Classic town houses in a fabulous setting near Colchester.
Waterside Marina, the superior new development by Hampstead Homes in Brightlingsea, has attracted considerable interest from people looking to embrace a whole new lifestyle.
This new marina, which overlooks Brightlingsea Creek and the River Colne estuary, offers a fresh combination of three-storey houses and apartments. The classic three-storey town houses allow a dual-aspect view over the marina to the west and across the water towards Cindery Island in the east. The apartments lie next to the new pedestrian walkway that acts as a viewing platform over the yacht moorings.
Brightlingsea is the only Essex town to be awarded Cinque Port status and it is naturally proud of its tradition and historic links with the sea. The town offers shops and restaurants but the larger town’s of Colchester and Clacton are within a ten-mile drive. London can be accessed in under one hour from Colchester’s mainline train station.
Waterside Marina forms part of the historic Brightlingsea yachting harbour, which plays host to a number of annual competitions. And in the summer months, the town comes alive thanks to an influx of visitors wishing to experience the carnival, beaches, flower festival, watersports and the local delicacy of fish and chips.
Phase two of the build, which is set around a private marina, comprises more than 175 apartments – many with up to three bedrooms – and a handful of three/four-bedroom town houses, as well as over 20 retail units. Prices start from £185,995.
The crisp lines of these contemporary homes blend seamlessly with the new marina, and the altering façades of white render and western red cedar stay true to the nautical theme in the stunning coastal location.
Internally, the properties benefit from hardwood flooring and fully fitted kitchens and bathrooms, providing sophistication and style. Secure underground parking is provided and there is also the option of leasing a private mooring (subject to availability).
