Try before you buy!

Waterfront Living at Upton Lake is something a lot of people are considering. It’s a new concept in living. So it’s to be expected that it comes with a new concept in thinking. And like all the best new ideas it’s actually quite simple. If you’re thinking of buying a Floating Home at Upton Lake you can actually come and try it – before you buy it!

Let’s run through the key things to think about…

What exactly is a Floating Home?

OK – let’s deal with the basics. A Floating Home is pretty much what it says. It’s a single storey, high spec, home. It’s designed and manufactured to the highest standards and, at Upton Lake, comes with a spacious open plan lounge, a kitchen, and two bedrooms. You’re linked to utilities and Wi-Fi. It has a decking with stunning views. It’s a home, not a boat.

And it’s the new concept in living?

It really is. Influenced by thinking from all over the world, including the Netherlands where there’s a long tradition of Floating Homes, it’s starting to make people re-think the big issues like use of urban space and improving green credentials.

Where and what is Upton Lake?

Upton Lake is near the River Severn and the lovely town of Upton on Severn. Surrounded by lots of attractions, sights to see and things to do, the Lake itself is a secluded spot and is now the location for a stunning new collection of Floating Homes.

Drawing on all the experience and knowledge of the Tingdene Group this new lifestyle development combines the latest technology with sequestered and peaceful living.

So what’s  it like to live there?

Idyllic springs to mind. Upton Lake has been designed so each individual floating home, because of its location, offers a unique view and experience.

You can begin each day at Upton Lake gazing at the sunrise from your bed and steal some valuable you time with a good book and a cup of coffee. Outside, a fabulous decking area gives you the perfect space for a spot of al fresco dining. Or a cosy retreat for a magical evening under the stars.

Lara – Floating Home Resident on Upton Lake

“Living at Upton Lake takes me away from the negativity of the real world. I don’t listen to the news; instead, I wake up to the sweet melodies of birds singing, rather than the harsh sound of an alarm clock. I don’t hear traffic noise either. The only noise I make is when I celebrate my wonderful life by playing Bruce Springsteen a little too loudly. I’ve created my own reality, and I couldn’t be happier.”

Let’s look at one particular Floating Home. Berth 6 for example. It’s one of Upton Lake’s prime locations, at the end of the pontoon on the eastern side of the lake. It’s a very private spot,  accessible only by residents and staff and it’s even hidden from visitors to the marina. Exactly what Waterfront Living is all about and absolutely the place for you if you’re looking peace and quiet.

But is it expensive – and is it good value?

Floating Homes – even the most luxurious – can be less expensive than a traditional house. And a Floating Home can increase in value. But, when it comes to re-sale, the fact is that it’s hard to provide much information. Why? Because it seems that once people have bought a Floating Home they don’t let go of it!

So it’s good value, and represents new values. But it’s a big step, right?

It is. Which is why Waterfront Living at Upton Lake now offers the ideal first step. It’s called quite simply – TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!

And how does IT work?

The clue is in the title. If you’re thinking about a floating home you can literally come and try living in one before you buy it.

You book a stay in a Floating Home at Upton Lake, and you try it out to see if you like it. It’s a peaceful place, with the water lapping at your decking, the birds singing, the gorgeous countryside rolling into the distance so you could say ‘what’s not to like’. But try it, and when (let’s not say ‘if’) you decide to buy one, the cost of your trial run or stay is deducted from the purchase price of your new Floating Home.

What could be easier? Other than life by the water at Upton Lake, in your own Floating Home. Come and try it. What’s not to like?
