Retirement bliss at Roman Quarter

Culture, coast and countryside are right at the top of Isobel Wilson’s retirement wish list – and a brand new apartment at Roman Quarter in the heart of Chichester provides access to all of it.

The exclusive David Wilson Homes development is set within the historic walls of the city – just a short distance away from the art galleries and theatres for which Chichester is famous.

“I was living in Devon – a highly sought after retirement location – but it just wasn’t for me,” said Isobel. “I wanted to be in the middle of everything but away from the rat race. I have a real love of culture, so Chichester seemed the perfect destination. I rented an apartment at Roman Quarter for a year and loved it so much I decided to buy my own stunning home here.”

Roman Quarter is located in prime Chichester, near to the coast and with easy access to the South Downs National Park, meaning Isobel is spoilt for choice when it comes to days out. “I looked at moving to pretty villages nearby but I just know I would keep returning to Chichester – so I’m doing it the other way around. I can go walking if I want to – or I can hop on the train to London to visit family. I just love it here.

“And my Quarto II apartment is superb – with its beautifully modern decor and the convenience of quality white goods in my kitchen. The team here have worked so hard to provide me with my perfect home, I am delighted.”

Roman Quarter is currently offering a range of high specification one and two bedroom luxury apartments and penthouses. With access to secure underground parking and exclusive concierge service, the development is proving popular with locals and those looking to settle in Chichester from further afield.

Buyers at Roman Quarter will find Chichester’s world-renowned Festival Theatre and its impressive cathedral are right on the doorstep of this sought after address. “I’m thrilled that Isobel is enjoying a wonderful retirement in Chichester – and particularly at Roman Quarter,” said David Wilson Home sales director, Mark Docherty.

“People buy into a lifestyle at Roman Quarter and this includes an exclusive concierge service and an underground car park,” said David Wilson Homes sales director, Mark Docherty. “The location is excellent as it is only a short walk to the cobbled streets of Chichester and all the amenities.”

The development is enjoying tremendous success – with only a small selection of homes remaining in Quarto II. These include one-bedroom apartments priced from £214,995 and two bedroom apartments priced from £269,995.

The one-bedroom apartments come with a car parking space and offer a fully-fitted kitchen linked to a combined living/dining area, an en-suite master bedroom and a bathroom.

The two-bedroom apartments also come with a parking space, en-suite to the master bedroom and additional second bathroom.

Chichester dates back to Roman times and is home to the world-renowned Festival Theatre. The city is famous for its pedestrian centre around the Market Cross, overlooked by the impressive cathedral, and for its harbour which is a haven for yachting enthusiasts.

There are excellent road links as the A27 offers easy access to the maritime city of Portsmouth, and the A259 provides a quick route to the seaside towns of Bognor Regis, Worthing and Brighton.
