Superb penthouse showhome to open at Royal Clarence Marina

Berkeley Homes Southern will unveil a fantastic new two-bedroom penthouse in Flagstaff House at the prestigious Royal Clarence Marina on the weekend of 27th and 28th September. The showhome's superb design and magnificent views will give prospective homebuyers a tantalising glimpse of the idyllic lifestyle they could enjoy living in a luxury waterside home at this award-winning development.

Complimentary refreshments will be offered throughout the weekend and every visitor will have the chance to enter a prize draw to win a £100 voucher to dine at Loch Fyne, an excellent seafood restaurant in a wonderful waterside location at Gunwharf Quays.
Flagstaff House is the final phase of homes at Royal Clarence Marina, where 70 per cent of the homes are now occupied and a great sense of community is developing. The building, which houses just 22 contemporary two-bedroom apartments and penthouses, has been beautifully designed to blend in with the splendid Georgian architecture of the surrounding buildings, some of which date back to the nineteenth century when Royal Clarence Marina was first built to supply food and drink to the Royal Navy.

The new show penthouse is both classic and elegant. The spacious open plan living/dining/kitchen area opens out onto a private terrace that provides panoramic views over Portsmouth Harbour towards Spinnaker Tower. The penthouse features a second terrace to the master bedroom, two en suite bathrooms and the added convenience of a separate cloakroom - an unusual bonus in an apartment. It is decorated in soft hues that maximise the light flooding in through the windows and create a great sense of space and tranquillity.

Joanne Archer from Vogue Interiors, who designed the interior design scheme for the stunning showhome, comments: "I was inspired by imagining the relaxing lifestyle that a resident at Flagstaff House would enjoy; the scheme was designed to showcase the spectacular panoramic views across the marina."

Berkeley Homes is renowned for its very high specification and attention to detail and the ‘Berkeley difference' is evident in every aspect of the new showhome.

Amongst yachting enthusiasts, Royal Clarence Marina has an enviable reputation for being non-tidal. Although the setting is very peaceful, it is close to great facilities and is very accessible. Bars and restaurants are planned at Royal Clarence Marina; already open is The Pumphouse, serving delicious fresh food made daily on the premises, which is proving a roaring success with residents and visiting yachtsmen. Just minutes away, by ferry or private Water Taxi from the marina, is Gunwharf Quays with its fantastic range of shops, bars, restaurants and a multi-screen cinema. Next door to Gunwharf Quays is Portsmouth Harbour railway station, which has direct 90-minute services to London Waterloo. Road links are excellent with the M27 from Portsmouth easily connecting to the A3 and M3, Southampton Airport and Southampton's ferry terminals.

Prices at Flagstaff House start from £240,000 for a two-bedroom apartment and £315,000 for a two-bedroom penthouse apartment. For more information see Royal-clarence-marina.co.uk.
