Maidenhead made headlines earlier this year when it took the top spot in Lambert Smith Hampton's 2025 Vitality Index – for the second time in the past four years.[1] Crowned the best place to live and work in the UK, out of 100 towns and cities outside of London, it was praised for its strong economic factors, health, environment and living conditions. Now, homebuyers keen to be part of the town's bright future have a choice of stylish new properties available to them, courtesy of The Atrium from developer Bellway.

The Atrium is home to apartments ranging from one to three bedrooms, with a total of 27 different layouts delivering exceptional choice for local buyers. Every home comes with a private balcony and bright, spacious interior, ideally located just five minutes' drive from Maidenhead station. The properties include allocated parking and electric vehicle charging points, just a five-minute drive from the A404 and eight from central Maidenhead, making them ideal for both commuters and those keen to enjoy daily life in the charming market town.

With 27 layouts, apartments at The Atrium suit a wide variety of homebuyers, including first-time buyers, commuters and downsizers. With three primary schools (Larchfield Primary School, Wessex Primary School and St Edmund Campion Catholic School) within a mile's radius and two secondaries (Altwood C of E Secondary School and Cox Green School) within a five-minute drive, the homes are also ideal for families. Those with older children also benefit from having Desborough College, Holyport College and Windsor Forest College all within easy reach, while the University of Reading is a 24-minute drive.

For commuters, The Atrium's proximity to Maidenhead station makes London reachable in an easy 45-minute journey, thanks to the Elizabeth Line. Trains run to stations including Canary Wharf, Bond Street and Liverpool Street, as well as to Heathrow Airport. Direct trains also run to Paddington from Maidenhead, providing plenty of options for commuters heading into the capital. For drivers, the nearby M4 provides fast, direct access into London, as well as to nearby towns including Reading and Slough.

Buyers eager to make the most of Maidenhead's strong sense of community and plentiful local amenities have all they need close to hand when purchasing a home at The Atrium. The Braywick Leisure Centre, set on the edge of Braywick nature reserve (five minutes drive from The Atrium), includes everything from a gym, swimming pool and health suite to a theatre and an escape room. The local area is home to Temple Golf Club, Maidenhead Rowing Club and Boulters Lock, one of the prettiest places on the Middle Thames. Leisure and cultural facilities as diverse as the Liquid Leisure water park and Windsor Castle are also within easy reach.

Emma Russell, Sales Director at Bellway, comments: “The Atrium is beautifully located for getting the best from the myriad attractions of Maidenhead, Windsor and the surrounding area, as well as for swift travel into London. Given their exceptional position, and the high quality of these bright, airy apartments, we anticipate strong demand from a wide range of buyers.”
