Lambourne Gate, Burnham - Local Area
Imagine a new life in the prized location of Burnham, Buckinghamshire. You’ll love the semi-rural lifestyle with easy access to London. Even better, you’ll love the care and flair that Banner Homes has lavished on Lambourne Gate – a select development of thirteen detached homes, perfect for a buyer like you.
Today’s take on an out-of-town lifestyle
Nestling in the best part of Burnham village, with its leafy lanes and ‘town-meets-country’ feel, Lambourne Gate is an impressive gated development that really does have it all.
The thirteen detached homes of four or five bedrooms are a community-in-the-making in an unspoilt environment that has everything a discerning buyer would need.
Like a ‘real’ village, Burnham has some ‘real’ shops – in addition to the Tesco Express and other convenience stores – including two butchers, a bakers and a jewellers. There is even a traditional street market and fishmongers every Wednesday, and all this is about a ten-minute walk from Lambourne Gate.
There are of course the usual high street names and retail parks for serious shopping, as well as cinemas, leisure centres and a range of sports facilities in the neighbouring towns of Maidenhead and Windsor, just over four and six miles away respectively.
Impressive among the credentials of Lambourne Gate are the handy road links with London, Heathrow Airport and the M25, M40 and M4 motorways. Rail links into London Paddington are also superb, taking a little over half an hour, whilst Burnham will also be on the planned west-to-east Crossrail.
And yet, the Burnham area is an oasis of peaceful lanes and open farmland. The golf clubs of Lambourne and Burnham Beeches make their own contribution along with the numerous other golf clubs in the area.
Within just a mile or so of Lambourne Gate you will find yourself surrounded by the renowned ancient woodlands of Burnham Beeches which cover more than 500 acres. In this special place, you can enjoy leisurely walks and cycling – and there are plenty of opportunities for horse riding both here and in the immediate surrounding area.
The River Thames and the Jubilee River are only a few miles away if you like to explore river paths on foot or by bike. If water activities really are your thing, sailing and water-skiing clubs can be found at Maidenhead and Taplow, whilst nearby Dorney Lake will be hosting the Olympic Games’ rowing in 2012.
In and around the village of Burnham itself, there are plenty of restaurants and country pubs. For true gourmets, the delightful village of Bray – next door to nearby Maidenhead – boasts the Michelin three-star restaurants of TV’s Heston Blumenthal (The Fat Duck) and the famous Roux brothers’ Waterside Inn.
The area has excellent primary schools and Burnham has kept the grammar school system. With its exceptional academic record, Burnham Grammar School is a big attraction for the area.
