New Wargrave show home sparks sales success
The launch of a new show home in the charming Thames-side village of Wargrave attracted quite a crowd following its launch last month, attracting some 73 visitors over its launch weekend.
Combining a sought-after address, with developer Millgate Homes’ reputation for creating award-winning properties, it’s little wonder that so many wanted to be the first to get a glimpse of the delectable new homes in Wargrave. Add the fact that three of the properties have already sold for full asking price - including the Show Home itself - and it becomes evident just what a special opportunity this represents.
Occupying a secluded, leafy spot on the outskirts of Wargrave, the development represents a rare opportunity to procure a brand new family home in the Berkshire village. The Show Home is one of just seven elegant and spacious 5 bedroom homes that are taking shape here, which offer a variety of external finishes and internal layouts.
A perfect representation of these new homes in Wargrave, from the moment you approach the driveway of the Show Home, it’s clear that this is not just any property. In customary Millgate style it has been designed to blend beautifully with its surroundings, reflecting local tradition in its flint clad exterior while the beautifully landscaped gardens, complete with mature trees and shrubs; and lawns luxuriously carpeted with turf, mean that this home feels as if it has been in place for many years.
Enter the light-flooded hallway, however, and it becomes clear how cleverly this home marries the best of tradition and modern design. The accommodation has been designed to meet every demand of modern family life and offers the best of both worlds. While the kitchen / family room is a large, open plan space which will undoubtedly become the heart of the home, a separate 23’10” drawing room, formal dining room, study and cloakroom mean this property has plenty of traditional reception rooms; offering ample space for the whole family to relax and entertain.
The first floor, meanwhile, houses five generous bedrooms; three of which are en suite and benefit from built in wardrobes, along with an elegant family bathroom. As with all Millgate Homes, it’s not just the scale of these new homes in Wargrave that is impressive. The finish is sublime too.
The kitchen has been designed to maximise the use of space and fulfil the requirements of a functional room whilst oozing the designer elegance that pervades throughout this home. Bespoke, painted floor and wall cabinets are complemented by stone work surfaces and upstands, with a comprehensive range of appliances that include a Falcon dual-fuel range, an American style fridge/freezer in stainless steel, a wine chiller, integrated microwave and dishwasher.
The bathroom, en suites and cloakroom are just as opulent with sanitary ware by Villeroy & Boch, contemporary Vado chrome furnishings and bespoke vanity units with stone tops.
While the Show Home at Wargrave Park has been designed to have the ‘wow’ factor, visitors are equally likely to fall in love with its village location. The local shops, businesses and traditional pubs provide for day-to-day needs, however nearby Henley-on-Thames offers a wider range of shopping, dining and leisure activities. Cosmopolitan Reading, meanwhile, with its state-of-the-art Oracle shopping and entertainment centre is only a few miles away from these new homes in Wargrave.
There’s also a host of good schools, both state and independent, in the vicinity and commuters are well placed for travel by road and rail. Central Reading is within striking distance, as is the A329(M), providing access to the national motorway network via the M4. Wargrave station, meanwhile, offers regular services to London Paddington.
Prices at Wargrave Park start at £1.4 million and the Show Home is open seven days a week from 10am – 4pm.
