An elegant ground floor apartment with classic Georgian architecture - a peaceful setting and unlimited use of Swallowfield Park's grand reception facilities and its beautiful surroundings.

The apartment, known as The Yews, has two double bedrooms and a well-proportioned living & dining room. All this living space is arranged with views across the grounds and, with a south-facing position, is naturally sun-filled on a clear day. The beautiful sash windows and high ceilings make this apartment feel more spacious than most, yet the solid construction gives for a cosy feel.

The bathroom includes a white suite with shower & bathtub and is made unique with its half arch feature window. The kitchen range includes integrated fridge, oven and hob. The new occupier will have inclusive use of one of Swallowfield Park's laundry rooms.

As a former stately home, the original grand reception rooms have been maintained for the enjoyment of today's residents - this includes an elegant sitting room (with Broadwood grand piano), dining hall, and a well-stocked library (an antiquarium of historic volumes, reference books, humour and well-known classics).

The apartment comes with allocated parking, with additional visitors' spaces. There is also an option to lease a garage (subject to availability).

Visitors can stay overnight in one of Swallowfield Park's double bedroom guest suites.
This is available on a nightly rate, subject to booking, and is for the exclusive use of residents' guests.

A Few Words from Quarters

"We can't think of many better places to wake up to - whether you like a morning jog or leg-stretch around the estate, or just enjoy flinging the windows open to hear nothing but birdsong.

The communal grounds are tended to by the management, but residents have the option to apply for some allotment space or to make use of the greenhouse. With 24 acres of surrounding beauty, there's something to enjoy through all four seasons - relaxing on the lawn, fishing by the lakeside, watching deer or sitting in the summer house.

If you're planning to have friends over for a meal there's an option to use the main kitchens for food prep, and entertain in the grand dining hall. Swallowfield Park is a truly unique and tranquil place to call home (or as a country retreat).

If you're working from home, you can tuck yourself away quietly in the library, where the shuttered windows open to reveal restful views across fields. If you need to get to an office, Reading is just a short drive away (where the new Elizabeth Line trains now speed you to Paddington station in 23 minutes)

Our words wouldn't be complete without mention of the local pub - The George & Dragon in Church Road. Full of locals, with good food and a warm atmosphere (yes, we've tried it), and it's very walkable indeed.

Please get in touch with Nick or Teresa of Quarters Estate Agents Wokingham for more details, or to request your viewing (and you might like to bring good shoes if you'd like a tour of the grounds!"

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 22, 2021

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 22, 2021

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
