This beautifully presented two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is set within a peaceful gated development on a private road between Reading and Burghfield, nestled in the historic surroundings of Burghfield Mill. Dating back to the 1800s, the mill originally functioned as a watermill and later served as the cocoa grinding mill for Huntley & Palmers, powered by the River Kennet and its tributaries.
Located on the ground floor, this spacious apartment is one of the largest within the development, offering nearly 1,000 sq. ft. of internal accommodation. The generous 21' reception room, complete with charming character beams, leads to a modern, refitted kitchen. The property also features a stylish shower room, a second bedroom, and a spacious 21' primary bedroom with real oak flooring and an en-suite bathroom.
Externally, the apartment benefits from a generously sized terrace overlooking the River Kennet. Residents enjoy access to beautifully maintained communal gardens on a private island, complete with private fishing rights, allocated parking, and the added advantage of a share of the freehold. EPC Rating: C.
