First homes at Wirral Waters' East Float on sale next month

A launch event on Saturday (July 10) will give customers their first opportunity to take a tour of the East Float quarter, which House by Urban Splash is creating in joint venture partnership with Peel L&P.

East Float is a new community forming part of the Northbank neighbourhood at Wirral Waters.

All of the new homes on sale are being created in the House by Urban Splash factory, before being delivered to East Float over the summer.

Among them are the three storey Town House homes, and the Row House – a new property type coming first to Merseyside.

Customers will be able to tour the new sales pavilion - an iconic structure featuring immersive brand experiences, including screens on which customers can explore various layouts of the homes.

Both house types have been designed by Liverpool-based architects shedkm, with prices start from just £210,000 for a two storey Row House home, while the Town House homes are priced from £345,000.

Guy Ackernley, residential director at House by Urban Splash, said: "After lots of hard work on site and in our factory, we are now able to welcome customers to East Float for the first time.

"This is the most exciting new neighbourhood in Merseyside, if not the North West, and we look forward to sharing our vision - and Peel L&P’s broader vision for Wirral Waters - at our launch event."

In a bid to accommodate the changing ways we live, each of the homes on sale offer customers choice, with a range of layouts available.

The Town House homes offer open plan options, up to five bedrooms and home offices; there is a garden living option – a traditional layout with living spaces downstairs – or loft living – with bedrooms are on the ground floor and open plan living areas upstairs.

Each of them boasts "unrivalled views" over the Mersey.

The brightly coloured, red Row House homes are a tribute to the Victorian mews and will be available in three sizes; there is a two-storey option, a two and a half storey which offers residents a roof terrace, and the largest three storey home. Residents will have private terraces as well as spacious communal gardens for their use.

Guy continued: "We're also immensely proud to be launching our first ever Row House homes in Merseyside; Urban Splash was established in Liverpool and this is another nod to our company's relationship with the area.

"With Row House, Town House and yet to be released phases, we are creating homes that are designed for work, rest and play, as well as Peel L&P's efforts across the wider site to create arts venues, shops and cafes that will really anchor life here.

"We can't wait to welcome our first guests to East Float at our launch."

The homes are the latest reveal at Wirral Waters where a range of projects are onsite and both the Four Bridges and Northbank neighbourhoods are described as progressing at pace.

During a recent tour of the East Float site, Richard Mawdsley, director of development for Peel L&P's Wirral Waters, told the Globe: "These innovative new homes from Urban Splash will help create a new exciting, diverse and healthy community.

"All the hard work behind the scenes is starting to pay off; testament to that is the development work underway which you can see on the East Float site.

"For us and our partners it's all about keeping that momentum going. We have to keep that snowball rolling.

"Work has continued during the pandemic, obviously making sure sure we are socially-distanced, but we have carried on."
