Horlicks Quarter

Horlicks Quarter is a landmark new build and regeneration development by Berkeley Homes, located at Stoke Gardens, Slough, Berkshire, SL1 3QB. This scheme transforms the iconic Horlicks Factory site into a contemporary residential quarter, blending restored industrial heritage—including the original Clock Tower and Factory Chimney—with modern new build properties. The overall development will feature up to 1,300 high-quality homes as part of a significant £3.5 billion town centre regeneration programme in Slough.

Development Overview

The development offers a diverse range of new build homes, including apartments, duplexes, and freehold houses. Current open-market properties range from Studios to 3-bedroom apartments, with prices starting from approximately £285,000 and rising to £675,000 for the limited collection of three-bedroom houses. Specific phases include the meticulously refurbished Horlicks Factory apartments (e.g., one- to three-bedroom units from £285,000 to £580,000) and the contemporary Aquifer House apartments (one- and two-bedroom units from approximately £379,500 to £402,500). A separate exclusive phase, The Urban Houses, comprises just 11 three-bedroom houses, priced from around £625,000. Shared Ownership options for 1- and 2-bedroom apartments are also available through Sovereign Network Group.
