A fresh crop of stunning new homes has been given the go-ahead at Taylor Wimpey’s popular Strawberry Fields development in Southampton.

The first phase of this exciting new community is delivering a collection of 49 two, three and four-bedroom properties, and the next phase of 206 houses and apartments has now been granted planning permission.

This new range of homes will comprise a mix of one to four-bedroom homes, and construction is due to begin in October.

Fiona Creed, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Our new homes at Strawberry Fields have been a huge hit with Hampshire homebuyers looking for their perfect property in an enviable setting close to the coast.

“We’re anticipating high levels of interest in the second phase of this in-demand development, so I’d encourage anyone who hopes to secure one of our forthcoming homes to watch this space!”

There’s a fabulous range of properties currently available to buy at Strawberry Fields, including two-bedroom coach house-style apartments priced from just £190,000 and four-bedroom houses from as little as £305,000.

The four-bedroom ‘Paxton’ detached house, for example, is priced from £400,000 and boasts a spacious living room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, with a kitchen/dining room and a guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the landing leads to an en-suite master bedroom with a dressing area, three further bedrooms and a main bathroom, while there’s an integral garage and driveway parking for two cars outside.

The new homes at Strawberry Fields enjoy a peaceful cul-de-sac location on the edge of Locks Heath, on a site formerly used for strawberry growing, a key industry in the area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The new homes are nestled between an established residential area and fields leading down to the banks of the tidal River Hamble, with its pretty marinas and tranquil shoreline walk along to Southampton Water.

Within walking distance is the Lockswood Centre, with a host of amenities for day-to-day living, including shops, a library, a medical centre and a community centre, while the charming village of Warsash is also close by.

Families will appreciate there’s a good choice of schools for children of all ages within easy reach of Strawberry Fields. Locks Heath Infant and Junior Schools are both a short walk away and were both rated ‘outstanding’ at their most recent inspections by Ofsted, while Brookfield Community School for secondary age pupils is ‘good’ and lies right on the doorstep.

For commuters, the M27 is just a short drive away, for quick links into Southampton and the M3 for further afield, while nearby Swanwick railway station provides direct services to Southampton, Portsmouth Harbour and London Victoria.
