Investing in the future at Annington Point
House hunters looking to purchase a home which not only fulfils their family’s requirements but could also provide a sound investment for the future need look no further than Annington Point in Rowner, Hampshire.
Annington Point forms a crucial part of the extensive regeneration of Rowner and the surrounding area, plans for which will also see the creation of brand new community facilities, retail outlets and landscaped communal squares. Annington has transformed the selection of two-bedroom maisonettes together with three and four-bedroom houses on both the inside and out, to include architect designed exteriors, brand new fixtures and fittings and new internal layouts to suit modern living.
Areas of regeneration are a good place to start when looking for a home; according to figures from IPD and Savills’ Regeneration Indices Report, buyers who are able to spot opportunities in such areas can reap rewards over the longer term. The research found that a pattern of underperformance during a downturn, and outperformance when the wider property market begins to perform well is emerging.
Furthermore, overall sold prices in the Borough of Gosport (where Rowner is located) were up 6% over the last 12 months on the previous year, and up 5% on the 2007 level of £152,654 according to Rightmove’s House Price Index, making Annington Point a good neighbourhood in which to purchase.
A range of happy buyers have already benefited from the regeneration of the area by purchasing a home at Annington Point, with over 80 per cent of the properties already reserved despite the homes only being launched onto the market six months ago.

There is a lovely community atmosphere, and the open green spaces dotted between the houses make the development feel really calm and peaceful. I was immediately struck by the quality of the houses – they look like an architect has designed them and they are really nicely decorated inside.”
