The ‘lifestyle’ factor drives buyers to Ash Green
Lifestyle reasons are fuelling the majority of home moves according to new research. More than 50% of people said they want to relocate to new homes like those at Bellway’s The Croft in Ash Green, North Hampshire in order to have a better lifestyle.
The research by Strutt and Parker’s Housing Futures survey stated 35% of people want to be close to shops, public transport and amenities – all being a deciding factor in their decision making process. Recently launched Ash Green provides a range of three, four and five bedroom homes, centrally located with excellent amenities, leisure facilities and schools nearby, with convenient transport links into Reading and London.
Steve Jones, Managing Director of Bellway Homes South East comments: “The Croft provides the ideal location for families to put down their roots. The local area provides a wide range of facilities to meet the demands of everyone in the family from Mum and Dad who need a quick journey into London to the children looking to take part in a wide range of sporting activities.
Steve continues: “Our show home will be opening later this year which will give families the opportunity to really gain an insight to the lifestyle on offer at the development.”
