Combining St Edward’s renowned design and excellent investment potential with an English countryside setting just 34 minutes by train to London, Hartland Village in Hampshire has recently just launched in the G.C.C with Downtown International.

The new village will comprise a stunning collection of new houses and apartments, intertwined with an abundance of green open space, a magnificent 70-acre country park and a new primary school. It offers easy access to the capital by train and car, and to some of South East England’s finest educational establishments.

Hartland Village offers an outstanding investment opportunity to buyers. The district of Hart, where the development is located, has been named the best place to live in the UK in five of the past six years, yet the average property in the district costs 56% less than in Wandsworth, London, according to research by Knight Frank*. Apartments at Hartland Village – priced from just £249,950 for a one bedroom home - offer an average gross yield of 4.2% while houses, prices from £499,950, offer 3%.

Martin Ashkuri, Chief Executive Officer at Sales Agent Downtown International, comments: “London and England remain popular choices for buyers. We’re finding that people are looking for large family spaces at comparatively low prices – this means they are looking beyond central London for alternatives in the UK. Hartland Village, thanks to its location and growth potential, really fits the bill.”

Lakeside is the first phase of homes, which provides a superb mix of one and two-bedroom apartments and three, four and five-bedroom houses. A traditionally-inspired humped-back bridge will lead residents over a feature lake; an impressive and idyllic entrance. A village centre will sit at the heart of the development, accommodating healthcare, fitness and wellbeing facilities as well as everyday essentials. The 28 acres of open space within Hartland Village will include a village green, play areas and linear park, and trails and pathways linking the development to the new country park.

Paul Vallone, Executive Chairman, St Edward, comments: “We are incredibly excited to have launched Hartland Village and all it has to offer. This really is an exceptional new destination, with a new 70 acre country park, primary school and village centre with public amenities to help build a thriving and sustainable community. Whether for an investment or a home in which to live, we are creating homes  of excellent quality in an outstanding natural setting, less than 40 minutes from central London, the transformation from an unused brownfield site to thriving new community will be exceptional.”

Hartland Village will provide public amenities, abundant green space, as well as the ideal facilities to build a thriving and sustainable new community. The lifestyle on offer means this isn’t just a place – it’s a village, and a home, for life.”

Schools in the immediate area include St Nicholas’ School, Salesian College and Farnborough Hill School for Girls, while the University of Surrey and the varied, highly-respected universities of London are all within easy reach.

Hartland Village is located just nine minutes by car to Fleet or Farnborough Main train stations, where services into London Waterloo take from 40 minutes and 34 minutes respectively. Trains from Farnborough North station, an 11-minute car journey away, travel to Reading and Gatwick Airport. Destinations nearby include the historic towns of Farnham and Guildford, as well as the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
