About Alresford Down

Development Overview

Alresford Down is a significant new build community by national housebuilder Taylor Wimpey, located on Sun Lane, New Alresford, Winchester, Hampshire, SO24 9UE. The development will feature 302 new homes, set around approximately 16 hectares (41.61 acres) of public open space, including parkland and walking trails, connecting to the Alre Valley Trail and the South Downs National Park. The masterplan incorporates distinct character areas, such as a Village Green and Parkland Edge, designed to complement the surrounding area. The overall development includes a mix of 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom homes, with 40% of the properties allocated as affordable housing.

Prices for the current phase of new build homes range from £575,000 to £825,000. The sales information centre and show homes are now open, with properties currently available for off-plan reservation.

Property Details

Alresford Down offers a diverse collection of two, three, four, and five-bedroom houses and apartments across approximately 13 house types, built by Taylor Wimpey. Specific house types available include the three-bedroom semi-detached 'The Owlton' (1,225 sq. ft.) from £575,000 and the four-bedroom 'The Bittesford' (1,236 sq. ft.) from £650,000, with larger five-bedroom detached homes available up to £825,000.

Standard specification across the new homes includes energy-efficient features such as air source heat pumps, EV charging points, and triple glazing, aimed at reducing energy consumption and lowering household running costs. Property layouts are designed for modern living, featuring contemporary fitted kitchens, generous living spaces, and en-suite shower rooms to main bedrooms on selected plots. Parking provision includes driveways, garages, and carports depending on the plot and house type, with some examples like 'The Owlton' providing a garage and part-covered driveway for two cars.

Location and Infrastructure

The development is strategically positioned approximately 7.1 miles from the historic city of Winchester. Road links are a key feature, with a new roundabout built on the A31 to provide the main vehicular access, directing new traffic away from smaller local roads and creating a direct link towards the M3 (for Southampton and London) and Alton.

Local bus services are considered excellent, with stops for routes such as the No. 64 (Winchester - Alton) and No. 67 (Winchester - Petersfield) within 400 metres of the site. The nearest mainline railway station, Micheldever, is approximately 7.9 miles away, offering services to London Waterloo.

Local amenities are a short walk away. New Alresford town centre, a Georgian market town, provides an array of independent retailers including Soles Butchers, CE Evans & Son, Loaf bakery, and Mange2 Deli, alongside a Co-op supermarket and Tesco Express. Dining and social venues include The Bell, Pulpo Negro, The Globe on the Lake, and Caracoli coffee shop. The Alresford heritage Watercress Line station is also nearby.

Local education is highly accessible, with Sun Hill Infant School and Sun Hill Junior School located approximately 0.2 miles from the site. The overall development plan includes a realignment of Sun Lane to facilitate potential expansion of the Sun Hill schools and the introduction of a safe pedestrian crossing and 'Park and Stride' facility.

Practical Information

The development launched with show homes (including the three-bedroom Byford and five-bedroom Felton) and a Sales Information Centre opening in October. Interested parties can visit the site by appointment or visit the current selling agent, Charters Estate Agents in Alresford, for initial enquiries.
