Millgate’s homes near Reading are perfect for families
Millgate Homes’ collection of nine 4 bedroom detached new homes in Burghfield Common, near Reading, have been designed with modern family living in mind. Combining generous accommodation that provides plenty of space for growing families with a village location that is handy for commuting, these homes could be perfect for those looking for the best of both worlds.
And, with just four of the homes remaining, prospective purchasers are advised to act quickly to avoid missing out. A stroll around the impressive Show Home, designed by Alexander James Interiors, gives a feel for what has attracted such great interest in this popular new address. Ground floor accommodation, accessed via a traditional hallway, provides a fantastic backdrop for family life. In addition to formal dining and drawing rooms, there is a kitchen/family room that is the natural ‘heart of the home’; the beautifully finished kitchen leading into a conservatory area perfect for use for informal dining, as a family room or a play space for young children. A cloakroom completes the ground floor while an integral garage offers useful additional storage for bikes and toys - as well as a home for one of the family cars.
Upstairs, all four bedrooms are of a good size and, with the master and second enjoying en suite facilities, the third and fourth bedrooms share the elegant family bathroom. But it’s not just impressive accommodation these new homes in Burghfield Common offer. As befits developer Millgate Homes’ pedigree - its development at nearby Wargrave scooped this year’s award for ‘The Best New Home of the Year’ at the prestigious Evening Standard New Homes Awards - the specification exceeds expectations.
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 white sanitary ware, modern chrome fittings, bespoke vanity units and fitted wall mirrors completing the specification.
Externally, the front and rear gardens of these new homes in Burghfield Common have been designed by a Chelsea gold medal award-winning landscaper to breath-taking effect, featuring mature shrubs, trees and plants that all add to the feel that these homes have been in place for many years, rather than a matter of months.
In terms of location, families will be well served. The village itself provides a host of local shops and welcoming country pubs while nearby Reading, with its famed Oracle shopping centre, thriving nightlife and cosmopolitan bars and eateries is on hand for shopping excursions and evenings on the town. For leisure time the surrounding area boasts one of the country’s largest sailing clubs, occupying over 200 acres of the beautiful Kennet Valley, golf clubs including Wokefield Park’s 18-hole championship course beckon, and there are ample opportunities to explore the countryside on foot, bike or horseback.
Unfortunately, life’s not all about play – however, thanks to its handy location a home at Coopers Place could help make the journey to work that little more pleasant. Commuters will benefit from the proximity of the M4, while Reading station, 6.7 miles* distant, offers regular services to London Paddington in around 30 minutes**. The area also boasts some excellent schools, both state and independent, including the Garland Junior School and Burghfield St Mary’s CofE Primary School.
Prices for the remaining new homes in Burghfield Common range from £475,000 - £520,000 and the Show Home is open daily from 10am – 4pm.
