Development Overview

Hounsome Fields is a residential new build homes development by Bovis Homes, part of the Vistry Group, located on Maize Lane in Basingstoke, Hampshire (RG23 7QQ). The development is situated on the outskirts of Basingstoke, offering a balance of countryside proximity and immediate access to major transport infrastructure. The final phase of properties consists primarily of three and four-bedroom houses, with some previous availability for five-bedroom homes. Bovis Homes has been independently verified as an HBF 2024 5-Star Housebuilder and an NHBC Award Winning Site (2023 & 2024), reflecting a commitment to build standards and customer satisfaction. The development also features 3- and 4-bedroom Shared Ownership options through SNG (Sovereign Network Group).

Property Details

Properties at Hounsome Fields are designed for family living, focusing on energy efficiency which can result in potential savings of up to 64% on heating bills compared to older housing stock. Available house types, which include designs such as 'The Juniper' and 'The Spruce', are spacious new build houses built to contemporary specifications. Purchasers benefit from a 10-year NHBC 'Buildmark' warranty and a 2-year customer care guarantee. These new build houses are typically detached properties, though prospective buyers should contact the developer for the exact configuration and features of the final plots.
