Take advantage of pre-showhome prices in Reading

Barratt Thames Valley has announced it will launch four striking showhomes at its new development, The West Village, in Reading at the end of April/early May.

Those interested in securing an address at the scheme in Oxford Road, conveniently adjacent to the new Tesco supermarket, should make their move now to benefit from pre-showhome prices.

The housebuilder will be opening one and two-bedroom bedroom show apartments, and three and four-bedroom showhouses on the former Battle Hospital site. Michael O’Leary, managing director of Barratt Thames Valley, says: “I would recommend anyone looking for a new home to buy now before the showhomes open because when they do, the development will attract more visitors and as The West village becomes more established demand will increase, which usually pushes prices up.“

The West Village, part of the major regeneration of the town centre, will transform the area into a vibrant new living quarter with bars, restaurants, offices and workshops. The 435-home development includes a contemporary mix of one and two bedroom apartments and two, three and four bedroom houses.

Barratt has available a range of special incentives for buyers in its ‘deals built around you’ promotion, where offers are tailored to suit individual requirements. The scheme is already attracting young first time buyers keen to invest in what will be a ‘happening’ place to live.

The West Village has a great location, with fantastic shopping at the Oracle, great bars, pubs and restaurants, exciting nightlife and even Premier League football at The Madjeski stadium. Reading is also close to some of the most beautiful rural areas of the country and close to Ascot, Henley, Wentworth and Windsor.

For commuters, Reading West station, with its short link to the Reading mainline, is just a short walk away and provides a very fast train service into London Paddington in 20 minutes. The M4 motorway at Junction 11 is within a short drive. Prices for properties start from £236,950 for a two-bedroom house, £269,950 for a three-bedroom house and £352,950 for a four-bedroom house; apartments will be released in later phases.

The sales office is open seven days a week, 10am to 5pm. Information about all Barratt’s developments can be found on the website: Barratthomes.co.uk
