Peabody Abbey Corner

October 23, 2022

With all two-bedroom homes at its Colchester-based development Abbey Corner now reserved, Peabody is preparing for the development’s first on-site event. Situated alongside stunning communal gardens, spacious homes at Abbey Corner appeal to a variety of buyers from young families to first-time buyers.

Hosting a range of properties with distinct designs, visitors will be invited to view properties in both the Spindle and the Bilberry styles. Providing an innovative experience, those attending will be able to make use of Peabody’s virtual reality technology allowing immersion in a fully furnished home, providing inspiration for aspiring homeowners. The homes will also be available to view as they are, demonstrating the blank canvas where buyers can display their own personal style when they move in. Representatives from the sales team as well as a member of the SRC Finance team will also be on hand, providing an opportunity for any questions. With limited slots remaining, interested buyers are urged to book their appointment as soon as possible to avoid missing out.

Andrew Peglau, Assistant Director of Marketing at Peabody comments: “Our Abbey Corner homes have proven to be incredibly popular, with our two-bedroom homes now all fully reserved. Perfectly placed to enjoy everything that Colchester has to offer, we believe that the development’s three-bedroom homes need to be seen to be believed! That is why we are inviting interested buyers to come to see the contemporary collection of homes for themselves. With strong interest in our Abbey Corner homes, there are limited spaces remaining for the on-site viewings weekend, and we would encourage anyone interested in attending to get in touch.”

Contemporary kitchens come complete with Zanussi and Bosch appliances, whilst bathrooms combine white fittings with dark grey ceramic tiling.
