Aldershot
Known as the home of the British Army, Aldershot village has transformed over the years to the modern day bustling town it is now. Located in a pocket between the popular towns of Farnham, Fleet and Farnborough, Aldershot consists of residential Victorian terraces along with some large detached and semi detached properties. More recent times have seen Aldershot as a key area for development, with blocks of contemporary apartments along with larger scale projects such as Wellesley. Wellesley is an exciting new neighbourhood in the heart of the Hampshire countryside.
