This December, discover a waterfront sanctuary where festive cheer meets riverside serenity. On the picturesque banks of the River Trent, Marina Quays presents a rare opportunity to embrace a life shaped by the water. Set within the historic market town of Newark-on-Trent – one of Nottinghamshire’s most characterful market towns – this exclusive gated development of just eleven detached waterfront homes combines contemporary architecture with timeless tranquillity, creating a sanctuary where every day feels like an escape and the festive season feels truly magical.
Wake to the Calm of the River
Life here begins at nature’s pace. Winter mornings are accompanied not by traffic or bustle, but by the soft flow of the river and reflections dancing across the water. The waterside setting is a natural haven, yet Newark’s vibrant town centre – alive with Christmas markets and seasonal festivities – along with cultural landmarks and excellent transport connections remain close at hand.
Newark-on-Trent – Heritage Meets Connection
From your doorstep, Newark reveals itself as a treasure of Nottinghamshire. Highlights include:
- The striking Newark Castle overlooking the river
- A bustling Market Square with regular markets, particularly enchanting during the festive season
- Independent boutiques, antique shops, and riverside dining perfect for celebratory meals
- A choice of supermarkets, healthcare facilities, and local amenities
- Direct rail connections to London King’s Cross in just 80 minutes
- Convenient access to the A1 for journeys north or south
Beyond the town, Sherwood Forest, Southwell Minster, and the cathedral city of Lincoln offer further opportunities for exploration.
Homes Designed for Festive Distinction
Every residence at Marina Quays has been thoughtfully designed to capture both comfort and the beauty of the river. The collection includes four and five-bedroom detached homes, each offering spaces perfect for creating cherished Christmas memories:
- Spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and family areas with access to riverside terraces – ideal for hosting festive gatherings with stunning water views
- Elegant lounges designed for formal entertaining and quiet retreat, perfect for cosy winter evenings
- Siemens appliances, Quooker hot taps, and interiors by Steven Christopher Design
- Porcelanosa bathrooms and en-suites, each with walk-in showers and luxurious underfloor heating – bringing warmth and comfort throughout the winter months
- Principal bedrooms with dressing areas and en-suite bathrooms, plus additional en-suites and family bathrooms
- Double garages with electronically controlled doors and driveway parking
- Private moorings to plots 6–11, offering direct access to the River Trent
Every detail has been considered, ensuring homes that are as refined as they are welcoming – and perfectly suited for celebrating the season in style.
A Lifestyle Shaped by the Water
For boating enthusiasts, private moorings provide the freedom to step from garden to boat and set out across the River Trent. For others, the riverside offers quieter pleasures: crisp winter-morning walks along the water, evenings watching the setting sun, or afternoons spent by the window with a warm drink as the world slows down.
Imagine celebrating Christmas morning with panoramic river views, hosting loved ones in your elegant dining space or ending the year watching reflections of twinkling lights on the water. At Marina Quays, the magic of the season is woven into everyday life.
