• Bargate awards Liam Tobin and Dan Knight for best health & safety

    At Bargate Homes we care. We strive to do the right thing and delight the buyers of our beautiful homes. This is the driving force behind our brand. We don’t just care about the end result; we care through the entire process. 

    Each month an external company named HCS Safety takes a visit to each of our developments to assess our health and safety and more recently our COVID-19 procedures. We take pride in our health and safety across all aspects of the business, it is imperative on a construction site to follow the guidelines set out by HSE Safety, the UK government agency responsible for the encouragement, regulation and enforcement of workplace health, safety and welfare. We follow the guidelines to ensure the safety of our employees, contractors and customers.  

    To acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our Site Managers we award the highest health and safety score across the year. For 2019/20 Liam Tobin, Site Manager and Dan Knight, Trainee Site Manager who have been working extremely hard on our development, Abbotswood located in Romsey, were the winners with an impressive overall score of 95%.

    All our Site Managers work incredibly hard to help Bargate Homes achieve high scores on a monthly basis. Fatalities have dropped dramatically over the last 25 years across the industry.

    Bargate Homes has now successfully built 75 developments in and around Hampshire since it was established in 2006. As a business, we collectively believe that we have to do more than just make money.

    A MARKET TOWN WITH A VILLAGE FEEL

    One of the most appealing features of Bishop’s Waltham is how much it feels like a quaint village when it’s actually quite a large, historic town. The area is obviously old, but it doesn’t feel tired. It’s traditional but never boring, quaint without being cutesy – it strikes an almost impossible balance.

    Bishop’s Waltham is at once blissfully quiet and full of vibrancy. Nature seems to blend into the architecture and streets. It feels timeless, like it’s always been there.

    But this gorgeous town is by no means a relic of the past – more a tribute to it. It’s a cosmopolitan, open-minded place that embraces the traditions of old with new-age thinking.

    Despite feeling so far off the beaten track, Bishop’s Waltham is extremely well connected – and not just by widespread ultrafast broadband. Major roads in and out of town point to the bustling metropolises of Southampton, Winchester, Portsmouth and beyond.

    LIFE IN BISHOP’S WALTHAM

    Living here is quite different from just visiting. Becoming part of the fabric of this beautiful town opens you up to the magic it holds, every day.

    You’ll never forget the first time you spot a deer while out on a morning walk. In fact, you’ll get to know the local flora and fauna on quite a personal level – the natural and human worlds just seem to mix together well out here. Gardens are always full of visitors; hedgehogs, starlings, robins – anywhere a juicy grub might be found. 

    Being able to call Bishop’s Waltham home is a wonderful feeling: if you’re ready to make your move, get in touch with us. Book a viewing of our new homes in Bishop’s Waltham or call 01489 619474 for more information.

  • 5 Reasons to Buy New Build Homes in Hampshire

    new build homes hampshire

    As a local Hampshire property developer, we know our area well. In fact, we love it here so much that we built our headquarters in the beautiful Hampshire village of Fair Oak. It keeps us close to our developments, local suppliers and our customers.

    There are so many reasons to live here that it’s hard to pick just a few – and buying new build homes in Hampshire is more attractive now than ever. We’ve put together our favourite things about living locally and the great advantages to buying new.

    THE NEW FOREST

    Sometimes, getting closer to nature can make you feel brand new. We love being close to the New Forest, one of the largest areas of open moorland, heath and wild woodland in England.

    The New Forest National Park covers over 70,000 acres across southwest Hampshire, pushing out into surrounding counties. It’s a truly beautiful place, brimming with variety and awe-inspiring sights. Discover ancient woods, open heathland and a world of wildlife – from owls to wild deer.

    Even though it feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle, the New Forest is amazingly easy to access by road, even if some of the local horses and cows occasionally decide to take a stroll down your route! It’s all part of the charm of this utterly unique part of Hampshire, where you’re almost guaranteed to see something new on every visit.

    Lots of Hampshire’s fresh local produce comes from New Forest growers, farmers and brewers, which means there are plenty of amazing places to eat and drink dotted around this beautiful landscape – and even more deliciousness to bring back home.

    EXPLORE HIDDEN GEMS

    Hampshire is a large county. Hubs include the port cities of Southampton, Portsmouth – and historic towns like Winchester and Alton. But it’s the little villages and market towns that we love – the places with no equal anywhere else.

    We build new homes in Bishops Waltham, Fair Oak, Romsey, Medstead and Overton – all places with charisma and that quintessential English village feel, where exploration is encouraged. These locations offer a totally different lifestyle, where you’ve got the time to enjoy more of the things that matter. Enjoy family adventures out exploring hidden gems and discovering brilliant walks and unique boutiques.

    On our own doorstep, we’ve got miles of country walks and beautiful parks. We’re also thrilled to be local to The Garden Society, one of our favourite places to shop, eat and feel inspired. 

    A WORLD OF FUN FOR FAMILIES

    For families with children, Hampshire has some of the best attractions in England. We’ve heard of families travelling from as far as Scotland to visit the famous Peppa Pig World at Paultons Park, a fun-filled day out that everyone can enjoy – including parents.

    The Mid Hants Railway’s Watercress Line runs with real steam engines, including Thomas the Tank Engine experience days; perfect for kids who love trains! Bargate’s head office is also local to Marwell Zoo in Fair Oak – home to giraffes, penguins and snow leopards.

    For great family days out, there’s so much to see and do in Hampshire and most of it is totally unique to our area; from Beaulieu Motor Museum to Winchester Science Centre and Planetarium, there’s an experience waiting for every kind of curiosity.

    BUYING NEW HAS GREAT ADVANTAGES

    Buying new build homes in Hampshire doesn’t just mean you get to live in a great location. 

    Unlike buying second hand, a new build home should come with everything you need, ready to go. You won’t have any major repairs to make, leaky roofing to deal with or broken down boilers to get fixed; plus, there’s no forward chain which means you could move into your new home sooner.

    We like to go a step further. Every Bargate home follows our guiding principles – which leads to our customers getting more. We specify premium features like utility areas, en-suite bathrooms and the latest kitchen appliances. We also give our customers space to grow and enjoy more from life; because that’s the Bargate way. We care.

    NOW’S A GREAT TIME TO MOVE

    One of the best reasons to buy new right now is the fact that it’s more accessible than ever, with Help to Buy for new homes and the Stamp Duty holiday in effect until the 31st of March 2021. We’re also offering Bargate Exchange on selected properties – letting you part exchange your current property for a dream new build home in Hampshire.

  • How Do I Find a New Housing Development in My Area?

    New build homes Deer Walk Bishop's Waltham Southampton Bargate Homes for sale

    Finding a new home can be such an exciting time – but it’s not always simple. If you’re asking yourself “how do I find a new housing development in my area?”, then you’re not alone; it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with the number of new developments out there.

    At Bargate, we’ve made the process as simple as possible for our customers – and with our tools, knowledge and brilliant range of new homes, we could help you find your ideal home in a picture-perfect location.

    USE BARGATE’S NEW HOME FINDER

    We’ve made it easier than ever to find a new development near you, with our Find Your Home property search. Not only can you use it to browse Bargate developments in your area, you can filter properties by type, number of bedrooms and price.

    It’s a handy way of finding your dream Bargate home – matching your ideal location with the features important to you. When you’re ready, our friendly team will be on hand to help you secure your dream home.

    LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

    Sometimes, new housing developments get a bad reputation. That’s because people expect to find them in less than ideal locations, with cheaply made houses that all look the same. Is it possible to avoid that mass-produced, cookie cutter feel that some new housing developments have?

    At Bargate, we wanted to get away from that completely – and so, from the very beginning, we decided to put our reputation on the locations in which we build.

    We only make our homes in places that we’d want to live in ourselves, making sure we consider all the details; like transport links, privacy, space and community. We’re proud of every new development we build – and it shows.

    NEW HOMES IN BISHOP’S WALTHAM

    When you’re house hunting, it can help to look a little further afield than your immediate area. New homes in rural locations are becoming increasingly popular – especially when they blend a rural lifestyle with great transport connections.

    We recently launched The Brick Station – our beautiful collection of new homes in Bishop’s Waltham. It’s typical of a Bargate development in that it’s not typical at all; every new development we create is totally unique.

    This idyllic location inspired us to create a natural, flowing street layout that matches the setting, with homes designed to add character and beauty to the area.

    Bishop’s Waltham has been crowned the best place to live in the UK quite a few times now, with a new endorsement for 2020 – and as far as locations go, it’s certainly one of our favourites. It’s well connected, with a classic village feel and an absolutely wonderful local community.

    Finding a new home in Bishop’s Waltham that balances the blend of rural living, excellent transport and modern conveniences is rare; but we’ve brought that vision to life at The Brick Station.

    LET’S HELP YOU FIND YOUR DREAM HOME

    We’re here to help you find the perfect new home for your lifestyle, in a beautiful location. 

    Plus, with Help to Buy for new homes and the Stamp Duty holiday in effect until the 31st of March 2021, it’s a great time to buy a new home.

  • New Homes In Rural Locations – The Best Of Both Worlds

    Brick home with tree views

    There has been a surge in demand for homes in rural locations, as more people look to move out of dense urban areas. Homebuyers still want to be close to the city, but have a desire for more space – with generous gardens, spacious interiors and a dedicated space to work remotely. The well-connected rural locations in and around Hampshire are becoming increasingly popular destinations.

    Today, new homes represent some of the best opportunities for buyers, with government incentives like Help to Buy and the Stamp Duty holiday making new homes an extremely attractive proposition.

    It’s no surprise that new homes in rural locations have become very popular indeed – but there’s even more to gain when you buy new in the countryside.

    A DIFFERENT PACE OF LIFE AND A SENSE OF COMMUNITY

    Rural living is worlds apart from the daily hustle and bustle of city life. Winding roads and beautiful misty mornings replace traffic jams and murky Underground stations. The tranquility and open space of the countryside slows life down to a more enjoyable speed, but that’s not to say life out here is boring!

    Rural locations give you more time to enjoy the world around you, to connect with nature and with your local community. Adventure awaits around every corner – and even when you think you’ve seen it all, nature will find a way to surprise you.

    Local shops and pubs are a far cry from the chains you’ll find in city centres, where seasonal variety goes hand in hand with locally produced food and goods. The locations we build in are just a short drive or walk from the conveniences you’ll love and use most often – with great access to places further afield when you need it.

    When Bargate chooses land to buy for our new homes in Hampshire, we consider travel, community and the rural experience in depth. Buying a new home in a rural location can still make commuting or a trip into town easy, thanks to considered placement in relation to road and rail networks. It means that our customers get the benefits of accessing the city without sacrificing the perks of life in the countryside.

    And then there’s the homes themselves.

    MORE TO LOVE, LESS TO FIX

    While a rustic cottage in the countryside might seem like a dream come true to some, others will turn their thoughts to the upkeep and maintenance of an older building. Leaks and cracks aren’t welcome at any time – but they’re especially unwelcome when you’re balancing a busy schedule with moving house.

    The rustic charm soon wears thin after dealing with an old broken down boiler, rattly single glazed windows and temperamental electrics!

    But can a new build home really compare?

    We believe that a new home should have the latest features and comforts – like a utility area, en-suite bathrooms and the latest premium kitchen appliances – but it should also feel warm and inviting; ready for life and built to last.

    It should feel as timeless and charming as the archetypal country cottage, with a design that echoes through the ages. That’s why we build our homes in a style that matches their local area, with classic architectural features.

    It really is the best of both worlds; modern design with classic styling, in a beautiful location. That’s the Bargate way. We care.

    There’s additional flexibility with financing and managing the property chain when you buy new, too – meaning your move to the country could be easier than you’d thought.

    MORE INCENTIVES TO MOVE

    With Help to Buy for new homes and the Stamp Duty holiday in effect until the 31st of March 2021, now’s a great time to buy a new home.

    We’re also offering Bargate Exchange on selected properties – letting you part exchange your current property for a dream rural home. We’ll help you to free yourself from the chain, and make your move to the country as seamless and stress-free as possible. No wonder customers have chosen Bargate to deliver their dream home.

    Looking to buy your first home?

    With many homes available with Help to Buy moving into your dream Bargate home could be possible sooner than you thought!

     

    Buying a new home has some distinct advantages. Not only do you get the peace of mind knowing that your first home is covered by an extensive 10-year housebuilders warranty, but you may also be able to gain access to new build specific mortgages which often offer better rates.

     

    New homes are built to modern standards and ours are built with Bargates impressive specification on top of that. Each home includes an en-suite bathroom and a dedicated utility area. Every home we build is done so to a standard that goes beyond what you need, and into what you dream of.

     

    There are lots of things that you will need to organise and arrange when buying a new home and doing it for the first time can be intimidating. We know this, and we have helped many buyers through this journey before. We are happy to share our experience with you to make sure you know exactly what is happening and what you need to be thinking about at every step.

  • We care.

    We care.

    Sticking to our word and enhancing the communities in which we build, we have been supporting the local Waltham Chase Village Hall. We have gifted 10 beautiful Vicaima doors for inside the hall which is used by many within the local area. The centre is used for pre-school, weddings, parties, meetings and theatrical productions and receives its funding from charitable donations. We also laid fresh slabs outside revitalising the area whilst making the bus stop a safer place to wait off the main road.

    Our stunning developments, Meon Green and Waltham Grange are based off Forest Road in Waltham Chase so we felt this was a fantastic opportunity to help the wider community.

  • New homes in Hedge end coming soon

Overlooking ancient woodland with direct links to the adjoining Manor Farm Country park where you can spend your time walking along the glorious banks of the River Hamble. With only a short drive to the M27 you will be well connected to nearby towns and cities including, Southampton, Fareham and Winchester.
