Tech And Design Not Compromised On New Country Homes

Lockdown has seen more and more people looking to move home from London to somewhere more rural, and developer Legal & General Homes is keen to point out that a new build property in the countryside doesn’t compromise on smart technology and design detail.

The housebuilder’s developments in Berkshire – Finchwood Park near Finchampsead and Buckler's Park in Crowthorne – offer buyers ‘the best of both worlds’ to London buyers wanting green surroundings and more living space.

• High-speed, fibre broadband is cabled directly into each house from day one.
• Features like separate studies and above-average ceiling heights also mean pleasant working environments.
• Other high-specification fixtures and fittings included in the sale price are Bosch kitchen appliances, a Hive smart heating system, Amtico flooring, Minoli tiles, Roca sanitaryware and all carpets and landscaping throughout.
• As well as communal green space and woodland, homes at both developments feature balconies, terraces and/or spacious gardens.
• Direct trains into London take less than an hour from Bracknell and Wokingham – making easy commutes for days in the office or socialising.
• Help to Buy, Part Exchange and Assisted Move are available at both developments, as well as Stamp Duty Incentives on selected properties.
• Virtual tours on selected properties mean buyers can continue their search from their own homes during lockdown.
