The stunning show home at Coopers Place

Those looking for a new home in Burghfield Common, Reading that combines a rural location with proximity to local amenities and excellent communication links may believe that ticking all the boxes on their ‘wish list’ is a tough call.

However, at Coopers Place, off Clayhill Road, Millgate Homes has created a collection of nine homes that does just that – with the added bonus of being finished to the developer’s award-winning specification. All things considered, it’s little wonder that just three of these 4 bedroom detached homes remain following the launch of the stunning Show Home in March.

Head of Sales and Marketing, David Wrigley, says: “We were anticipating a lot of interest in these homes – they enjoy a great semi-rural feel yet are really well placed for commuting in to nearby Reading and onward to London and, thanks to a great selection of schools in the area, Burghfield Common is a popular base for families. The speed of reservations, however, has exceeded our expectations – there’s evidently pent-up demand for quality, good-sized family homes in the area and that’s exactly what we’ve built. With only three properties remaining and visitor levels still very high, we’d strongly recommend interested parties act now to avoid missing out.”

A visit to the Show Home at Coopers Place will give a feel for just how special these new homes in Burghfield Common really are. Individually appointed within a quiet cul-de-sac location that’s just a short stroll from the local shops for picking up essentials like milk, bread and the Sunday paper, these homes feature accommodation designed to meet the demands of busy, modern lifestyles.

Ground floor accommodation has been designed to offer plenty of space for day-to-day family life and entertaining on special occasions; a generous hallway provides access to a good sized drawing room, formal dining room and an L-shaped open plan kitchen and conservatory. Flooded with light, this additional space can be used as an informal dining area or a family room - whatever best suits the owner’s lifestyle.

The first floor, meanwhile, houses four bedrooms, with the master and second benefiting from en-suite facilities, while the two remaining bedrooms are served by the beautifully finished family bathroom.

As one would expect from a Millgate Homes development, the attention to detail continues to a specification that really sets these new homes in Burghfield Common apart from the competition. The kitchen is elegantly finished; its bespoke floor and wall cabinets complemented by a host of appliances that, including a five ring gas hob, two electric fan assisted ovens, extractor hood, an integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, means purchasers won’t even have to worry about moving the white goods in. The bathroom, en-suites and cloak room are just as well finished, with crisp, white sanitaryware, modern chrome fittings, bespoke vanity units and fitted wall mirrors completing the specification.

Externally, the front and rear gardens to each home have been designed by a Chelsea gold medal award-winning landscaper to breath-taking effect; with mature shrubs, trees and plants all adding to the feel that these homes have been in place for many years, rather than a matter of months. The fact that each home features a garage and driveway parking only adds to the attraction.

But it’s not just the accommodation and finish of the homes at Coopers Place that is proving so popular - the location is also very attractive. Combining semi-rural charm with great connections to Reading’s bustling centre, the immediate vicinity offers a host of local amenities and country pubs that give the area a welcoming village feel, while a number of good schools - both state and independent - within striking distance make it a good choice for families.

Commuters are equally well catered for; the M4 is within easy reach, while Reading station, 6.7 miles* distant, offers regular services to London Paddington in around 30 minutes**.

Prices for these remaining new homes in Burghfield Common range from £475,000 - £495,000 and the Show Home is open daily from 10am – 4pm.
