Pennyfarthing Homes is pleased to announce the launch of an exceptional collection of new apartments at Oakwood Grove, available through the Government backed First Homes scheme now available through Dorset Council . With one- and two-bedroom apartments being released on the 15th, 16th and 17th of November, prospective buyers will have the opportunity to explore the plans and secure these remarkable homes, designed to kick start a new community and provide a truly aspirational lifestyle with an affordable price tag.
Nestled in the picturesque rural setting of Alderholt, Dorset, Oakwood Grove combines modern elegance with the charm of countryside living. These First Homes apartments, set for completion in early summer 2025, are available to essential workers at a 30% discount off market value, offering an invaluable opportunity for them to take their first step on the property ladder.
Under the First Homes scheme, selected homes at Oakwood Grove are available at almost a third off the market price, making home ownership far more affordable. Buyers will be supported through the application process and after approval, a dedicated sales advisor from Pennyfarthing Homes will guide buyers through the final stages of the journey. With a limited number of homes available, the First Homes scheme presents a unique opportunity for many to secure a beautiful and affordable home and start an exciting new chapter.
These charming new homes at Oakwood Grove are high-quality and ideal for modern living, with flexible and adaptable spaces. Each home boasts either one or two bedrooms and a spacious open-plan kitchen and living area, which is ideal for entertaining and spending time with loved ones. Built in a terraced style, all apartments have a modern and smart exterior, blending traditional red brick with sophisticated grey weatherboarding. A selection of ground floor apartments will also benefit from having their own front door.
Every home also meets the latest environmental standards and will benefit from heating provided via and air source heat pump cylinder. Each apartment benefits from allocated parking with EV charging points fitted to posts in parking bays or wall mounted in car ports. With Oakwood Grove, Pennyfarthing Homes has created a thoughtfully-designed and contemporary development that delivers on sustainability and helps pave the way towards a greener future.
What’s more, this neighbourhood is surrounded by wonderful countryside, and Pennyfarthing Homes has created a designated SANG (Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace), consisting of woodland paths that will connect with existing paths on the northern edge of Alderholt. Oakwood Grove will benefit from beautiful landscaping, and a play area for children is being created to bring the younger community together.
Hidden away in the heart of East Dorset, Alderholt is a spacious and quaint village in a prime location, just a short distance from the renowned New Forest National Park. Providing residents with the perfect balance of countryside and coast, Alderholt is just a 30-minute drive away from the historic and bustling town of Salisbury and is also within easy reach of the stunning coastline surrounding Bournemouth, at just a 25-minute drive away.
In addition, residents of Oakwood Grove will benefit from the amenities of the village, such as a convenience store, pub, vet and garden centre. Alderholt Recreation Ground also has a range of facilities including a children’s play area, a multi-use sports court, a youth shelter, tennis courts, sports pitches and a sports and social club. The nearest town is the popular market town of Fordingbridge, which is only three miles west of Alderholt. Fordingbridge is known as the ‘Northern Gateway to the New Forest’ and provides a further selection of shops, services and recreational opportunities.
