TOWER HOUSE

The Street, Mortimer

Tower House is a development of just 17 exclusive homes in a peaceful location in the village of Mortimer, around seven miles southwest of Reading. Tower House offers a wide range of styles, including 2 bedroom apartments and 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom houses.

Families have lived in this area since the Bronze and Anglo-Saxon ages. After the Norman conquest of 1066, the local manor house was given to the powerful Mortimer family – hence the village’s name – by William I, an event recorded in the Domesday Book. Today, Mortimer’s a vibrant place with an impressive range of local amenities. There’s a supermarket and post office for the day-to-day essentials, as well as GP and dental surgeries, and a chemist. For a village of its size, Mortimer has a great selection of warm welcoming country pubs, most of which serve food. Adding to the community atmosphere there’s a café, library, a couple of everbusy village halls and a range of hair, health and beauty outlets. For the younger members of your family there’s a selection of pre-school, nursery, toddler and childcare facilities to choose from.

Peace and quiet is never hard to find here because Mortimer is surrounded by the lovely Berkshire countryside – ideal for walking, cycling and riding. And when you’re after a little more excitement, both nearby Reading and Basingstoke spoil you for choice when it comes to shopping, entertainment, sporting and cultural facilities.
