Class and convenience in perfect balance at Upcross Gardens

Millgate Homes’ exclusive new Berkeley Avenue development strikes the perfect balance between class and convenience, a combination that is proving popular with a diverse range of purchasers. And it’s easy to see why downsizers, first time buyers and professionals are all flocking to stake their claim in this landmark address. Lying less than a mile from central Reading, Upcross Gardens enjoys an air of tranquillity that belies its convenient location, courtesy of generous communal grounds that will feature a mature, lush planting scheme designed by Millgate’s Chelsea gold medal award-winning landscaper.

This rare combination, alongside Millgate’s award-winning reputation for building homes to aspire to, has seen no less than twelve apartments already reserved off plan. Head of Sales and Marketing at Millgate, David Wrigley says:

“We are delighted by the success of Upcross Gardens – it offers a refreshing change from many developments so near the centre, having a real air of exclusivity and plenty of outdoor space. Add to this the fact that the whole development has been designed to complement the original Edwardian building that we are painstakingly converting and you have a real ambience.

”This has attracted a diverse purchaser profile, including first and second-time buyers who want something a little bit special, professionals looking for a base from which to commute and downsizers.”

And these apartments also feature something that is increasingly rare with today’s new homes – all plots benefit from either allocated underground parking or a covered car port.

Reading’s cosmopolitan centre with its host of shops, bars and eateries provides all that residents could wish for within walking distance. For those who enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, the surrounding Berkshire countryside with its quaint towns and villages is ripe for exploration. For commuters, Reading provides a fantastic base – in addition to a great nightlife, links to London are excellent, with Reading station offering regular, fast services to London Paddington in as little as 28 minutes*. Meanwhile, the nearby M4 offers access to the national motorway network.
