George Wimpey reports strong sales at Peninsula

Good sales at George Wimpey’s stunning Peninsula development in Essex are providing compelling evidence that local homebuyers continue to show faith in the housing market.

Ten properties have been sold in the last four weeks at the leading house-builder’s Dovercourt location, which offers something for everyone – from superb two-bedroom starter homes to spacious four-bedroom family houses.

Steve Rolt, Sales and Marketing Director for George Wimpey East Anglia, says: “Recent reports from the National Institute of Chartered Surveyors showed that new buyer enquiries have increased nationally for the eighth consecutive month and that’s certainly been reflected at Peninsula.

“Locally, homebuyers recognise that the drop in house prices has slowed quite significantly and that now is definitely a good time to buy.

“Peninsula offers fantastic properties in a brilliant location and when you combine those factors with the incentives that George Wimpey offers to all homebuyers it’s understandable why sales are so strong.”

Two-bedroom ‘Tendring’ apartments are available at Peninsula starting at just £76,995, and feature spacious open-plan living rooms and kitchens, two bedrooms, a family bathroom and a handy storage closet off the entrance hallway.

A choice of larger family homes is also available, with the stunning ‘Salisbury’ four-bedroom home 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.

Commuters will appreciate that Dovercourt Railway Station is only half a mile from home, with regular services to Colchester in 30 minutes, Chelmsford in 60 minutes, and London Liverpool Street in 90 minutes. Road links are also excellent, with the A120 to Colchester within easy reach, and Stansted Airport only 50 miles away.

The development off Main Road, Dovercourt, is open on Mondays from 1pm to 5pm and Thursdays to Sundays from 10am to 5pm.
