First And Final Chances At North Hampshire Developments

House-hunters seeking a home in one of the numerous well-served and well-connected towns in the northern part of Hampshire can find a brand new development unveiled and one close to sell-out that still has a last opportunity to purchase.

David Wilson Homes is preparing to release the last two properties at its popular Oakwood Grange development in Hook, which is now over 95% sold. The well-established community on Titchener Road is anticipating its last two buyers, with a three-bedroom and a four bedroom house available, and interested buyers should get in touch to avoid missing out.

Rob Allen, sales director at David Wilson Homes Southern, said: “Our Oakwood Grange development is drawing to a close and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed seeing this neighbourhood take shape. First-time buyers, downsizers, second-steppers and growing families are already beginning the next phase of their home life at the development and we can’t wait to welcome our last couple of homeowners.

“For anyone thinking of purchasing a new home, we are soon releasing our last two homes at Oakwood Grange and encourage those interested to get in touch with us as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.”

Buyers who move to Hook can expect to be able to take advantage of a picturesque village location, with Bassett’s Mead Country Park just over a mile away, as well as local amenities such as a Tesco and other essentials within walking distance. There’s also a selection of nurseries and schools nearby, including Hook Junior School, Hook Infant School and Greenfields County Junior School. All three of these schools have an Ofsted rating of ‘Good’ or above, which means there are excellent education options within the area for families.

David Wilson Homes has offers available on the remaining properties at Oakwood Grange, which include the Armed Forces and Education Worker schemes, in addition to the Movemaker scheme which helps those with a property to sell. The Armed Forces and Education Worker scheme offer a 5% deposit contribution, up to a value of £15,000. With the Movemaker scheme, David Wilson will pay estate agents fees for buyers who are selling a house, as well as assisting with the house selling process.

Street scene of Redrow's Heritage Collection

Meanwhile, Redrow has just launched its fourth Hampshire development, Cromwell Court, a new community of 100 homes located on the fringe of the picturesque village of Old Basing in Basingstoke.

As part of the initial launch, several homes are available to buy, including the ‘Henley’, ‘Oxford Lifestyle’, ‘Letchworth’, ‘Leamington’ and ‘Harrogate’ house types. These are part of the housebuilder’s Heritage Collection, ranging in size from two- to four-bedrooms. Inspired by the Arts & Crafts architectural movement of the 1930s, Heritage Collection houses boast intricately designed red or yellow brick exteriors, with traditional features such as gable-ended roofs. Meanwhile, interiors are spacious, bright and modern, designed for open-plan living downstairs, paired with spacious bedrooms and the flexibility to add a home office or garden room.

Alongside the new homes, the site will feature over 15,000sqm (3.7 acres) of green open space, in the form of a sports area, informal play area and a Site of Nature Conservation Interest.

The new community is walking distance from Basingstoke town centre filled with a variety of shops and restaurants. Residents will also benefit from Basingstoke’s connectivity, with trains to Southampton taking as little as 27 minutes, London Waterloo from 47 minutes and Birmingham from one hour and 30 minutes.

Mark Vanson, sales director at Redrow Southern Counties, commented: “Cromwell Court’s location provides the perfect balance of idyllic Hampshire countryside living alongside easy access to buzzy high-streets and excellent transport links to the city. The development will feature a whole range of homes, ideal for families in search for a tranquil, friendly community or those looking to ‘right-size’. Our sales team looks forward to showcasing the range of amenities Cromwell Court has to offer for potential buyers.”

Prices start from £449,950 and interested buyers can initially find out more about the homes available by visiting Orchids Place, Redrow’s nearby development in Warfield, ahead of a Customer Experience Suite and set of show homes launching on site at Cromwell Court later in the year.
