Portsmouth welcomes new housing development

Homebuyers looking for the tranquillity of a coastal home will be excited by the prospect of a brand new development in Portsmouth, recently launched by Persimmon Homes South Coast.

Dickens Quarter, named after Portsmouth’s famous writer, is a sizeable scheme comprising a mix of one and two bedroom apartments and two and three bedroom homes with good parking facilities, suitable for first time and mid-time buyers.

The site is located just a few hundred yards from the grounds of Miltoncross School (whose pupils contributed to the naming of Dickens Quarter) making the development also ideal for young families.

The first properties released by Persimmon include a range of two and three bedroom properties featuring various interior layouts, reflecting an attention to detail that ensures convenience and style. Each property boasts a well proportioned living area providing the perfect space for entertaining as well as principal bedrooms with en-suite facilities and fitted wardrobes.

“Dickens Quarter comes as a direct result of demand for spacious yet affordable housing in Ports-mouth, as house hunters are looking for a place that will bring them close to the hustle and bustle of the city, with shops and leisure facilities right on their doorstep” explains Rob Allen, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Coast.

Rob continues: “We have established an excellent reputation in the South Coast for building high quality homes in sought after locations and Dickens Quarter has already received a lot of interest from a diverse mix of purchasers including local buyers and those moving into the area. With sizable houses in a range of styles and at affordable prices on the edge of the city, purchasers take no time to realise this is the place to buy.”

The developments boast the best of both worlds with a residential feel and all that Portsmouth can offer just a few miles away. This thriving coastal city, steeped in maritime history, has embraced development and progress. In recent years it has been enriched by Gunwharf Quays, a waterfront development which has quickly become one of the South Coast’s premier shopping and leisure destinations

Dickens Quarter is situated just off the A288 which provides access to the A3, M27 and A27, allowing for easy access to Guildford, Southampton, Brighton and subsequently London. As well as good road links, the site benefits from good rail links. A train journey from the nearby Fratton Station to London Victoria takes approximately 1.5 hours.

When complete, the development will feature 103 houses and 22 apartments. Prices start at just £184,950 and with even plots reserved already, Persimmon is urging interested parties to visit the development now to avoid disappointment.
