To ask for your help in finding a marina/ quayside townhouse

[Househuntingwoes]

NC as I've been asking around IRL too.

DH and I would love to live in a townhouse on a marina or quayside.

Both of us are able to live anywhere in England except Devon or Cornwall (for work travelling reason) and don't want to be too far north (for weather reasons )

The problem with having no real ties to where you want to live is that it makes narrowing it down hard!

We've seen houses we like at Salford Quays in Manchester, Sovereign Harbour in Eastbourne and Port Solent near Portsmouth so that gives an idea of the kind of thing we want.

Are there any other similar developments we should consider (even ones that aren't built yet but are planned)?

What about North Wales? I found this by Googling Conwy Marina, which is beautiful.

Swansea marina or Cardiff bay?

[CwtchesAndCuddles]

I was just about to add Swansea or Cardiff to the mix - have you considered Wales op?

[Househuntingwoes]

Thanks for the replies.

It was through watersideproperties.com that I found what I have done but I wondered if there were any other places that perhaps haven't advertised on that site as there's not much on there.

It has to be in England for work, which is a shame as there's lots I like in Wales.

How about canalside? My house is beautiful, 5 mins walk from mainline East Midlands train station into St. Pancras and 10 mins from the M1. Mooring rights too if you fancy getting a dinghy

Poole Quay in Dorset is fantastic. Not sure of any new developments tho...

[Househuntingwoes]

Rivers or canals would be fine- I just can't seem to find any inland marina type developments other than Salford Quays

Brighton?

[Househuntingwoes]

I've only seen flats in Brighton- are there any marina houses?

Conwy Marina houses are really nice as are the ones in Deganwy by the water. www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-19031918.html?premiumA=true

and across from the water.

Love all those squinkie but Wales isn't an option due to work travelling requirements.

Corney Reach, Chiswick here

[gruber]

There are apartments at Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth, that might fit your bill - looking straight onto the water. Or try near The Camber, Old Portsmouth- there's a development built there backing onto the water (and all much nicer than port Solent, incidentally!- more central and walking distance of everything).

[Househuntingwoes]

Like that too but way over our budget!

[TheSkiingGardener]

Ocean Village, Southampton
Hythe Marina
Hamble?

[magimedi]

I am about to PM you!

Would have MN up for libel if I posted!

[gruber]

Plus at Gunwharf you have a mainline to London station on your doorstep or only 1 hr 30 drive to London...

[gruber]

Oh, sorry!
