Homebuyers looking for their perfect property in Southampton can now choose from a superb selection of high-quality homes now on sale at Taylor Wimpey’s brand new Strawberry Fields development in Locks Heath.

This eagerly-awaited collection of just 49 traditional two, three and four-bedroom homes forms the exciting first phase of a brand new development on the site of a former strawberry nursery, with a host of day-to-day amenities within easy reach.

The new homes at Strawberry Fields combine generous living space with high-quality design and offer superb value for money, with a choice of properties to suit a range of purchasers, including executive families, young professionals, investors and first-time buyers.

Fiona Creed, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “We are delighted to unveil the first selection of new homes for sale at Strawberry Fields, which is already generating a great deal of interest from savvy buyers.

“By acting now, home-hunters can be among the first to choose their favourite plot from this wonderful collection – and make sure someone else doesn’t beat them to it!

“What’s more, by reserving off-plan, they can ensure their property is completed to their personal specifications before they have even been handed the keys, by choosing from our fantastic range of interior Options.”

One of the first new homes now available to reserve off-plan at Strawberry Fields is the three-bedroom ‘Gosford’, priced from as little as £265,000.

This stylish semi-detached property boasts a contemporary fitted kitchen/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, while a generous living room and handy guest cloakroom complete the ground-floor layout.

Upstairs, the landing leads to a spacious en-suite bedroom, two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a main bathroom, while a carport and an additional parking space can be found outside.

The Government’s new Help to Buy scheme is available at Strawberry Fields, enabling first-time buyers and those looking to move on from an existing property to purchase their new home for 80% of its full price, including a deposit as low as 5%.

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.
