Shake up your lifestyle at Peninsula

First-time buyers have something to celebrate this weekend (30/31 May) as leading house-builder George Wimpey hosts a cocktail launch at its stunning Peninsula development in Dovercourt, Essex.

Offering the chance to own a superb two-bedroom apartment from only £84,995 – plus free mortgage advice and £1,000 to help cover the costs of moving – the event on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st May is not to be missed by any would-be home-owner.

Steve Rolt, Sales and Marketing Director for George Wimpey East Anglia, says: “All in all, this is a unique opportunity for anyone who is renting or living with parents to discover how simple and affordable owning a home can be right now.

“We know first-time buyers will jump at the chance to receive £500 towards their legal fees and another £500 towards survey fees – and with free mortgage advice and industry experts on hand to help them through the home-buying process, we’re urging those who want a place of their own to take advantage of what’s on offer right now!”

Visitors over the weekend can also enjoy free drinks and nibbles, with professional bar tenders shaking up mouth-watering summer cocktails, and the opportunity to see inside the sumptuous new showhomes.

In addition, those reserving a home have an exclusive opportunity to win £3,000 to spend on interior styling options to add incredible finishing touches to their new place.

The two-bedroom ‘Tendring’ and ‘Beaumont’ apartments start at just £84,995, and feature spacious living areas, a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood, a modern bathroom, two bedrooms and a handy storage closet off the entrance hallway.

Selected designs also boast an en-suite shower room to the master bedroom in addition to the main bathroom – an ideal arrangement for friends or siblings stepping onto the property ladder together.

A choice of three and four-bedroom homes are also available at Peninsula, priced from just £164,995.

All new homes at the development benefit from allocated parking or a garage, and enjoy a high standard specification including central heating, double glazing, Porcelanosa ceramic wall tiles and a fitted Symphony kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

Ideally situated on the North-East Essex coast, Peninsula offers homebuyers an enviable lifestyle close to Blue Flag beaches, a wealth of restaurants, bars and cafes, a weekly market and monthly farmers’ market and a great choice of shops.

In addition to windsurfing and a wide range of watersports, Dovercourt Leisure Centre at Low Road offers a swimming pool and solarium, fitness suite and floodlit pitch, while facilities for football, rugby, cricket and tennis are also local.

For those who enjoy walking, trails provide the chance to explore the nearby woodlands and meadows, while the country lanes and shoreline also make for perfect cycling, and the National Cycle Network runs from Harwich to Manningtree.
