Bargate Homes has opened the doors to its £18.2million St Thomas’ Mead development, located in the scenic suburb of Old Bedhampton, Hampshire. Over 50% of the 50 eco-efficient homes have already sold off-plan.
St Thomas’ Mead comprises a collection of two-, three- and four-bedroom houses, as well as a bungalow and chalet bungalows, with designs that are ideal for first-time buyers, growing families, and downsizers. The homes are constructed to EPC-B standards, enabling purchasers to benefit from Green Mortgage rates. Surrounded by open green spaces, the natural setting of the grounds has been enhanced by new tree planting, landscaping, and environmental benefits to improve biodiversity.
To coincide with the first tranche of homes being ready for occupation, a four-bedroom detached show home, styled by Bargate Homes and The Garden Society, has been unveiled.
Mark White, managing director of Bargate Homes, said: “The location of St Thomas’ Mead is very special, and it would be a struggle to find another opportunity quite like this within the new homes market. The site has a tranquil, rural feel, featuring a community orchard and gardens, children’s allotment, and twin ponds, but also benefits from fast travel links to nearby Portsmouth, Brighton, and London. With a range of waterside and heritage attractions only a short distance from the site, it’s easy to see why this new development is so popular with buyers.”
“The picture-postcard styling of the houses in Old Bedhampton has enabled St Thomas’ Mead to become one of the most beautiful new developments Bargate Homes has ever delivered. The varied street scene includes herringbone brickwork, part-rendered elevations, and buttress walls. We feel very privileged to be developing this exemplary site and look forward to welcoming more new residents in the coming weeks and months.”
In line with Bargate Homes’ carbon-reduction strategy, the high internal and external specification of the homes exceeds Building Regulations. Creature comforts such as underfloor heating, stylish kitchens and bathrooms, and a choice of quality flooring options are included as standard. The Home Builders Federation recently reported that buyers of a newly-built home save on average around £2,600 in annual energy bills – a figure that is set to rise when the Energy Price Guarantee changes.
Bargate Homes is currently delivering 900 homes across six live developments and has a pipeline of future sites expected to deliver in excess of 2,500 new homes.
