Bewley Homes has announced it has completed the purchase of a site in Oakley which has outline planning consent for 48 dwellings.

It is thought 40 per cent will be made up by affordable homes and these will be developed in partnership with Wates Residential Developments.

Forming part of Bewley Homes’ new Garden Village Housing Collection, the site will comprise a mixture of properties, ranging in size between 775 sq ft and 1,900 sq ft.

The development also includes a communal play and kickabout area at the heart of the scheme.

Andrew Brooks, managing director of Bewley Homes, said: “Bewley Homes has enjoyed a long standing relationship with the picturesque village of Oakley and this will be our fourth development in the village.

"Oakley benefits from a pub, tennis club, shop and local schools and represents the very best of English village life.

"Additionally, its close proximity to the amenities and transport facilities of Basingstoke, being only 4.5 miles away, will help make our development of mixed house sizes, highly desirable for those who need good road and rail links to central London and the South.

“At Bewley Homes we take great pride in the quality of construction and craftsmanship, as well as the aesthetic detailing of our homes and feel that our development at Oakley will be helping to fulfil the much-needed requirement for new homes in this thriving area and, indeed, is continued reinforcement of our commitment to providing high quality homes to local communities.”
