/13) giving buyers a glimpse of the glamorous lifestyle that awaits them at Alexandra Gate. Redrow's flagship development is making waves in the town with a wide range of homes available, including apartments with fabulous views overlooking the river.

The opening of the one and two-bedroom show apartments will be the first time eager home buyers have been given the opportunity to view fully-furnished and professionally decorated apartments at the superb development, which is ideally located in the heart of Newport.

Luly Brice, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Wales), said: "We've gone for a high specification glamorous finish in the one-bedroom show apartment with bespoke glass furniture, metallic finishes, contemporary lighting and stylish artwork.

"The striking local landscape has also provided inspiration for the interior, with photography of the area's silver transporter bridge - a Grade I listed structure and one of only three like it in the UK - perfectly offsetting the metallic accent walls and steel-effect accessories.

"The lounge area is cool and cutting-edge, with a high gloss white coffee table and corner sofa group. The open plan kitchen is separated from the living space with an ultra-modern single-stem glass and steel bar table and white gloss bar stools.

"The master bedroom oozes glamour with sumptuous wall-to-wall curtains and a continuation of the elegant silver and white colour-scheme. The whole apartment is ideally suited for a young professional, with its up-to-the-minute design reflecting the forward-thinking nature of this city.

"Alexandra Gate has a wide-range of homes on offer, whether it is for a family, young professional, retired couple or first-time buyers. Redrow has had massive success in South Wales with each of our developments growing into an enviable community and we know that this will be a terrific place to live."

The new homes are part of a major facelift for the city and the first part of the wider regeneration plans for Old Town Dock. The surrounding area will also contain an office district, an 80-room hotel, a park and other facilities all set along the banks of the River Usk.

With the M4 motorway nearby providing easy access to other major towns and cities, including Cardiff and Bristol, the development is perfect for commuters working outside of Newport.

Properties at the development range from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom homes and are currently priced from £132,000 to £249,995.

The new show homes will open Saturday and Sunday, July 12 and 13, with drinks , nibbles and the opportunity to quiz Redrow's friendly sales staff on the properties for sale plus help and incentives available via ‘re:assure'. Visit between 10am and 5.30pm or for more details log on to Redrow.co.uk.
