Development Overview

Buckler's Park is a major UK new build homes development located off Donald Campbell Way (off Buckler's Ride) in Crowthorne, Berkshire (RG40 3GA). The development forms part of a wider community masterplan being delivered across the former Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) site by Legal and General, which will ultimately provide approximately 1,000 new homes, a neighbourhood centre, and extensive amenities. The Bovis Homes phase focuses on high-quality family housing, with current available properties comprising 3 and 4 bedroom houses with prices ranging from approximately £530,000 to £655,000. As a significant national builder, Bovis Homes holds a 5-star rating based on the independent annual Home Builders Federation (HBF) customer satisfaction survey.
