Apartments snapped up at Ascot’s most elegant new address
Such was the impact of the stunning new Show Home at Millgate Homes’ new development in Ascot that, on the same day it launched the generously proportioned, opulently furnished 2 bedroom apartment was immediately reserved.
Designed with Millgate Homes’ award-winning flair to provide the ultimate in downsizing without compromise on space, style or specification, Brockenhurst House is a truly exclusive new address. Such is the rarity of this opportunity that over 48 individual appointments were made to view the Show Home on its launch weekend - and the discerning audience was not disappointed. Within a week of opening, five of the fourteen 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in Ascot were reserved.
From the moment you enter the development through its electric gates, the imposing façade of what looks more like a large country house than an apartment building provides a real sense of arrival. Upon entering the building itself, visitors are welcomed by a reception area flooded with light courtesy of the beautiful feature roof lantern, while an expanse of gleaming marble effect flooring paves the way to an elegant oak staircase and the elevators that provide access to each of the three floors. Combined with wall hangings that include bespoke frames with hand-finished mirrors interspaced with original pieces of art, the atmosphere encourages one to meander and fully enjoy the elegant surroundings.
Of the remaining apartments in Ascot, one thing they all have in common is space; these are homes designed to provide ample room for both relaxing and entertaining on a grand scale. However, in addition to offering a choice of 2 or 3 bedroom accommodation, the properties provide real variety in terms of layout; meaning there’s something to suit all tastes and lifestyles, from vast open-plan areas that incorporate kitchen, drawing and dining areas to more conventional layouts with separate kitchens. Some apartments even have self-contained studies which, in certain cases, are sizeable enough to serve as formal dining rooms.
All of the apartments also have some outdoor space offering privacy amidst the beautifully landscaped grounds; ground floor apartments benefit from patio areas. First floor apartments all have balconies whilst, the piece de resistance, second floor penthouses have breath-taking rooftop gardens, accessed via spiral staircases, that offer zones dedicated to sunbathing, dining and cooking, with a complete outdoor kitchen with sink and storage.
And while the space offered by these apartments in Ascot sets them apart from the crowd, so does the specification. Millgate Homes has designed everything down to the finest detail to ensure that these homes are ready to move straight into; aiming to exceed purchasers’ exacting expectations. The bespoke, fitted kitchen is designed by Millgate Homes’ in-house specialist; its cabinets complemented by stone work surfaces and upstands, and a comprehensive range of appliances that include a five ring gas hob, electric fan-assisted oven, extractor hood, wine fridge and combination microwave oven alongside an integrated fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, dishwasher and water softener.
The specification of the bathroom and en suite is just as special; crisp, white sanitaryware from the house of Villeroy & Boch is completed with contemporary chrome furnishings, while bespoke fitted vanity units with stone tops provide a seamless storage solution. Each apartment also benefits from two sizable spaces in the development’s underground parking; with the added bonus of a heated ramp to ensure access even during hard frosts.
When you add the Ascot address, it becomes even more apparent why Brockenhurst House is causing such a stir; tucked away off leafy Brockenhurst Road, these apartments are perfectly placed to make the most of the town’s boutique stores, smart bars, renowned eateries and, naturally, its world-famous racecourse.
