Situated in the prime postal zone of RG12, which is heralded as one of the best places to live in Bracknell, the Fitzroy Collection is located quietly off Old Bracknell Lane and enjoys an enviable location, just a few minutes’ walk from the mainline station and an easy 10 minute stroll to the new town centre.
Bracknell has now completed one of the country’s largest regeneration programmes, with £250m invested to build an entirely new town centre and highway infrastructure for 2017.
At its heart will be The Lexicon, a fashionable new premium brand shopping district providing around 70 new shops, restaurants and leisure facilities including a new 12 screen Cineworld. As well as a new three level Fenwick Department Store, a new Topshop and H&M a number of stylish restaurants such as Carluccio’s and Wagamama will sit alongside major established names such as a new Marks and Spencer and Waitrose offering a superior shopping experience to suit all tastes. This ‘next generation’ vibrant town centre will make Bracknell well and truly the areas go to destination for shopping, work and leisure.
As part of Bracknell’s regeneration, the local infrastructure and road network has been enhanced to provide greater ease of access to the town centre and also to neighbouring areas. From the Fitzroy Collection you will be able to easily walk on the pedestrianised route from your Apartment front door to The Lexicon.
Bracknell enjoys a unique position sitting only a short distance from excellent road network hubs of the M25, M4, M3, M40 and A30. For travel further afield, Heathrow is just over 18 miles away and Gatwick is 49 miles. Superb work, leisure and shopping facilities are also available in the nearby towns of Ascot 3.7 miles, Windsor 10 miles, Guildford 16 miles, Reading 12 miles and Central London 30 miles by car.
Bracknell’s superb rail links enable commuters to reach London Waterloo direct in an hour and Reading direct within 25 minutes. From Reading you have a new Cross Rail terminal with non-stop travel to London hubs such as Bond Street, Liverpool street, Paddington and Canary Wharf being a welcome reality.
The nearby County Parks such as Windsor Great Park or Virginia Water Lakes and the River Thames are idyllic settings for a leisurely walk or a weekend of activity. Boasting some of the very best nursery, primary and secondary schools it is little wonder why Bracknell is such a highly desirable place to live.
