New homes in Basingstoke are just a hop, skip and a jump away

One of this week’s best bargains has to be the two bedroom apartment at Bellway’s Skippetts Gardens in Basingstoke which the housebuilder is offering for just £159,950 – that’s £10,000 less than the original asking price.

Skippetts Gardens comprise 112 stylishly designed one and two bedroom apartments and two-, three- and four-bedroom houses offering a charming and quiet location which is still within easy reach of all the amenities of Basingstoke town centre.

Sandra Barton, Sales Director at Bellway Wessex, said: “Skippetts Gardens is set in a sought-after, quiet location, backing onto woodland and positioned next door to Skippetts House. The development is very desirable with a wide range of house styles to suit everyone – and the lucky buyer of our Home of the Week will certainly be getting a stylish up-scale home at a decidedly down-scale price.”

Central Basingstoke has shops galore for discerning followers of fashion. There’s also a weekly farmers market full of products from local growers as well as a numerous big name supermarkets.

Shopping isn’t the only thing that Basingstoke has to offer: The Anvil is a renowned live music venue and in addition there is the town's Haymarket Theatre, two cinemas, an ice rink and numerous bars, restaurants and night clubs.

There is also a sports centre, Eastrop Park with a number of outdoor facilities, golf courses and the Basingstoke canal, perfect for walks.

At Skippetts Gardens you could not be better connected with the M3 nearby linking to London, Southampton and the South Coast, while the A33 leads to the M4. Trains from Basingstoke station offer direct services into London Waterloo and Paddington with journey times under 1 hour.
