Schools are also a significant draw, be they state or independent, so an easy school run is important. ndependent schools include Horris Hill, St Gabriel’s, Cheam and Thorngrove while one of the strongest performing state schools is St Bartholemew’s. Also popular with buyers moving from London, particularly downsizing 50-plus purchasers, are the villages of Ashampstead and Hampstead Norreys. Villages on the northwest of the Berkshire Downs like Brightwalton, Chaddleworth, Leckhampstead and those in the Lambourn Valley are also in demand. For the more upmarket type of client, there is also the Great Shefford / Hungerford area.

It is the countryside in particular which can be seen as a draw in comparison to other surrounding areas, such as Basingstoke and Reading. For a commuter looking to buy property, they often look to Newbury thanks in part to the great and picturesque offering of countryside and the idyllic setting in which the town is situated. There are after all a number of Newbury estate agents able to offer great advice as to how to best buy property in the area.
