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)?

But if you need to be in London, surely Swansea/Cardiff would work if you are considering Manchester?

Birmingham and Liverpool are worth a look

Oh sorry just realised you said you had to be IN England - so assume working in education or something.

Lots of house for your money

Not education castlemilk but the company I work for only has offices in England.

I travel to lots of them so can be based pretty much anywhere in England as there will be at least one local office nearby (except in the bottom left ie Devon / Cornwall)

Where in Birmingham gordy?

canal side - lots of places off broad street and round The Mailbox

V. Intrigued now magimedi grin

Pm sent!!! My lips are sealed!!

Liverpool might be worth a look but it could be that all the properties are apartments rather than town houses.
There's also a lot of building work going on in Chester by the very busy canal but again it may be just apartments rather than town houses

What's your budget?

Here. Also look on right move for burton waters for the non new houses.

millymae no definitively houses at Liverpool Marina. I posted link to one above.

I'm drooling at some of the links on here!

Budget is £400k max and it has to be a freehold house.

Some food for thought though- keep them coming.

There are lovely canal side houses in Chichester, cant do links though I'm afraid!

Can you give me any street names or postcodes to narrow it down getdown - I like Chichester.

Try googling Chichester Canal Basin,that's the area.
Sorry I can't be more specific,hth!

Try Canal Wharf PO19 8EY, on rightmove. That's brought up the right area.

thanks getdown tigers some lovely properties there.

Wtf 'Tigers' = 'there are'

Emsworth? Some lovely waterside houses there...

Would you look at a waterpark-type place? Lots near Cirencester but not open waters - purpose-built parks around ex quarries.
Maybe Waterloo (Merseyside) or the Wirral?

Might help

Not sure I know what a watermark place is shotgun but never say never.

We just really like the idea of having a view of boats.
