"Privately owned homes for the active retired

Right next to Reading Golf Course, Lyefield Court is a quiet courtyard of cottages and apartments set in the former hamlet of Emmer Green, secluded from the main road and close to a good, small shopping centre. The houses all have carefully-detailed brick elevations with a variety of dormer windows, while the apartments have spectacular octagonal entrance halls artistically lit by stylish lanterns. The grounds are mainly laid to lawn and include a pond with a fountain and a small area of woodland.

Reading is Berkshire’s county town, with a major university and many modern shopping and sporting facilities. These include The Oracle, Hexagon Theatre, several cinemas, a number of golf courses and health clubs, the John Nike Centre and many designer shops, wine bars and restaurants.

The area is renowned for beautiful National Trust spots, with the Tudor country house and gardens of Grey’s Court, the former home of the Astor family overlooking the Thames at Cliveden, the 18th-Century house at Basildon and Saville Gardens all no more than 20 miles away. The estate is also well-placed for travel with Reading station, the M4 motorway and Heathrow airport all within easy reach" Show less
