Waterside homes selling fast at Portsmouth Harbour

22nd May 2007 Print
Berkeley Homes is reporting a huge amount of interest in the latest homes released for sale at its superb Royal Clarence Marina development. Almost half of the stunning contemporary two-bedroom apartments in the first phase of Flagstaff House have already been sold.

“Buying a home off-plan indicates a huge amount of confidence in a development,” comments David Campbell, Berkeley Homes’ Sales and Marketing Director. “The combination of a fantastic waterside location steeped in history, high quality homes and superb facilities is clearly capturing the imagination of home buyers.”

Royal Clarence Marina is the final part of the regeneration of Portsmouth Harbour. Dating back to the 18th century, this former victualling yard once provided food and drink to the Portsmouth fleet of the Royal Navy. Berkeley Homes, in partnership with English Heritage, is now transforming this fascinating maritime site into a fantastic new waterfront development of converted and newly built apartments, together with new restaurants, bars, shops and leisure facilities.

Flagstaff House, in the heart of the development, has been designed to blend in beautifully with the existing historic buildings. Some of the apartments have views of the harbour, whilst others overlook an attractive landscaped courtyard or the green spaces of Flagstaff Green.

Inside, the homes offer contemporary living at its very best. The apartments are spacious, light and bright, with a large open plan living space. Many apartments have dual-aspect living rooms or, for sheer luxury, the fantastic penthouses have two balconies; one opening off the living room and the other off the master bedroom. The smart designer kitchens have a full range of top quality appliances, whilst the bathroom and en-suite shower rooms are fitted with the eye for style and elegance that is associated with Berkeley Homes.

Although sited in a tranquil area, Royal Clarence Marina is wonderfully accessible. Just a few minutes away by ferry, or by the new water taxi service, is Gunwharf Quays with its fantastic collection of shops, bars, restaurants and a multi-screen cinema. The M27 (leading to the M3 and A3), Southampton airport and Portsmouth’s ferry terminals are all within easy reach, whilst the rail network offers direct services to London Waterloo.

Two-bedroom apartments at Flagstaff House are very competitively priced from £199,995 and are selling fast.
