Work on Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties’ Alresford Down housing estate in Alresford is due to start at the end of this year.

The development will comprise 302 homes, with 40 per cent of the properties being classed as affordable housing.

There will be two, three, four and five-bedroom houses plus one and two-bedroom flats, which the company says is “designed to provide a range of options for first-time buyers and growing families”.

The first show homes are expected to be ready in the spring of 2025, giving potential buyers a chance to see what they will be getting for their money.

Sales and marketing director Roz Wells said: “We are delighted to be launching our Alresford Down development and look forward to welcoming prospective homeowners at the end of this year.

“The development will not only provide residents from around the area with a great selection of homes, but also a brand-new and family-focused community.

“We look forward to meeting potential new customers and we’d urge anyone interested in the new homes to register their interest on our website.”

The development will feature approximately 16 hectares of public open space connected to existing parkland to create green areas for the new community.

Alresford Down will be built on the edge of Alresford, “a short walk” from the Co-op, cafés, the Arle Valley Trail and the heritage steam trains of the Watercress Line.
