Village England will never be the same again. Even during the recession, wealth has quietly seeped into favoured rural pockets across the UK, creating “millionaire villages”. Chic rural areas such as Gerrards Cross now hold prime value and it would not be a wild exaggeration to call it the kind of location that house hunters dream of.

But it’s not just good schools and attractive surroundings contributing to the high appeal of Gerrards Cross, a vibrant upmarket town in Buckinghamshire. Transport links from Millgate’s latest luxury development Alderbourne Place are proving a real draw for interested buyers looking for a speedy commute to work.

The high-speed Crossrail network, due to complete in 2018, is set to bring an additional 1.5 million people within 45 minutes commuting distance of London´s key business districts. Good news for the residents of Gerrards Cross who’s nearest Crossrail station will be in Burnham 7 miles away.

Jonathan Cranley, Sales and Marketing Director for Millgate comments,

“Gerrards Cross is already superbly located for a swift commute into the Capital but with the new Crossrail network on the town’s doorstep it will be even easier for residents to reach their workplaces.

“Indeed as the latest research from Knight Frank has revealed, property prices around Crossrail stations in central London are set to rise by up to 43% and with this ripple effect expected in surrounding commuter towns such as Gerrards Cross, this is a good time to buy.”

The town of Gerrards Cross itself is salubrious and well-run with handsome detached houses, a fantastic golf club and leafy surrounds; you would be hard pushed to find a more agreeable place to live within such easy reach of London.

Alderbourne Place on Fulmer Road marks Millgate’s return to Gerrards Cross and offers eight substantial detached family homes boasting sumptuous interiors set over three floors along with four town house style properties that benefit from the same attention to detail and style. Built to complement its surroundings, these homes are set within a gated environment and start from £930,000.

Interest has been phenomenal with a record 700 visits to the Show Home since launch only two months ago, resulting in the reservation of three properties.

So due to the high level of interest already experienced, we would advise you to call to register your interest and secure an individual viewing of the Show Home at Alderbourne Place.
