Green Park Village

Green Park Village is an established residential development by St Edward, a member of the reputable Berkeley Group, located in Reading, Berkshire, postcode RG2 6BN. The community is strategically positioned adjacent to the Green Park Business Park, offering a blend of lakeside living and urban connectivity. The architecture features a distinctive New England-inspired style, alongside modern apartment blocks and townhouses. The entire development is built around a beautiful lake and is part of a 60-acre setting that includes significant open space.

Property Details

Green Park Village comprises a mix of new build homes and contemporary apartments. The initial phases delivered a range of property types, including one and two-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom coach houses, three and four-bedroom townhouses, and three-bedroom lakeside houses. A notable design is the 'Urban House'—a four-story home concept providing the space of a house with the low-maintenance aspects of apartment living, typically featuring a sunroom and garden terrace on the top floor.

Indicative starting prices for apartments were approximately £290,000, with three and four-bedroom townhouses starting from around £463,500, and three-bedroom lakeside homes from £480,000. The quality of construction is supported by the developer’s track record; Berkeley Group was named the UK’s number one homebuilder for build quality by HomeViews in recent rankings, achieving a 4.15 out of 5 score.

Location Benefits

The development’s main advantage is its comprehensive transport infrastructure. The on-site Reading Green Park Train Station, which opened in May 2023, provides a rapid commute to Reading Station, with journey times averaging just 3 to 7 minutes. From Reading Station, residents benefit from onward Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) connections, facilitating travel to London Paddington in approximately 29 minutes.

For road commuters, the site is directly bounded by the A33 and is close to the M4 motorway, offering efficient access to the wider network. Local bus routes (including 9, 50, and 650) serve the area, with stops near the railway station interchange.

The community is self-contained with specific amenities: the Green Park Village Primary Academy, which opened in September 2020, is situated within the development. The Market Square features a Triple Two Coffee shop, and a Tesco convenience store has opened at the nearby Bankside Gardens phase. The adjacent Green Park Business Park offers additional services, including a Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing Centre (gym), the Zest waterside brasserie, and retail facilities such as Asda Click & Collect. Recreational space is plentiful, with 60 acres of land, a lake, woodland walks, trim trails, play areas, and safe cycle paths.
