Faringdon

Faringdon property prices have benefited from being located in close proximity to Swindon. Faringdon sits just north of Swindon on the A420 allowing motorists easy access to the M4. Reading and Newbury are major towns in the South East and have driven up house prices in recent years. The ripple effect is clearly evident along the M4 corridor with Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead pushing property prices higher and higher. Motorists continuing north will come to Oxford and those who go west along the M4 will access Bristol, Bath and Cardiff. All these towns have developed significantly with major inner city developments of flats and terrace houses.
