Octagon’s award winning Long Walk Villas

Winning two awards in the last year, Octagon’s Long Walk Villas development in Windsor, with only one remaining property for sale, is an exemplary luxury housing scheme, built with sensitive design principles and offers spectacular views to Windsor’s Long Walk, the Great Park and Windsor Castle.

With over 100,000 premium Michelmersh Hampshire Orange Red blended bricks used for the Villas, MBH PLC are proud to have satisfied the sensitive conservational and planning requirements stowed upon the local Windsor area, showcasing a product which adds vibrant tones to the contextual landscape. The brick facades frame an elegant terrace of classical 4/5 bedroom townhouses.

Remarkable attention to detail

At the What House? Awards, Long Walk Villas came away with the Best Luxury Development award and quite soon after it won, Best Development of the Year for the 2-10 units category at The Bricks Awards event organised by Local Authority Building Control. Judges’ comments included, “the classic architectural detailing, from elegant brick exteriors and stone dressings to bespoke joinery is testament to a remarkable attention to detail.”

These national awards highlight the Housebuilder’s exceptional build quality and a high standard for site management. Long Walk Villas offers intelligently planned flexible accommodation with the addition of integral garages, off street parking, and private roof terraces with far reaching views. The properties are designed with additional spaces for entertaining and family living, with Villas set behind electric gates and within close proximity to Windsor High Street. Octagon has established a reputation for creating elegant, award winning new homes, built to exacting standards of quality and finish, equipped with the finest bespoke materials and fixtures, sourced from Europe’s leading manufacturers.

Long Walk Villas, Michelmersh Bricks

Frank Hanna, Group Commercial Director of MBH PLC said, “Windsor is steeped in history, set within a Royal Borough and along with Windsor Castle, the town offers a mix of historical architecture and traditional features. Long Walk Villas has successfully created comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, family living environments and the use of Michelmersh bricks on the facade was sensitively considered and designed to complement these surroundings.”

“Windsor has a thriving town centre, connected to many mainline railway stations which have direct routes to central London, the town also includes many schools and leisure centres with a mix of bespoke retailers, designer boutiques and department stores to offer its residents the whole local package. We are delighted to have been part of this development which compliments the existing cultural nature of Windsor.”
