Weston Homes sales success in St Albans
The beautiful and historic city of St Albans has provided the perfect setting for What House? Housebuilder of the Year Weston Homes’ development Charter Place, which is enjoying excellent sales success since launching two months ago.
Almost half of the apartments at the development have sold already, with just eight, one and two bedroom apartments remaining for sale.
Launched in March 2011, Charter Place comprises 14 one and two bedroom apartments and maisonettes, offering modern and sophisticated living, situated in a quiet residential area close to the many amenities of this charming city of St Albans, Hertfordshire, appealing to first time buyers, young professionals and couples alike.
Bob Weston, Chairman and Chief Executive of Weston Homes, comments: “St. Albans’ combination of excellent local amenities and swift transport links to London makes it one of the most sought after locations in Hertfordshire. Charter Place has been an extremely popular development since its launch in March and the high quality of life makes it a perennial property hotspot.”
Tom Bradbeer, Land and New Homes Director of Frosts Estate Agents, commented: “We are delighted with the response the development has received, especially from first time buyers. I really believe it’s down to the winning combination of Weston Homes’ quality finish and the close proximity of the city centre and station.”
The apartments are finished to Weston Homes’ customary high specification, featuring an open plan lounge, dining areas and superb bespoke designer kitchens fully fitted with units and worktops, stainless steel splashbacks and integrated appliances including fridge freezer and washer/dryers. Designer bathroom suites are fitted with ceramic wall tiles and cushioned vinyl flooring and have wall hung Roca Laura sanitaryware with contemporary chrome taps fitted as standard.
All two bedroom apartments boast en-suite bath/shower rooms to master bedrooms and oak doors with matching skirting and architraves. There is a choice of fitted wardrobes and carpets to master bedrooms from the extensive Weston Homes Plc ‘Choices’ range and high quality oak strip wooden flooring to all remaining rooms with telephone entry systems. All apartments also have allocated parking and there is also an on-site bike store.
St Albans, one of Britain’s oldest cities with a heritage stretching back to the Romans offers historical character and beauty as well as excellent shopping, entertaining and leisure facilities. A walk through the city centre takes you past a 15th century Clock Tower and many other Tudor-era buildings as well as the magnificent medieval St Albans Cathedral. Verulamium Park in the heart of the city is the perfect place to relax with 100 acres of tranquil parkland and lakes.
The city features a great range of specialty designer boutiques, independent retailers and major stores as well as a wide selection of pavement cafes, bars and restaurants.
