The number of people moving out of London rose by two-thirds during 2015, with almost 90% of London-based property hunters leaving the capital in search of better value for money, according to Hamptons International[1]. A popular county for many London leavers is Berkshire, and with superb transports links, fantastic local amenities and beautiful countryside, it's clear to see why. Buyers looking to swap the city for this rural county have a chance to do so, with the final remaining home at Cleanslate's Weston Gate development, in the hamlet of Weston.

According to property portal Rightmove, the average house price in central London is now almost a staggering £1.3million[2], so Londoners looking to get more for their money should certainly consider Weston Gate, where the price of the last four bedroom detached family home is £775,000 - 40% cheaper. Residents at this special development of new homes can escape the bustling city for a tranquil and rural environment for a fraction of the cost of city dwelling.

Director at Cleanslate, Lara Newman comments: “With so many people now selling up and leaving London in search of better value for money, we're happy to provide city escapees with more choice of new homes outside of the capital. The last remaining home at Weston Gate has been designed as a long-term family residence and features high-end modern essentials, in a perfect juxtaposition to the traditional exterior styling. The rolling hills and expansive Lambourn Valley provide the perfect backdrop for this stunning development, offering residents the chance to indulge in many countryside pursuits- quite the opposite of urban living in the busy capital. We're encouraging potential buyers looking to escape the city to act quickly, to ensure they don't miss out on the last remaining home. “ 

The remaining property at Weston Gate offers everything you would expect for an enviable quality of life. Despite a country aesthetic employed outside, a modern specification is on show inside. The kitchen features quality appliances including a SMEG stainless steel oven and ceramic hob, as well as built-in fridge/freezer, and dishwasher.                                                                                                                

The living room is generously proportioned and provides an ideal space for the whole family to convene or entertain guests. All the Bedrooms are spacious making them ideal for younger residents to personalise, while two of the bedrooms benefit from expertly designed built-in wardrobes and en-suite shower rooms, which are completed with white Laufen sanitaryware, and washbasins with vanity units.  Additionally, the home benefits from its own detached garage and generous private garden.

Weston Gate is situated in the Parish of Welford and Wickham, traced by the chalk stream of the River Lambourn. This serene location is An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is perfect for country pursuits. The grounds of the development grant access to the paths of the Lambourn Valley Way, for leisurely strolls. The nearby River Lambourn offers the best trout fishing in the UK, attracting fly-fishermen from across the country.  The Old Berkshire point-to-point meeting, under nine miles away at Lockinge, demonstrates the region's strong hunting ties, as well as a popular local day out for families and friends.

The nearby town of Newbury has over 1,000 years of history, and today enjoys all the modern conveniences of a thriving town. The new shopping centre, Parkway, has boosted the town's retail offering significantly, anchored by a John Lewis department store. It's also home to a bi-weekly farmer's market and other occasional street markets and festivals.

Train services can be accessed from stations at Kintbury, Newbury, Didcot or Theale with many fast train services to both London Paddington and Waterloo in an hour. Situated two miles from Junction 14 of the M4 and with easy access to the A4, A34 and M3, Weston Gate is perfectly placed for easy journeys to the larger local urban centres of Swindon, Oxford and Reading. The nearest towns, Newbury and Hungerford are under 15 minutes by car, whilst London is around 60 minutes directly down the M4.

The last remaining four bedroom home is available from £775,000. For more information, contact the marketing suite, open 10am – 5pm Thursday to Monday, on 01488 649552 or visit www.weston-gate.com to register your interest.
