Home-hunters are being given the opportunity to visit new waterside apartments in Chelmsford next Friday.

Taylor Wimpey’s waterfront development has an initial choice of one and two-bedroom designs to be made available on a strictly first come, first served basis.

The launch will take place between 10am and 5.30pm on Friday 3rd April at the Sales and Marketing Suite off Wharf Road, Chelmsford.

Michael O’Leary, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “There’s a real buzz about our fabulous new homes at The Waterfront, and excitement is building with plenty of would-be buyers already having registered their interest in the development.

“We’ll be releasing prices for the first selection of plots on our website from April 1, but the first opportunity to reserve one of our beautiful new apartments will be at the launch event two days later.

“This is an opportunity not to be missed for discerning homebuyers in Chelmsford and I’d urge anyone interested in snapping up their dream home to make sure they come along.”

The Waterfront will comprise 52 private one and two-bedroom apartments boasting distinctive contemporary designs and luxurious layouts, with many plots benefiting from private balconies overlooking the quayside of the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation Canal.

The development is just across the water from Taylor Wimpey’s hugely successful Indigo Wharf apartment collection, which sold out in 2014.

To make choosing one of the new apartments even easier and more affordable, Taylor Wimpey will offer a range of helpful homebuyer incentives to suit purchasers in a range of circumstances, with further details to be made available at the launch.

The Waterfront is within walking distance of the exceptional range of amenities in Chelmsford city centre, a vibrant place where shopping centres and major chain shops are complemented by the boutique stores lining Moulsham Street and Baddow Road.

There are over 100 places to eat in the centre of Chelmsford, where an extensive range of fashionable bars, traditional pubs and cafes can be found. Meanwhile, the Civic Theatre and the Comedy Club host performances from major names in the entertainment industry on a regular basis.

Ideally located for commuters, The Waterfront is less than a mile from Chelmsford railway station for regular direct services to London Liverpool Street within 40 minutes. The M25 motorway, meanwhile, is just 13 miles from home and the Essex coastline is also close by.

Prices will be available on the Taylor Wimpey website at www.taylorwimpey.co.uk 48 hours earlier.

Following the launch, the development will be open Thursday to Monday 10am to 5.30pm, while the Sales Executive can be contacted on 01245 207388.
