Cromwell Court, Old Basing

Development Overview

Cromwell Court is a new build residential development by five-star housebuilder Redrow Homes, situated on Basing Road in the historic and picturesque village of Old Basing, Basingstoke, Hampshire (RG24 7AL). The development comprises a total of 100 new homes, specifically designed from Redrow's 'Heritage Collection,' inspired by the Arts & Crafts architectural movement of the 1930s. The property mix includes 2, 3, and 4-bedroom house types, focusing on modern living within a traditional aesthetic, featuring intricately designed red or yellow brick exteriors and gable-ended roofs. The initial launch prices started from £449,950 for the smaller properties. The development successfully reached completion in late 2024, with all carpentry and site works concluded, and is now confirmed as sold out/closed, meaning availability is limited to potential resales or final unreserved plots.
