Stylish riverside homes prove to be a winning formula
Despite the turmoil of the UK property market, Cambridge’s leading riverside development, Vie, has proved immensely popular with young professionals in recent months and now only 20 apartments remain for sale, with only eight properties benefiting from riverside views. Vie is the only new build waterside development currently being marketed in Cambridge. The stunning riverside homes are situated in Taylor House, La Riviere, and span 879 sq ft, comprise two bedrooms and benefit from spacious balconies which are ideal for enjoying views of the River Cam and the surrounding gardens.
Pam Reardon, Sales and Marketing Director for Redeham Homes comments: “Taylor House is an exclusive collection of unique homes which benefit from a riverside location, yet are near to the city centre. Waterside homes are amongst the most desirable in the UK as they offer residents a relaxing environment coupled with beautiful views and with only a few remaining at Vie we are urging people to register their interest quickly.”
The development was recently completed and all construction work is finished onsite meaning that the properties are available to move into straight away. With the majority of the development sold and occupied, Vie already benefits from a thriving community.
The popularity of the development is due to the combination of a great waterside and city location, a high specification and unique design, while still being within financial reach for those looking to get on the property ladder.
Pam Reardon, continues: “The success at Vie highlights that buyers are still active in the market as long as they are offered the right property at the right price. It is a mixture of Vie’s unique selling points, including its location, which have ticked all the requirements for potential purchasers despite the downturn in the market.”
Set in an outstanding location on the River Cam, Vie is an exclusive collection of 287 one, two and three bedroom apartments and penthouses plus three and four bedroom townhouses situated within one mile of Cambridge City Centre. To accommodate professionals and families alike, the design ethos at Vie incorporates the very latest in technology with modern architecture ensuring that each home is energy efficient, light and spacious. The scheme benefits from the new Riverside Foot and Cycle Bridge, which connects the Chesterton area to the town centre.
All apartments in Taylor House incorporate sleek and stylish kitchens which are available in a range of designer contemporary wall and base units, complemented by the latest worktops. Fashionable Smeg appliances including an oven, hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer are fitted as standard.
Bathrooms and ensuites have been finished to a lavish standard and feature Villeroy and Boch sanitary-ware, with Hansgrohe chrome finish fittings, and Italian design wall tiles. All homes feature cycle storage so residents can take advantage of the new bridge, which offers a quick and peaceful alternative route into town. Life at Vie is ideal for those looking to get away from the hectic pace of city life and enjoy a contemporary home by the water.
Cambridge offers the sights and sounds of people rowing and punting, with places to enjoy a relaxing stroll along the river or simply sit back and enjoy the openness and fresh air the area has to offer.
The city is steeped in history and has inspired the likes of Darwin, Newton, Wordsworth and Stephen Hawking. The famous collegiate city offers residents an enviable mixture of culture, heritage and leisure and is an ideal location for capital city commuters with journey times into central London in just one hour.
