The Sunday Telegraph guide to commuterland - Caroline McGhie

Previous editions of The Guide to Commuteriand have established it as the indispensable 'one-stop-shop' for anyone looking for a home within commuting range of London. Now it has been fully revised and updated to take account of current house prices, new developments and changes within commuterland communities. The book remains as before, following each of the railway lines that radiate out from London's termini, station by station, together with their branches and spurs. In total over 1200 towns and villages in Southern England are described, from Frinton and Ipswich in the east to Bristol and Bath in the west. In each case a there is a summary of the types of property to be found and a representative range of prices is given, together with a succinct summary of the pros and cons of each community in terms of local facilities and amenities and social make up. In short, this book is a godsend for househunters who can quickly narrow down their search to focus on the areas that are most likely to meet their needs without ever leaving the comfort of an armchair.
