Stunning lakeside development opens in Alton

Set in the heart of Jane Austen country in the picturesque market town of Alton in Hampshire, Barratt’s new Lakeside development boasts a unique location and stunning views.

Pervaneh Parnell, Barratt’s on-site sales negotiator commented: “The site is spectacular as the homes are being built into the hillside and many will offer fabulous views over Kings Pond and the local countryside. We have a CD of the views, and potential buyers can request one from the sales office.

“The area was once home to Jane Austen, one of England’s best loved writers, and Lakeside has a lovely rural feel, but it is also within walking distance of the town and all its amenities,” she continued. “We’re situated close to the A31 and there are easy links to the cities of Winchester, Portsmouth and Southampton.”

When complete, Lakeside will offer 30 three and four-bedroom semi-detached town houses and two-bedroom apartments. Properties are available to buy off plan now at pre-show home prices and are already selling fast.

The three-bedroom Hillfoot style houses are being built on the first level of the development. These offer a lower ground floor lounge/dining room, kitchen, utility room, cloakroom and veranda. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor and an en-suite bedroom with dressing area on the first floor.

The next level will house The Kings Lodge, a selection of two-bedroom apartments. The interiors comprise a kitchen, lounge/dining room, en-suite cloakroom, en-suite bathroom and separate cloakroom. All apartments come with terraces and parking spaces.

The Hillside selection of four-bedroom town houses will be built on the top level of the development. These offer a kitchen/breakfast area, utility room, cloakroom and garage on the lower ground floor; a lounge, bathroom, bedroom and bedroom/study on the ground floor and two en-suite bedrooms on the first floor.

The homes are currently selling at pre-show home prices – starting from £244,995 for the two-bedroom apartments to £373,995 for the three-bedroom town houses and £408,500 for the four-bedroom town houses. Financial incentives include five per cent deposit paid on the apartments.

Lakeside is located just under a mile from the centre of the old market town of Alton and the surrounding area is renowned for its rolling green hills, ancient forests and tranquil villages. Local attractions include Alton Abbey, Hollycombe Steam in the Country Park and Coors Brewery.
