Why is Berkshire a desirable place to live?

If you’re a fan of great food, quality transport links to London and across the UK and quaint villages – the royal county may be the perfect place to live.

In recent years, Berkshire has become a haven for Londoners looking for a manageable commute while enjoying a peaceful rural lifestyle. In the charming villages of Inkpen or Kintbury, you can visit markets selling local produce against the backdrop of the North Wessex Downs. Those looking for something a little bigger should visit Newbury and Basingstoke, two thriving market towns that have preserved their character in the face of modernisation. Both of these offer a short commute to London and convenient proximity by road and rail to the amenities of Reading.

What are living costs compared to London?

  • The average rent of a one-bedroom apartment in Berkshire is £1,348 pcm, compared to £2043 pcm in central London
  • The cost of living for a single person in Newbury is £775 pcm, compared to £932 pcm in central London

 

What are the transport links like?

The journey from Newbury to London Paddington Station takes 41 minutes, meaning the journey to London can take under one hour from Berkshire.

 

What are the schools like in the area?

Of the 99 registered schools in the area:

  • 10 schools were rated outstanding in their last OFSTED inspection, 65 were rated good and 3 require improvement
