Central Square to complete canal-side regeneration

Persimmon Homes has announced the forthcoming creation of Central Square, the final part of its The Wharf regeneration project in the heart of Stroud. The development, which enjoys a unique waterside location nestled between the River Frome and Stroudwater canal, has proved a hit with house hunters, keen to be part of this exciting new community. Waters Edge, the first residential phase of homes at The Wharf was a sell out success and just four homes now remain on the second phase Riverside.

Final phase Central Square, construction on which is due to commence imminently, will complete the new community with the provision of both residential and commercial elements. In excess of 90 homes will be created comprising 50 luxury apartments alongside a choice of three and four bedroom townhouses. Office units, retail space, a surgery and café bar will also be provided alongside a central public square, footpaths, cycle routes, plus a new footbridge across the canal, which has been restored as part of the project.

“Central Square is the final opportunity for house hunters to become part of this vibrant new community set close to the heart of Stroud,” commented Rachel Humphreys, land manager for Persimmon Homes Severn Valley. “The development has really taken shape over the past year and it is not difficult to see why this waterfront location is proving so appealing to those wanting the best of town and country living. Central Square will complete the creation of this cosmopolitan neighbourhood by offering smaller properties ideal for first time buyers or second home owners alongside townhouses designed for flexible family living.”

The first phase of properties at Central Square are expected to be released to the market later this year. For those looking for a traditional two storey home at The Wharf, just four, four and five bedroom detached properties remain for sale on the Riverside phase.

Celebrating the end of this development, a selection of these executive homes are available with stamp duty paid, plus £1,000 towards moving costs, £500 towards legal costs and £350 towards survey costs. Alongside this, purchasers who reserve a home by 20 April will receive a Spring Bonus of £1,000 cash to spend at a local garden centre, John Lewis or on Persimmon’s Finishing Touches range of home accessories and upgrades.

Enabling house hunters to envisage life at Riverside, a delightful four bedroom Sussex show home is open daily, alongside the marketing suite where Persimmon’s expert sales advisers are on hand to provide further information and advice on purchaser options such as part exchange.

Prices for the remaining homes at Riverside range from £289,995 to £379,995.
