Crowds flock to Orchard Gardens

In spite of the doom and gloom surrounding the housing market, it seems that the people of Wokingham aren’t following the herd. Millgate Homes’ new collection of just ten 2, 3 and 5 bedroom homes in Wokingham has seen phenomenal interest and sales since it launched in early December.

Over 500 people have already visited Orchard Gardens, eight homes have been reserved in the eight weeks since it launched and a number of visitors have put their homes on the market in the hope of snapping up one of the two remaining 5 bedroom properties.

Kevin Ellis, Director of New Homes Sales at Romans Estate Agents says:

“Even before Orchard Gardens launched, we were already seeing a great deal of interest and this has continued since the Show Home opened in early December. Much of the interest has been from local people looking to move into a home built by one of the area’s best new homes developers in what is recognised as one of Wokingham’s prime locations.

“And because of the range of homes on offer, we’ve had enquiries from a broad cross section of buyers. All this suggests that there’s been a pent up demand for housing of Millgate Homes’ calibre for sometime and even in the current market it’s too good an opportunity to miss!”

Providing the ultimate in family living, the two remaining 5 bedroom detached homes feature living space that really ‘wows’. Elegant dining and drawing rooms provide for formal entertaining, while the open-plan kitchen, family room and conservatory 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 bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom. While the master and second bedrooms enjoy en-suite facilities, all of the bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes.

And because they’re Millgate homes, 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.

Situated on Rances Lane and backing onto playing fields, Orchard Gardens enjoys 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 for the two remaining 5 bedroom homes start from £685,000. The Show Home is open daily from 10am – 4pm. Log on to millgatehomes.co.uk for more details.
