WORK to transform the former Transport Research Laboratory site in Crowthorne is continuing, with the first homes on the site now available to buy.
The regeneration work will see 169 properties on the Buckler’s Park site, off Nine Mile Ride. They are a mix of one- and two-bed apartments, and two-, three-, four-, and five-bed homes.
It brings to an end the work on the site, which included testing on innovations such as mini-roundabouts and cycle lanes.
Bovis Homes and Linden Homes are part of Vistry Group which is behind the development.
Marketing manager at Vistry Thames Valley, Alix Laflin, said: “The first properties to go on sale are spacious three and four-bedroom family houses with bifold or French doors opening out onto the garden, while a range of one- and two-bedroom places will go on sale at a later stage.
“The green open spaces, neighbourhood glade and tree-lined streets make this a wonderful setting, and being near to woodland and within easy reach of a nature reserve makes this location something truly exceptional – a peaceful retreat to come home to and enjoy.
“We’ve designed home styles to reflect this, bringing the outdoors in with light and airy, modern living spaces.
Planning permission was granted by Bracknell Forest Council in December last year. When finished there will be 85 Bovis Homes properties and 84 Linden Homes properties.
This is the fourth residential phase of regeneration of the TRL land. The wider scheme has outline planning permission for up to 1,000 new homes, a country park and community facilities.
Show homes are due to open in October, while the first residents will move in in time for Christmas.
Prices start at £499,950.
