Thatcham home owners can let the train take the strain

With rising fuels costs and growing congestion, more people are ditching their cars in favour of greener and cheaper public transport - which makes Redrow's new development in Thatcham just the ticket.

According to a recent YouGov poll, train use has risen dramatically as petrol prices have increased over the last couple of years and people are becoming more aware of their carbon footprint. So it's no wonder Redrow's Kennet Heath venture, situated just a stone's throw away from the local railway station, is proving popular.

As well as being drawn to the wide-range of contemporary homes on offer apartments, buyers are also sold on the fact there are frequent rail services to both Reading and London Paddington - commuting heaven for city workers in search of a home away from the rat race.

Holly Finer, area sales manager for Kennet Heath, said: "When it comes to letting the train take the strain, our Kennet Heath development couldn't be more perfectly located as it's so close to Thatcham train station, making it the ideal choice for people working in Reading or London, who appreciate the easy commute.

"With journeys to London in under an hour, purchasers can use that time to catch up with work, plan their day or simply unwind, which is impossible if you're behind the wheel.

"What's more, that fact that the station is only a two minute walk away means there's not even the need to park and ride. Commuters can leave their car at home - maybe even dispense with it altogether - and avoid the hassle of parking and any costs incurred."

Kennet Heath boasts a superb range of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes, currently priced from £171,950 to £369,950.
