Let's Move to Basingstoke

When you think of Basingstoke, perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is its reputation as a modern commuter town. But this vibrant Hampshire hub is so much more than a stepping stone to London. With its excellent amenities, thriving community, and balance of urban convenience and countryside charm, Basingstoke has become an excellent choice for everybody from first time buyers, commuters, families and retirees when looking for their next property purchase.

Often overlooked by neighbouring Winchester, Basingstoke is able to hold its own. Commuting is excellent with fast and frequent trains with two lines passing through Basingstoke, one coming from the South the other starting at Basingstoke, offering access to London Waterloo in under 45 minutes while the M3 provides excellent road links to London as well as Heathrow and Gatwick airports.

Basingstoke and its environs has a lot to offer. Within the town there is the Festival Place shopping centre and two theatres and for the history buff there are two museums and nearby is The Vyne, a magnificent Tudor palace, the ruins of Basing House and the Roman wall in Silchester.

Basingstoke is surrounded by delightful countryside with many excellent and thriving local villages all within easy reach of the town and its station, but there are also stations in the Test valley villages of Overton and Whitchurch and within Shefield on Loddon and Hook.
