Style, quality and location prove an attractive proposition

Combining developer Millgate Homes’ renowned quality, a peaceful location tucked away in a corner of sought-after Woodley and a range of homes to suit a variety of lifestyles, The Pastures has been causing quite a stir, as Colin Wells of selling agent Prospect explains.

“We have had an incredible amount of interest in The Pastures and although we’re obviously delighted, it has come as little surprise. Millgate homes always attract the crowds, and The Pastures is no exception – a good proportion of visitors have either previously bought a Millgate home or have been recommended to visit by their friends – it’s become a real talking point.

“But it’s not just the fact that these are Millgate homes that makes The Pastures such a great opportunity. This is an established residential area and there hasn’t been a development with this mix of houses for some time. It’s unusual in that there are no apartments at all – the properties range from 2 bedroom cottages through 3 bedroom semi or link-detached to 4 and 5 bedroom detached homes. There is something here to suit almost everyone, from first time buyers and downsizers to young professionals and growing families.”

And the surrounding area also has plenty to occupy a diverse range of lifestyles. For commuters, Reading is roughly ten minutes away by car, while Winnersh Triangle station, some 0.6 miles distant, offers services direct to London Waterloo and to London Paddington via Reading. The M4 is within easy reach for travel further afield. Families will benefit from an excellent choice of schools in the vicinity, both state and independent.

All purchasers, meanwhile, will be able to enjoy the best of both worlds – in cosmopolitan Reading, the Oracle Centre is a Mecca for shoppers, combining designer and high street stores with a multi-screen cinema and a host of bars and eateries. On the other hand, Dinton Pastures Country Park, within walking distance of The Pastures, offers some 300 acres of countryside to explore, its lakes providing for a variety of watersports including sailing, canoeing, windsurfing and fishing, while a good range of shops, including a Waitrose superstore, lies within a short drive of the development.

Another feature from which all purchasers will benefit is Millgate Homes’ outstanding quality of build and specification, something that helped the company scoop the coveted ‘New Home of the Year’ trophy at this year’s prestigious Evening Standard Awards for its Woodham Park development in Woking.
