Phase Nearly Sold Out At Reading Site

The property market in Reading is thriving, with new build apartments at Berkeley’s Huntley Wharf development in the town centre in high demand, with 90% of the Bakers Yard West phase now sold.

The development, located beside the River Kennet and the Riverside Square, is proving a popular choice with investors recognising the potential capital growth opportunities in this buoyant town, as well as owner-occupiers looking for an extensive mix of shops, amenities, places to eat and drink, and leisure facilities. Reading also has exceptional commuter links by road and rail.

The final few homes have one or two bedrooms, including some generously proportioned duplexes. Each features a private balcony or spacious terrace garden, with some enjoying views of the landscaped podium gardens, exclusive to Bakers Yard's residents.

When complete, Huntley Wharf will be a collection of 765 high pecification one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments just a 10-minute walk from the station. On-site amenities include a day nursery, concierge, gym and co-working studio, as well as a proposed riverside restaurant, coffee shop and convenience store.

A show apartment is available for viewing and showcases the high-quality fixtures and fittings such as contemporary kitchens with lacquered finished shaker-style doors, plus glazed crackle-effect tiled splashbacks, are available in a choice of colour palettes. These are complemented by compact stone worktops and a range of integrated Bosch appliances.

The bathrooms also feature a choice of glazed crackle-effect feature tiles, stylish chrome mixer taps with industrial knurling detail, plus contemporary matt black feature accents such as black framed glass shower doors.

The spacious bedrooms are fully carpeted; the main bedrooms feature soft grey shaker-style wardrobe doors; and Karndean timber-effect flooring is included in the kitchen, dining, living area and hallway.

Benjamin Ivey, sales and marketing director, Berkeley Homes Oxford & Chiltern, commented: “Reading has so much to offer residents, employers and investors alike – with a thriving cultural scene, superb transport links and great schools, it is no surprise it has been recently identified as one of the top places to live in the UK.

“With its prime central riverside location, Huntley Wharf presents an excellent proposition for both investors and owner-occupiers keen to secure a new home in this thriving town.”

Prices for the last few homes at Bakers Yard West start at £267,000.
