The stunning Waterside development of Cook's Shipyard by leading housebuilder Taylor Wimpey is a beacon for home-hunters seeking the perfect location to put down anchor in Essex.
This prestigious collection of luxury houses and highly desirable apartments - at the mouth of the enchanting River Colne at Wivenhoe - offers a superb lifestyle for a range of buyers - from first-time buyers and down-sizers to executive couples and growing families.
Due to voracious demand for the current phase of properties, Taylor Wimpey is preparing to launch a new selection of high-quality homes at Cook's Shipyard - but anyone harbouring hopes of securing their favourite plot should get in touch without delay to avoid missing out.
Michael O'Leary, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: "It's no surprise that the beautiful homes at Cook's Shipyard are so popular with savvy buyers, who are attracted by the stunning architecture and exceptional location of this popular development.
"We're now launching a brand new phase of properties, but as demand continues to be high, we'd advise anyone hoping to take their pick of the plots to register their interest without delay if they want to be among the first in the queue."
Taylor Wimpey's collection of apartments and houses at Cook's Shipyard is part of the visionary regeneration of the former docklands at Wivenhoe, which will also offer places of work and leisure opportunities set around the water's edge.
The new homes are designed to be in harmony with Wivenhoe's traditional, maritime architecture, and feature a pleasing blend of pastel weatherboard, soft red brickwork and Trespa panelling.
The picturesque waterfront setting offers the opportunity to relax and watch fishing boats and yachts pass by, while quaint, narrow lanes lead to a host of smart restaurants, bars and cafés, plus an enchanting range of independent shops, bakeries and boutiques selling fine foods, clothing, gifts and beautiful homeware.
Wivenhoe Sailing Club is close to the development, offering mooring opportunities and hosting races and many other events all year round, while walkers will enjoy the riverside footpaths out to the sea shore or to the vibrant and cultural town of Colchester just three miles upstream, where a wider choice of shopping, leisure facilities and schools are located.
Although the pace and quality of life at this sought-after location in Wivenhoe is restful, it's also a very well-connected town, with Wivenhoe station just a short walk away from the development, offering direct rail services into London Liverpool Street in as little as 69 minutes.
The development also benefits from close proximity to the A12, putting the M25 within easy reach. For international travel, Stansted Airport is only 35 miles from the door.
Property-seekers hoping to register an interest in the new phase of homes at Cook's Shipyard should visit the Sales and Marketing Suite, located off Anglesea Road, Wivenhoe, and open Thursday to Monday from 10am until 5.30pm.
