Oaklands at Whiteley Meadows

Development Overview

Oaklands at Whiteley Meadows is a premium new build housing development by Countryside Homes, part of the Vistry Group, located on Whiteley Way, Whiteley, Hampshire, SO30 2DR. The scheme is part of a significant residential expansion in Whiteley, positioned centrally between the cities of Southampton and Portsmouth, both accessible within 10 miles. The development is largely complete, delivering a range of high-quality freehold houses. While new homes at Oaklands are now primarily reserved, the last available properties exemplify the development's specification, with a recent four-bedroom home listed at a sale price of £500,000. The broader Whiteley Meadows community, including sister brands, continues to offer 3, 4, and 5-bedroom homes from approximately £350,000.

Property Details

The homes at Oaklands feature a high specification as standard, backed by Countryside Homes' status as a 5-star housebuilder, a rating achieved from the Home Builders Federation (HBF) based on customer satisfaction. A typical four-bedroom house type, such as 'The Parwood', offers over 1,400 sq ft of intelligently designed living space. Layouts are suited to contemporary family living, featuring a dedicated ground-floor study ideal for remote working, a separate living room with French doors opening onto the garden, and an expansive, open-plan kitchen/dining room with an adjoining utility area. The homes are traditional masonry cavity construction with an indicative B-grade Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating for higher energy efficiency. Principal bedrooms often include a private en-suite bathroom, and all properties benefit from a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty. Maintenance is managed through an estimated annual estate charge of £171 (to be confirmed with the developer).
