City living....a new age dawns on Wakefields waterfront - February 01

Exciting changes are under way at Wakefield's premier waterfront development Chantry Square, that will have home buyers spoilt for choice.And whilst the traditional view is that if you want city centre living, you're only option is to buy an apartment, Portford Homes is bucking this trend with Chantry Square by offering a range of properties - including one and two-bedroom apartments (released in phase two of the scheme) and three and four-bedroom townhouses and four-bedroom detached - that you wouldn't normally find so close to the city centre.
Style savvy home hunters are being given the chance to experience Wakefield city living in all its glory if they pay a visit to the marketing suite at Chantry Square where they can view floor plans and brochure material ahead the March launch of a designer show home.
Chantry Square is an iconic development for Portford Homes that forms part of the massive waterside regeneration project currently taking place. Located adjacent to the canalside and just minutes from Wakefield's city centre prices for the first release of new homes start from £225,500.
David Mackintosh, sales and marketing director at Portford Homes, comments: "Early bird interest has been phenomenal and we have over 300 potential buyers registered with us, and eager to find out more!
"We have seen a rise in demand for both city centre living as well as a desire for larger homes, at Chantry Square purchasers don't have to compromise on either. Living at here really epitomises everything city living is about - with the waterside, the sleek design and the prime location to take advantage of, plus all that Wakefield has to offer is right on your doorstep.
"A lot of fantastic detailing has gone into the bespoke designs for the homes and the new show home will illustrate this and give buyers a perfect showcase of what life at Chantry Square could be like."
Wakefield is fast becoming a cosmopolitan city and with regeneration such as what is happening along the waterfront at the moment, as well as the great location, you'll never get bored of living at Chantry Square.
Portford Homes is encouraging anyone interested in finding out more about Chantry Square to call or visit the sales centre (01924 335861) and make the most of pre-showhome prices and incentives that must end soon.
