Property Description
Where is Bankside Gardens situated?
Bankside Gardens is located in a true lake district in Reading, Berkshire. The residential complex is surrounded by numerous lakes, including Gold Lake and Blue Lake. Its windows offer stunning views of lakes, bays and forests. This is a secluded corner for a quiet life away from the noise of city streets. Reading Gate Retail Park, a large shopping centre, is a 20-minute walk away. A little further, you can find various supermarkets, including M&S Simply Food and Co-op Food. In addition, the location offers restaurants, cafes and pubs that are worth a visit for food lovers. For example, Fidget & Bob, The World Turned Upside Down, and The Cunning Man.
Bankside Gardens is a dream home for outdoor enthusiasts because you can go water skiing or wakeboarding next to the house on the lake. Also within walking distance is Aquapark and the unusual Lagoona Park. The Whitley Wood Recreation Ground is half an hour from the apartment complex, but if you like walking, you don't need to walk far from home. After all, forests are abundant here.
