All aboard for South Coast penthouses

Location is high up on every homebuyers list and sailors, seaside lovers and those wanting to live by the water can tick every box with Barratt’s iconic Oceana Boulevard development in a key south coast position.

The Platinum Collection of penthouses are the most exclusive modern apartments ever built in Southampton. A south coast city which offers an easy commute to London yet is in the midst of numerous leisure pursuits and a stone’s throw from the Solent and the excellent sailing it offers.

The spacious luxuriously-fitted apartments include two en suite bedrooms, three bathrooms, cloakroom, air conditioning, video door entry system, large balconies and terraces and breathtaking sea views across the Solent and to the Isle of Wight. As well as use of the gym.

Oceana Boulevard is a short walk from Southampton’s bustling Ocean Village marina. One of the most fashionable addresses in town, the development dominates the skyline, designed to resemble the majestic bow of a cruise ship – reflecting the city’s rich maritime heritage.

Priced between £499,999 and £999,999 the Platinum Collection is already attracting widespread interest locally, nationally and internationally.

“The penthouses are just spectacular,” said sales negotiator Jodie Wincomb, “While Southampton already has some very nice penthouses they are mainly in older converted buildings and the city has had nothing quite like this before.

“You can watch the great ocean-going liners coming in and out of the port from the penthouse’s spacious terraces - which come complete with garden furniture and plants.

“These are modern apartments, built to cater to the high expectations of today’s high fliers and are the kind of homes you see in American film sets occupied by the super rich.

“Not surprisingly, given their exclusive nature and the rarity of such properties in the region, we have major interest both locally but also much further afield from people who want a superb weekend or holiday apartment with access to sailing on the Solent.

“The development is in a superb location, close to both the waterfront and the city centre. Southampton has one of the UK's biggest marina developments and its own annual boat show. It also offers a vibrant city nightlife, complete with casino and cinema.

“It also has easy access to mainline railway and bus stations and motorway links to London or the south west,” added Jodie.

The apartments range in size with the cream of the crop, Plot 100, a stunning 12th-floor, two level duplex with two extensive wrap-around balconies and a roof terrace.

“By moving into a new build property, people can focus on their lifestyle – there’s no need to do any DIY or maintenance, buyers can spend the weekend exactly as they please, sailing and pursuing other leisure interests. From sailing on the Solent, surfing at the new reef in nearby Boscombe, horseriding or cycling in the New Forest, to shopping, eating out or visiting art galleries, there is plenty to keep you occupied on the south coast.

“Barratt is offering some suites in the Platinum Collection fully furnished and selected plots are currently offered with100% part exchange or a £20,000 discount.”

All the penthouses include fitted wardrobes to the master, en-suites to each bedroom plus a guest cloakroom, luxurious fitted kitchens with ceramic tiled floors, granite worktops and top of the range appliances including American style fridge/freezers.
