A wonderful new opportunity for waterside living is coming soon at Taylor Wimpey’s prestigious Cook’s Shipyard development of flats and houses for sale in Essex.
The leading housebuilder is preparing to unveil its Fishermen’s Cottages, a brand new collection of houses and live/work property in Essex, located in the thriving coastal community of Wivenhoe at the mouth of the River Colne.
The one and two-bedroom Essex flats already on sale at Cook’s Shipyard have been incredibly popular with purchasers looking to sidestep the tiring tempo of city life while retaining a cosmopolitan lifestyle and fast journey times to London and Colchester – and this new phase of homes is expected to be no different.
The next release of new homes in Essex at the development includes one stylish one-bedroom apartment, two spacious four-bedroom houses, and three innovative three and four-bedroom live/work units, each combining spacious living accommodation with a separate business space.
Michael O’Leary, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “It’s no surprise that the beautiful apartments at Cook’s Shipyard have been so sought-after by homebuyers in search of their ideal Essex property.
“This wonderful quayside location offers idyllic lifestyle opportunities for anyone looking to escape city living, but who still needs great road and rail connections into London.
“We expect the new phase, Fishermen’s Cottages, to be equally popular, and home-hunters should act now if they want to be among the first to take their pick from these superb new properties.”
The picturesque waterfront setting of Cook’s Shipyard offers the opportunity to relax and watch fishing boats and yachts pass by, while quaint, narrow lanes lead to a host of smart restaurants, bars and cafés, plus an enchanting range of independent shops, bakeries and boutiques selling fine foods, clothing, gifts and beautiful homeware.
For those seeking an even wider selection of leisure pursuits, the vibrant and cultural town of Colchester is just five miles away, where an almost limitless array of shops and entertainment for all ages can be found, day and night.
The new homes at Cook’s Shipyard are designed to be in harmony with Wivenhoe’s traditional, maritime architecture, and feature a pleasing blend of pastel weatherboard, soft red brickwork and Trespa panelling, while inside, each apartment demonstrates exceptional use of space and light.
One and two-bedroom apartment designs are currently available within the Pier, with prices ranging from just £159,995 to £249,995, and while prices for the new Fishermen’s Cottages have not yet been released, they will offer exceptional value in such a desirable location.
Taylor Wimpey’s new homes are part of the visionary regeneration of the former docklands at Wivenhoe, which will also offer places of work and leisure opportunities set around the water’s edge.
Cook’s Shipyard Sales Centre and showhome is located off Anglesea Road, Wivenhoe, and opens Thursday to Monday from 10am until 5.30pm.
