Those seeking the closeknit community of a traditional market town, without having to compromise on the convenience of a modern, high-specification home with an energy-efficient specification, will find an exciting opportunity at Wisteria Gate in leafy Romsey just north of Southampton.

Delivered by Croudace Homes, this boutique development comprises a collection of elegant, Georgian-inspired three, four and five-bedroom family houses. Wisteria Gate offers a range of elegant house types to suit all lifestyles, whether buyers are looking for contemporary open-plan living, the flexibility of a home set across three storeys, or a more traditional layout.

Every resident will benefit from light and airy living spaces and a private rear garden, with fitted wardrobes or a walk-in dressing space to all the principal bedrooms.

The development’s biodiverse landscape-led setting provides a green and peaceful environment that protects natural habitats and includes new trees and planting, as well as a picturesque wildlife pond. A series of wildlife boxes will be installed across the development, for butterflies, bees, hedgehogs and swifts. Soft landscaping in the new children’s play area will provide sensory stimulation through a variety of colour, texture, and scent.

Purchasing a newly-built home can help keep household bills and carbon emissions low; Home Builders Federation (HBF) research shows residents of new properties save an average of £2,600 every year. Every home at Wisteria Gate offers a B rating for energy efficiency, outperforming most flats and houses in England.

A nearby Co-op caters for daily needs, while a nursery provides convenience for families. A popular café and takeaway options are located within a few minutes’ walk. The market town of Romsey provides an array of local independent boutiques and brands alongside well-known high street brands. The nearby sports ground provides recreational space, while the newly enhanced Abbotswood Nature Reserve provides 19 hectares of natural habitats to explore.
