Ladies & Gentlemen, we are pleased to present …

Bellway, Pallantine Court, Chichester

Driving past the Chichester Festival Theatre, it was easy to find Pallantine Court with clear, visible signs guiding me in towards the development.  Parking was provided at the back of the townhouses (a car port for the townhouses and one private parking space per apartment) which enabled me to see the fourteen apartments also being sold on this site. 
I entered the sales office where a presentable sales negotiator greeted me and ascertained my current property situation.  Unlike many of the other sales negotiators who lost interest when I was looking for friends, family or would not be able to move straight away, Bellway’s negotiator still took the time to show me round a few of the properties and explained all the specifications.

Entering through the black iron gates, we walked up the path to the show-home.  When the door was unlocked, I walked in expecting a romantic theme to reflect the theatrical named “Shakespeare” townhouses.  Even though this was not the case, I was not disappointed with the modern, light and breezy feel to the spacious townhouse.

The kitchen faces the East and is at the front of the house which allows for the morning sun-light to stream through the windows.  The light coloured cupboards were well contrasted to the dark granite work-surfaces and dark vinyl flooring which provided a comfortable ambience.  A built in oven, hob and cooker hood comes as standard, however the washer/dryer would be negotiable.  The living/dining room is located off the back of the kitchen and faces west enabling the afternoon and evening sunlight to pour through the double-doors that lead to the garden and patio.  The modern floor length curtains and blinds come as standard in the sale.

I was very pleased with all of the bedrooms as they were a very good size and all with plenty of natural light available.  The extra added benefit to the master bedroom is the tiled en-suite.  The bathroom was a good size with dual entrance through the hallway and bedroom and again nicely tiled with a large bathtub.  There is a large study/family room which can be utilized as a guest room or a fourth bedroom.  Even though I was impressed at the sizes of the rooms, I would have liked to see more furniture and accessories within the bedrooms to make it feel cosy.

It is obvious that Bellway  understands how important space is as the apartments, both one and two bedrooms, are also spacious with large bedrooms.  50% of the properties have already been sold, which is a testament to its central location, space and quality specs.
