The development is nearing completion, with the final phase of properties now available for purchase. The site comprises a mix of property types designed for modern family living, ranging from two-bedroom houses, to larger three-, four-, and five-bedroom homes. Current market listings indicate a pricing structure starting from approximately £445,000 for a three-bedroom property, with five-bedroom detached homes, such as 'The Lime' or 'The Delphinium,' listed up to the £885,000 range. Buyers can enquire about available incentives, which have historically included Stamp Duty contributions, Smooth Move schemes, or Home Exchange options on selected plots.

Property Details

Properties at Albany Park are constructed with an emphasis on energy efficiency, generally achieving an indicative EPC B rating, and come with the assurance of a 10-year NHBC 'Buildmark' warranty and a 2-year customer care guarantee. Specific house styles available include 'The Cosmos,' a four-bedroom home often featuring a single garage and three parking spaces, and 'The Chestnut,' a four-bedroom semi-detached option. Internal specifications typically incorporate open-plan kitchen and dining areas, separate utility rooms, and ground floor studies for remote working. The larger four- and five-bedroom detached homes offer en-suite facilities to the main bedroom, while many living rooms feature French doors providing direct access to the garden. Certain properties benefit from advanced features such as Solar Panels and Wastewater Heat Recovery systems, contributing to lower running costs.

Location Benefits

Albany Park benefits from a semi-rural setting within the desirable Hart District, while maintaining excellent commuter links. Fleet Train Station is easily accessible, providing mainline South Western Railway services with direct journey times to London Waterloo in just under an hour. Major road connections include quick access to the A31 and M3 motorway, facilitating travel towards London, Southampton, and Reading. Local bus networks offer routes connecting Church Crookham to neighbouring towns. The development is surrounded by 25 acres of woodland and green open space, complemented by a new 40-acre country park, and is close to the Basingstoke Canal and Fleet Pond Nature Reserve for outdoor pursuits. Essential local amenities include a Co-operative supermarket and post office in Church Crookham, with the comprehensive shops, restaurants, and Hart Leisure Centre in Fleet town centre just a short drive away. Reputable educational institutions nearby include Church Crookham Junior School and Court Moor Secondary School, alongside the independent St Nicholas' School.

Practical Information

Linden Homes, as a major national developer, provides the statutory 10-year structural warranty, though potential buyers should conduct independent due diligence, as historical customer satisfaction ratings from the HBF survey have been mixed. Prospective buyers are advised to contact the Linden Homes sales office directly at Albany Park for the most current price list, specific plot availability (including two-bedroom properties), and to arrange a viewing appointment. Buyers should also verify the freehold status, as an estimated estate management charge of approximately £253 per annum applies.
