Keith OsborneHampshire-headquartered Bargate Homes has launched the final phase of North Stoneham Park, where a new community of over 1,000 homes is being created on a former deer park on the outskirts of Eastleigh, Southampton. Bargate Homes’ £97million Heritage Place scheme will deliver 322 eco-focused family homes.
Heritage Place – its largest scheme to date – with a completed street scene and two fully furnished show homes. The first homes will be ready to move into before the end of this year. A range of three-, four- and five-bedroom semi-detached and detached homes are available in the first release, with prices ranging from £485,000 to £715,000.
The initially released six house designs all benefit from a garage, and have elevations in a variety of traditional red and buff brick. ‘The Oak’ is a three-bedroom detached home, offering 1,126 sq ft of living space, priced at £489,000, and ‘The Belvedere’ is a three-bedroom semi-detached design, which provides 1,133 sq ft and is priced at £485,000. ‘The Saxon’ is a four-bedroom detached home of 1,268 sq ft, priced at £545,000, while ‘The Acres’ is a four-bedroom semi-detached home of 1,357 sq ft, priced at £550,000. ‘The Lancelot’ and ‘The Vista’ are both five-bedroom detached homes, each offering 1,714 sq ft, and priced at £705,000 and £715,000 respectively.
All homes at Heritage Place will be EPC-B Rated, ensuring future residents can significantly lower their carbon footprint and benefit from energy savings. The bespoke kitchens feature integrated Neff cooking appliances. Bathrooms benefit from contemporary white Roca sanitaryware, with Porcelanosa floor and wall tiles. Google Nest learning thermostats, electric vehicle car chargers, and fibre broadband, are all installed as standard.
The two three-bedroom show homes at Heritage Place have been designed and fully furnished by Southampton-based The Garden Society, illustrating different interior themes, and both showcasing how the garden can become an extension of the living space, using decked areas, landscaping, planting, and outdoor furniture.
As part of its “purpose beyond profit” philosophy of giving back to the local areas they build in by way of community enhancement investment and support, the housebuilder has committed to a two-year partnership with Hampshire FA as Headline Sponsor of Stoneham Lane Football Complex, providing finds with which to support the facility’s running costs and maintenance, with surplus funds used to subsidise the installation of LED floodlights in the foreseeable future.
“We are delighted that Bargate Homes has chosen to opt for a two-year agreement with Hampshire FA for the Stoneham Lane Football Complex headline sponsorship,” said Neil Cassar, CEO of Hampshire FA, operators of the Complex. “The facility now has a partner compatible with its values and a sincere commitment to supporting the local community and additionally the grassroots community. Stoneham Lane Football Complex has achieved several milestones since the facility opened its doors and now exceeds over 60k registered members. The Bargate brand will be prominently displayed across the facility and will serve a proud place for the duration of this partnership and hopefully beyond.”
Andrew French, sales and marketing director at Bargate Homes said: “This is the kind of initiative we love to do, supporting grass roots football on the doorstep of our Heritage Place development. It's wonderful to think that the local community can walk to such an excellent facility to enjoy organised training and games.”
Mark White, managing director of Bargate Homes, said: “We are thrilled to unveil Heritage Place to the public for the first time. This £97m development has been in the planning and meticulous pre-construction stage for over two years, to ensure we deliver North Stoneham Park’s most eco-efficient homes, completing the final part of the jigsaw for this exceptional new community.
“Taking lessons learnt from previous phases, our family homes will feature garages, and there has been considerable design work regarding the elevation treatments and detailing. The 322 new Bargate Homes will enable local people to climb onto and up the property ladder, as well as attracting newcomers to this scenic, historic, and well-connected part of Hampshire. We are very much looking forward to welcoming the first residents to Heritage Place next month.”
The new development is one mile from Eastleigh town centre and two miles from Southampton Airport and Eastleigh railway station. There is a 77-minute regular service to London Waterloo. Trains to Southampton and Winchester take 11 minutes. The M3 and M23 are both close by, enabling fast travel across Hampshire and beyond.
