Basingstoke development proves best for Bargate

Such has been the success of our Basingstoke Chailey Court development, that just 28 days after we launched the scheme we’ve had our first exchange.
Probably one of the most successful schemes we’ve ever built the development on Winchester Road was only released to the public last month. That day we had 200 people queuing in the rain to view the show apartment and in just under two hours we’d sold all 23 apartments.
Among the purchasers were two members of our team – site manager Steve Gray, who’s building the homes, and construction director Andy Kirkpatrick.
Andy said: “This is the first development I’ve been responsible for at Bargate and I liked the homes so much I bought one! That doesn’t happen very often within the housebuilding industry.”

Bargate sows the seeds for a development with a difference

We’re currently undertaking a slightly different approach to development by creating an 11-acre community field in Allbrook bedecked with wild flowers, a lychgate and children’s wooden play area.
The natural countryside space is part of our Allbrook Meadow development in Pitmore Road and we’re really excited to see the results.
Through the traditional wooden lychgate will be a wildflower meadow sloping down to a small stream with a mown path for people to walk through. Adjacent to this will be a rustic, wooden play area for children as well as a short-mown kick about area for youngsters to play ball games.
Sales and Marketing Director Robert Lambie said: “Our ethos has always been to build quality homes in beautiful locations that crucially we will be proud of in years to come. That means treating each of our developments in a bespoke way and making sure we build in the context of our surrounds.
“Allbrook is a very special, countryside location and we want to enhance that whilst still providing much needed new homes. We have never created such a large area for a community before and we’re all excited about seeing the finished product.”
The first 10 homes to be released were all sold off plan. Phase two of the development – another 10 homes – will launch July 2015.
