The Blue Triangle - More Green Than Blue
The Blue Triangle area of Fleet is in fact very green, being rich in mature trees, hedges and shrubs which flank the established wide roadways and walks in this much sought after area of Fleet in Hampshire.
Fleet is appealing to families with its combination of great commuter links, Ofsted ‘outstanding’ schools, vast countryside on the doorstep and a mix of property that means Fleet has something for everyone. The town centre offers a wide selection of recognisable brands and independent shops, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants while surrounding developments and villages all have their own sense of community. Many house buyers are attracted by the prospect of an established character property within walking distance of the mainline station and the prospect of a not too daunting commute into London (just 45 minutes or so into Waterloo), so buyer demand is very high for properties within the Blue Triangle area. The London and South Western railway line was opened in 1840 and resulted in Fleet becoming a popular destination for city dwellers. The area continued to grow when land around the general Blue Triangle area was sold for development in 1882. After the First World War, army officers and gentlemen retired from high ranking civil posts and found Fleet an ideal place to settle their families. In addition local people were finding employment in London, to which they commuted. Substantial houses were built along roads such as Reading Road North, Elvetham Road, Gough Road, Fitzroy Road, and Herbert Road. The houses were large to accommodate domestic servants as well as the families, and probably a gardener also. Renowned developers of the time saw the immense opportunity for building fine homes in the Blue Triangle area, in particular Pool & Sons who were established in 1851 and built many substantial and important houses in this area. “Pool & Sons properties in the Blue Triangle attract the most buyer demand, which is not surprising given the architectural merits and character of a Pool & Son property, not to mention the vast building scale and grounds which are frequently half to one acre in size”, comments Richard Ebsworth Sales Director of McCarthy Holden.
