Bray is an historic village in East Berkshire nestling on the banks of the Thames just to the south of Maidenhead.

It is an affluent village and a highly desirable place to rent or buy property. Houses vary from 16th century cottages in the tightly packed village centre, to sprawling waterside homes.

The beautiful, secluded, semi-rural setting and proximity to London also make it a popular buying and renting area attracting wealthy professionals and celebrities alike.

However, renting houses and flats in Bray often appeals to many potential residents, as buying in such a popular area can be costly.
