Kings Hundred by Redrow Homes in Bisley

About the Development

Working in London doesn’t mean you have to live in the city. Kings Hundred is a delightful place to set up home, situated in open countryside, four miles to the west of Woking, in the village of Bisley, yet it is just 35 minutes from London by train from nearby Brookwood Station, making your commute quick and easy.

Bisley brings you the best of both worlds, with plenty of open spaces and greenery, yet all the facilities of the town within easy reach, as well as all of the opportunities and attractions of the city. Which makes it the perfect place for our Heritage Collection homes, which themselves give you the best of both, with traditional Arts and Crafts inspired architecture and family friendly modern interiors.
