Keith OsborneA new show home has been opened to house-hunters at a high-end development in the charming Berkshire village of Sunninghill.
Beechgrove, the latest offering from multiple WhatHouse? Award winning developer, Millgate, comprises just 14 luxury apartments and penthouses set within nine acres of charming private landscaped grounds. Located in a secluded position, yet just moments from the heart of the characterful village, the beautifully appointed homes sit within an impressive, traditionally inspired building which combines classic yet contemporary design with the finest craftsmanship and spacious, flexible layouts alongside much-desired private outside space to each home.
The brand new two-bedroom show apartment is designed by Alexander James Interiors, it provides the first opportunity to look inside this exclusive gated development.
Set behind private gates, Beechgrove’s impressive architecture echoes Berkshire’s historic stately homes, with an impressive and symmetrical façade and entrance portico and columns. The notable design features continue inside, with a double-height entrance hall which nods to 18th-century style with marble tiling, bespoke wall panelling and bronze features.
With nine acres of private gardens, the landscaping at Beechgrove blends existing, well-established planting with thoughtful new additions. The expansive lawned area is complemented by mature trees, alongside new beech and white Himalayan birch, as well as yew and cedar hedges. Residents also enjoy a unique lifestyle offering, with a tennis court and swimming pool set within the gardens for their exclusive use.
At the heart of each residence sits Millgate’s signature ‘super-room’ – an expansive, open-plan living, dining and kitchen space offering ultimate flexibility for modern life – whilst en suite bathrooms and dressing rooms to principal bedrooms provide the best of luxury living.
Mixing classical elegance and contemporary touches, the finest craftsmanship and details feature throughout, including Shaker-style kitchens with stone worktops, Villeroy & Boch in the bathrooms and herringbone engineered oak timber flooring. Each apartment also boasts a private balcony or terrace, many with views over the beautiful green surroundings.
The jewels in the crown of Beechgrove are two exceptional penthouses, each spanning an impressive 3,000 square feet. With two private terraces to both the front and rear of the building, including an expansive L-shaped terrace that maximises views over the garden, the penthouses feature three generous bedrooms, two of which are en suite, alongside a study.
Andy Barron, managing director, Housebuilding West, Countryside, commented: “Beechgrove brings a unique proposition to Sunninghill, offering what so many buyers are now seeking from a country home: a private, tucked-away location surrounded by nature, yet with all the benefits of village life and access to an exciting lifestyle in the wider area.
