Fall in love with waterside living

There are few better ways to say ‘I love you’ than by choosing a place to spend the future together – and this Valentine’s weekend Bryant Homes is offering couples an opportunity to see the perfect setting for romance.

Nestling within the historic fishing and seaport of Wivenhoe, Cooks Shipyard offers home-seekers an exclusive range of new apartments, designed using traditional weatherboard and soft redbrick architecture and characterised by comfortable interiors and stunning waterside views.

Over the weekend of Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th February, couples are invited to come along and see the new showhome at Cooks Shipyard, the beautiful two-bedroom ‘Bowspirit’ apartment.

Decorated in delicate creams with tranquil accents of aquamarine, the ‘Bowspirit’ has been furnished to reveal just what can be achieved using an attractive new home as a blank canvas.

As well as surprising their beloved with the promise of a stylish new home together, partners will be treated to a glass of bubbly, which can be enjoyed while admiring the views over the quayside.

The ‘Bowsprit’ show apartment is just one of the stylish designs which is also available to reserve at the development and features a large reception/dining room with open-plan kitchen and French doors to a private terrace, an en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom, a main bathroom and a large storage closet off the entrance hallway.

Selected apartments benefit from balconies and terraces to the living areas and bedrooms, while all homes at Cook’s Shipyard enjoy a high standard specification including fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood, double glazing and gas central heating.

Prices for two-bedroom apartments and duplex designs range from £169,995 to £299,995, while this Valentine’s weekend couples can benefit from a range of money-saving incentives, including ‘Deposit Match’, and assistance with legal fees and stamp duty.

Bryant Homes is helping to transform the former docklands at Wivenhoe, and the beautiful new community will also comprise places of work and leisure opportunities set around the water’s edge.

Wivenhoe’s oldest inn, restaurants and bistros serving fresh local seafood are within a stroll of the new properties, while the town is already home to shops for everyday needs, a railway station and cosmopolitan restaurants, cafes, bistros and bars.

For a wider choice of shopping, leisure and schools, Colchester town centre is less than five miles away, while a range of attractions can be found in the area, including the world-famous Beth Chatto Gardens, Constable’s Flatford Mill and the National Trust’s Paycocke’s at Coggeshall.

To see the show apartment and find out more about Cooks Shipyard, visit the Marketing Suite located off Anglesea Road, Wivenhoe, and open this Valentine’s weekend, 10am to 6pm and Thursday to Monday of each week, 10am until 6pm.
