Exclusive Apartments on Dorset's Coast
A development of 14 apartments and penthouses in Poole in Dorset are opening their doors over Easter to let prospective buyers get a feel for the place.


Thursday, April 1 2004 The Chatsworth Collection, a new complex of apartments and penthouses in Poole in Devon, is being opened to the public over Easter to let people looking for refined coastal living see the apartments for themselves. Set in the heart of Branksome Park, a stone's throw from Sandbanks, Chatsworth is set high above sea level, commanding unrivalled views of Poole Bay. The building has been designed using light and contemporary materials to develop a nautical theme which is continued in the interiors, which have elongated windows and spacious rooms. Balconies overlook stunning gardens which lead down to Branksome Chine's blue flag beach. The development from outside Local architect Peter Traves who designed the building said: 'Our objective was to create a development of high quality contemporary flats in a beautiful setting, where every apartment benefits from lovely views. 'The curved building sits gently in the site and recessed balconies provide sheltered and private areas.' One of the kitchen units Ed White, Sales Director of Westrbuy's Southern Region, added: 'Opportunities to purchase new properties of this calibre in the region are diminishing fast. Chatsworth is a chance for the discerning buyer to invest in this spectacular lifestyle setting.' The light airy bedrooms are a pleasing feature Chatsworth will be open for public viewings from April 9 until April 11 from 11am - 6pm.
