A room with a view

Fri, Oct 13th 2006, 11:00

Imagine uninterrupted views from your expansive living room window over Cardiff city centre, including the Millennium Stadium, across the Bay to Penarth marina or standing on your balcony and surveying the Bristol Channel as far as the Severn Bridge and beyond?

Well, imagination could become reality if you purchase one of the available properties on the 13th or 14th floor of the Vega building at Redrow’s stunning Celestia development in Cardiff Bay.

Bev Wookey, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Wales), said: "Even we were amazed when we realised the full potential of the panoramic vistas from this height. We always imagined the views would be good but never thought they would be this magnificent.

"Now that the building’s main structure is up we can actually get people inside and show them exactly what they could be looking at from their very own apartment. Virtually everyone who’s been inside has reserved to date."

Redrow is taking potential customers up into Vega by appointment only and subject to strict health and safety considerations, but it’s a journey that’s well worth the effort.

A fabulous two-bedroom apartment with open plan living area, balcony and en-suite to master bedroom on the 13th floor of Vega costs from £255,950, but the Celestia development also features lower priced one-bedroom properties from just £161,950.

At the upper end of the scale, £431,950 will buy a stunning two-bed duplex property on the 14th and 15th floors of Vega, with panoramic views over Roath basin.

In total, the scheme features 457 one and two-bedroom apartments and penthouses at the heart of Cardiff Bay, within walking distance of the shops and restaurants of Mermaid Quay.

Each apartment includes stylish Bluestone kitchens, fitted wardrobes, electric skirting heaters, wooden flooring in walnut finish and allocated parking. Many have waterfront views.

A fully furnished example of a Celestia apartment can be viewed at the marketing suite, in Wyndham Arcade, St Mary’s Street, Cardiff, open seven-days-a-week. For more information and opening times, call Celestia on 02920 666 678 – you can also book your high-rise appointment to experience the magnificent views from Vega.
