Set in a quiet residential street Strawberry Hill Apartments will become an address known for its elegant living, high standards of luxury and interior styling.
To its east and west are large parks, and to its south is the river, with the main shopping precinct just the other side. Although a quiet residential area with tree lined avenues, its location also affords easy access to all that Newbury has to offer. Close to the centre of town, just a stone’s throw from banks, restaurants, shops, leisure activities, essential services and two scenic parks it is elegantly designed and superbly equipped. Once finished, will feature its own fitness room, media screening room and exclusive car parking.
Formerly a high‐end office building, the property itself is being remodelled via a multimillion‐pound conversion scheme that will ultimately create a number of top‐quality units, comprising of 191 in total of one and two-bedroom apartments.
Construction work began in 2021 and is due for completion in Q2 2023.
Modern materials and building techniques ensure that every property is energy efficient and well‐insulated from extraneous noise.
Externally, the modern brick facades will be preserved, but augmented with modern, energy efficient glazing and doors. Inside, the entrance hall will feature a wide reception area, which opens onto a spacious atrium. This provides an airy communal area, perfect for ‘working from home’, relaxation or meeting friends over a coffee.
Here, style and quality speak for themselves. All the materials are chosen for their elegance, durability and finish.
Each apartment is packed with useful features. The contemporary kitchens feature electric ovens, wine coolers, integrated fridge/freezers, washer/dryer machines, all perfectly accompanied with beautiful work surfaces and chrome fittings.
The bathrooms are no exception with porcelain wall and floor tiles, round single ended bath, heated towel rails, overhead shower and wall mounted chrome heated towel rail.
For families with school‐age children, Newbury makes a very sound choice. Some of the best schools in Berkshire are to be found in and around the town.
Indeed, two of the region’s top‐rated primary schools are located within just 700m of Strawberry Hill. Similarly, two of the town’s best‐regarded secondary schools are also close by – both within a radius of just 10.9 miles. All are rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted.
For older students, Newbury College is nearly as convenient, standing 1.5 miles to the south. It’s close by the main road ‐ the A339 – and a dedicated campus bus stop makes the daily commute quick and easy. The college offers a wide range of academic and vocational courses, and caters for school leavers, apprentices and adults seeking to gain new qualifications.
The college is also closely tied to University Centre Newbury (UCN), which offers a BA (Honours) programme in business‐related disciplines. Higher education courses include (amongst others): accountancy, business and management, construction, teacher training, digital technology, engineering and healthcare. Partnerships with major employers such as Vodafone help to ensure that courses lead towards rewarding and sustainable careers.
