With a contemporary design in traditional Bath stone and open-plan interiors with extra-spacious rooms, Crest Nicholson is hoping that its Bath Riverside scheme in the heart of the historic town will appeal to a broad range of buyers. The company has noted that there has been significant interest from older purchasers looking to downsize from a larger property.
The benefits to trading in an older property for something brand new include a simple change of scenery, freeing up equity and moving into a home with significantly lower running costs. With fuel bills rising, an energy-efficient new-build can save a fortune on utility bills with its energy-efficient boilers and white goods, double glazing and a high degree of insulation.
Susan Young, sales and marketing director at Crest Nicholson, says: "Bath is renowned for its period-styled townhouses and the recent cold weather we've experienced has made quite a number of people reconsider where they want to live. Also, for those whose children have left the family home might not want so much space anymore so a move to something that's a little more manageable might be the prudent thing to do.
"Bath Riverside living is all about a lifestyle. Not only do you have everything on your doorstep, the views are fantastic and there is a growing sense of community at the development. There is also the added attraction of living next to the River Avon and with many people's aspirations being to live next to the water, Bath Riverside is the perfect choice."
Property types at Bath Riverside include three-bedroom layouts which offer lots of accommodation and storage, with room enough to have guests stay without feeling overcrowded. For residents who want to leave the car at home, the scheme's location close to the river and city centre mean it's easy to reach all of its shops, amenities and sites of interest on foot. The private landscaped gardens and seating areas of the development itself also offer an appealing area in which to enjoy the fresh air, meet the neighbours or entertain guests.
