Two quick-off-the-mark property-seekers could be settled in their very own waterside apartment for Christmas this year at Taylor Wimpey’s prestigious Cook’s Shipyard development of new homes in Wivenhoe, Essex.

“These wonderful quayside apartments 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.

“But anyone hoping to secure a wonderful one-bedroom ‘Althorne’ or two-bedroom ‘Mayland’ apartment will need to hurry to make sure they don’t miss out on this opportunity of a lifetime!”
