Chic city living at Upcross Gardens

Visitors to Millgate Homes’ flagship Reading development off Berkeley Avenue will get a taste of just how chic life could be at this enviable new address, thanks to the stunning new Show Apartment. Stylishly dressed in neutrals with accents of black and green making a bold statement, the apartment embodies perfect balance between clean, modern lines and classic elegance.

And here substance does not give way to style – rooms are light and generously proportioned and include a hallway, an open-plan kitchen/living room with plenty of space to cook, dine and relax, two spacious double bedrooms, the master enjoying en-suite facilities, and a main bathroom. And as with all Millgate Homes, the ‘wow’ factor is evident right down to the finest detail.

The kitchen features bespoke fitted cabinets complemented by a comprehensive range of appliances in a natural steel finish and quartz worktops & upstands. Both bedrooms offer ample built-in wardrobe space and the bathrooms each have bespoke fitted cabinets, crisp white Roca sanitary ware, chrome fitments, mirrors and chrome towel ladder radiators. Ambient lighting is provided throughout courtesy of recessed chrome downlighters, while an approved hardwired security system and audio entry system to control access to the apartment building add extra peace of mind.

But it’s not just internally that these apartments are set to impress. Built around a converted Edwardian former vicarage that is a well-loved Reading landmark, the new-build ‘pavilion’ in which the Show Apartment is housed and west wing that adjoins the original building have been painstakingly designed to blend with their surroundings. 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.

Add to this extensive communal grounds bordered by mature specimen trees, designed and planted by Millgate’s Chelsea award-winning landscaper, and it becomes evident just how unique this opportunity is, especially given its location less than ½ a mile from central Reading.

The cosmopolitan centre with its host of shops, bars and eateries provides all that residents could wish for within walking distance, while 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.
