BRACKNELL

LOCATED 30 MILES WEST OF LONDON, BRACKNELL OFFERS THE PERFECT BALANCE FOR FIRST TIME BUYERS LOOKING TO ESCAPE THE DEMANDS OF INNER CITY LIVING, WHILE STILL MAINTAINING EASY LINKS TO THE CAPITAL. BRACKNELL OFFERS MUCH MORE FOR YOUR MONEY THAN MANY NEIGHBOURING TOWNS AND DISTRICTS, YET IS HOME TO HIGH-PERFORMING SCHOOLS AND A FANTASTIC RANGE OF AMENITIES

Over the past decade, Bracknell town centre has been transformed, and the area is reaping the rewards of this regeneration. The ongoing investment has included the development of public squares for events and activities, improved parking in the town, and £6.5m extra investment in the highway infrastructure from Bracknell Forest. But perhaps most impressive of all is The Lexicon, which really has breathed new life into the area. The Lexicon includes a pair of 80,000 sq ft stores housing Fenwick and Marks & Spencer, and boasts over 100 fashion and beauty brands. In addition, there is a great choice of restaurants – Prezzo, Wagamama, Zizzi, GBK, Pizza Express and Tang’s to name a few –and a 12-screen cinema.

Beyond The Lexicon, Bracknell continues to give, with an impressive range of places to eat, drink, and socialise. The South Hill Park Arts Centre is a real gem, housing two theatres, a cinema, specialist art studios, gallery spaces and a restaurant within the grounds of an 18th century mansion house. It hosts over 300 shows, events, films and exhibitions each year, in addition to visual and performing arts courses.

You are also spoilt for choice for fun days out in and around Bracknell. Coral Reef Waterworld has been a firm favourite with families for over 30 years. Following a £13m refurbishment in 2017, it is home to thrilling waterslides, an erupting volcano, a lazy river and a pirate ship. No kids? Head to the adults-only Coral Spa area to unwind. Other local attractions include Go Ape Bracknell, the Look Out Discovery Centre and Hollywood Bowl.

While Bracknell has plenty to keep you occupied, you also have easy access to both the Berkshire countryside and the capital. The town is well served by two mainline railway stations – Bracknell and Martin’s Heron – providing a straightforward route into London Waterloo in around an hour; a reasonable commute. The town is also conveniently located between the M3 and the M4, 11 miles from Reading, and approximately 10 miles from Windsor.

Bracknell is proving increasingly popular with families and professionals alike, who are finding that they can finally afford to get on the property ladder without compromising on location.
