Crookham Village: Houses With Garages and Gardens on the Edge of an Ancient Copse

Key details

About this property

The address is Hitches Lane, Crookham Village, in Hampshire's Hart district, under two miles from Fleet and its mainline station, from which the direct train reaches London Waterloo in forty minutes. The estate is edged with native trees and wraps an ancient copse, with green paths, play areas and an eighty two acre country park alongside it, and it has its own community centre. Hart has been named the best place to be born in the United Kingdom by a national newspaper, which is the sort of claim that actually moves family buyers in this part of Hampshire. Six plots are available. Three bedroom houses come in two types: a semi detached of 1,253 square feet, 116 square metres, at 675,000 pounds with a garage and two parking spaces, and a detached of 1,278 square feet, 119 square metres, at 680,000 with a garage and one space. Four bedroom houses are 1,577 square feet, 147 square metres, detached, at 865,000 with a garage and two parking spaces. Gardens run from 5.3 by 9.2 metres up to 8.9 by 9 metres and the estate charge runs 421.86 to 530.94 pounds a year by house type. Handover dates are set plot by plot between December 2026 and May 2027. These are the later homes of the estate and they hand over between December 2026 and May 2027, which is the practical difference from the finished collection next door. The three bedroom types are 1,253 and 1,278 square feet, semi detached and detached, each with a garage and one or two parking spaces and gardens from 5.3 by 9.2 up to 7 by 10.3 metres. The four bedroom is 1,577 square feet, detached, with a garage and two parking spaces. Every home has two bathrooms and its own garden, and parking is included in the price. Ownership is freehold. Because these are off plan, the exchange deposit is fifteen per cent rather than the ten per cent on a finished home, payable within twenty eight days, with a reservation fee of 2,500 pounds under half a million or 5,000 above it and the balance on completion. The estate charge runs 421.86 to 530.94 pounds a year depending on the house type. The rental estimates on the list are 2,150 to 3,250 pounds a month, which puts gross yields at 3.7 to 4.5 per cent, so this is a family purchase rather than a yield play: sell the garden, the schools and the forty minute train, not the return.
