Show stopping space and style at Orchard Gardens
Some things are worth waiting for and the launch of Millgate Homes’ new collection of just ten 2, 3 and 5 bedroom homes in Wokingham was no exception. The launch weekend saw around eighty visitors view the new Show Home at Orchard Gardens and since then interest has remained high with fifty to sixty visitors a week. With two of the homes already reserved, Orchard Gardens looks set to become Wokingham’s most popular new address.
The sheer space of the Show Home is evident as soon as visitors step inside the light-filled entrance hall. This is a home with generous living accommodation and real ‘wow factor’. While elegant dining and drawing rooms provide for formal entertaining, an open-plan kitchen, family room and orangery create an impressive space to spend time with the whole family. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a cloakroom, utility and study - a handy space for those who work from home or simply for hiding away the technology.
Upstairs, the space is equally impressive with 5 double bedrooms and a large family bathroom. While the master and second bedrooms enjoy en-suite facilities, all of the bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes.
As one would expect of a home of this calibre, the specification and finish are of the highest standard. The kitchen features bespoke fitted cabinets, quartz stone work surfaces and is equipped with a comprehensive range of appliances that includes a five ring hob, two fan assisted ovens, integrated frost free fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Bathrooms, en-suites and cloakrooms have crisp, white sanitary ware for a timeless look, complemented by chrome fitments, fitted mirrors and chrome towel ladder radiators. Outside the attention to detail is continued with gardens beautifully designed and planted by Millgate’s Chelsea award-winning landscaper.
Alongside the 5 bedroom detached homes, Orchard Gardens also offers a selection of 2 and 3 bedroom cottages, ideal for downsizers and young families alike. The 3 bedroom cottages feature an open-plan kitchen, dining room and conservatory in addition to a separate living room whilst the 2 bedroom cottages benefit from a kitchen/breakfast room and open plan living room/conservatory. All of the 2 and 3 bedroom cottages have an en-suite to the master bedroom.
Add to all this the sought-after location and it’s easy to see why Orchard Gardens has caused such a stir. Situated on Rances Lane and backing onto playing fields, this is a tranquil setting in a mature, leafy residential area. Wokingham’s shops, bars and restaurants are less than a mile away and excellent travel links are close at hand. The M4 and M3 are easily accessible and the railway station is within a mile, offering links to London in less than an hour*. There’s also a fine range of state and independent schools in the area.
Prices start from £287,950. For further details, log on to Millgatehomes.co.uk.
