John Place, Warfield, Bracknell, Berkshire, RG42

We have thoroughly enjoyed our time living in John Place.\

With two young boys, it was important for us to have proximity to local amenities. As it is so conveniently located for Tesco, the local school, the doctor’s and the library, the location was a big selling point for us and the kids. However, it was when we saw the unusually massive garden, we realised this would be perfect for the boys and for us! The deck has been the scene of many al fresco lunches and dinners and we have made the most of this great aspect. Although it is a communal garden, we are quite often the only ones who use it.

The property itself has more than ample space for us as a family and it was refurbished just as we moved in, so it felt like a new build apartment. We’ve recently freshened up the decor too, so it definitely feels like a new property. We feel it is perfect for a first time buyer or a family with young kids like us.

The final selling point to mention (which can’t be made clear by pictures!) is the fact we share the building with some wonderful neighbours. This creates a real sense of community and adds so much to the homely feeling we’ve enjoyed during our time here. We’ll certainly be sad to leave!

What an amazing apartment! Built in 2005 by the highly respected developer Millgate Homes, this property was built, and has been kept to a really high standard throughout. Located in a block of only six apartments, John Place is a very peaceful setting being located on a no through road. The development is surrounded by trees which gives you beautiful green views out of most windows.

As you walk through the communal door you are met by an impressive hallway with natural wood features, new carpets and it is due to be redecorated soon. The reception room has dual aspect windows and double opening doors which lead onto the composite decking area, which will happily accommodate an outside table and four chairs. The open plan kitchen has been updated in the past few years and boasts plenty of cupboard space, a gas hob, under counter sink, and for me the all important dishwasher! The master bedroom is a really good size and has a built in double wardrobe, you can easily accommodate your normal bedroom furniture whilst the bay window gives you the option to house a desk if you need to work from home. The master bedroom's en suite shower room has a modern white suite, tiled floors and a window for when you need to let the steam out. The second bedroom could easily be used as a full time double bedroom or study/hobby area depending on your needs. The family bathroom also boasts a modern white suite with shower over bath, tiled floor and heated towel rail. There is also a good size storage cupboard in the hallway which houses the combi boiler and is a great place to hide your vacuum and other similar items.

The communal areas and grounds are really well cared for and are maintained regularly. There is one allocated parking space and a few visitors spaces available for when guests come over. There is a communal storage shed on site which will allow you to house bikes and larger items such as the odd suitcase.

This apartment really needs to be viewed to be truly appreciated.
