Growing demand for new family homes sees Millgate open show home in Wargrave on Saturday 17th November 2012

Wargrave, a charming village in the heart of the quintessential English county of Berkshire where the River Loddon merges with the River Thames, is a growing community crying out for new family homes.

The first documented evidence of a settlement at Wargrave dates back to 1061 with the Doomsday Book recording a population of just 250.  Since then, the village has grown considerably and has proved especially popular with commuters working in west and central London as well as the local area.

Today Wargrave has a population in the region of 3,000 and with its terrific position in the M4 corridor and only 7 miles from Reading, it is easy to see why people aspire to live there.  The village affords very good access to the A4, leading in turn to the Thames Valley Park in East Reading, home to Microsoft, Oracle Software and BG as well as Maidenhead, Slough and Heathrow via the M4.

It is also ideal for families, as there is good provision of state schooling in the village with infant, junior and secondary schools all within walking distance of the new Millgate development. Close to Henley on Thames, the home of the Royal Regatta and Henley Festival of the Arts, Wargrave retains its attractive village character with numerous societies and local activities and the High Street has a number of inns and antique shops. 

Due to its obvious appeals, demand for housing in Wargrave remains high with demand exceeding supply. Indeed the latest research from Halifax indicates that rural house prices have outperformed those in urban areas since 2007 with the Chiltern district in Buckinghamshire which includes the village of Wargrave seeing house prices go up by £1,107 per month over the past decade. 

In response to this demand, award-winning local developers, Millgate are opening the doors to their new show-home on Victoria Road in central Wargrave on Saturday 17th November 2012. This brand new development of 8 three and four bedroom family village houses is situated in the raised area of Victoria Road.
Jonathan Cranley, Sales and Marketing Director of Millgate, comments:

“Finding just the right site is critical when it comes to building new homes.  And we have done just that at “Victoria Mews”, Wargrave.  This development is going to be a dream come true for eight fortunate buyers.  The houses are built with the highest specification and in a price range where we anticipate very strong demand.”
Joint Managing Director David Tate, appointed selling agent, expresses his thoughts on the new development:

“We are excited to be launching this new site for Millgate, their fourth in Wargrave following on from the fantastic success of Wargrave Park, a site of six luxury homes in the village centre. Previous sites in the village include large family homes at Wyatt Close and Harvest Place, so Victoria Mews will be welcomed by local buyers seeking Millgate quality at an affordable price.”

Each luxury family home has been built to include a garage, conservatory and balcony off one of the bedrooms.  The gardens are fully landscaped and this is undoubtedly one of the best residential locations in village of Wargrave. Price guide for the houses is £675,000 to £725,000.
