Family-owned housebuilder, Pennyfarthing Homes is building on its incredible placemaking success in Fordingbridge, the vibrant market town that is otherwise known as 'The Gateway to the New Forest'. Hawthorn Place, a new and exclusive collection of beautiful new homes, is part of Pennyfarthing's wider Forde Valley development in Fordingbridge, which has already seen the community of Whitsbury Green impress a range of prospective homeowners.

Significantly, Hawthorn Place will provide many affordable routes to homeownership, with six First Homes available for local first-time buyers and key workers, along with 106 affordable homes delivered by VIVID through shared ownership and affordable rent. Prospective homebuyers are invited to a First Homes Information Day on the 5th and 6th of September at Bashley Village Hall in Bashley, Hampshire to discover how you could own a new home with a remarkable 30% saving on the overall price*[1].

From 2pm to 7pm on Friday 5th, and 10am to 4pm on Saturday 6th, the Pennyfarthing team will be delighted to guide you through the details and straight-forward process of the First Homes scheme.

The First Homes available at Hawthorn Place will be the Harwood and the Harleigh house types, a selection of mid-terrace and end of terrace homes, built in a traditional red-brick style. Comprising two bedrooms, living/dining area, kitchen and one bathroom, the homes present a high-quality finish throughout and come with allocated parking.

Sheetal Smith, Sales and Marketing Director at Pennyfarthing Homes comments: “We're so excited to be bringing Hawthorn Place to our wider Forde Valley development in Fordingbridge, following the success of Whitsbury Green. We're passionate about doing whatever we can to bring much-needed housing to local people, we look forward to meeting the local community at our event who are looking to purchase their first home, and for those who more than anything hope to remain in the area that they love. We can help to make this dream a reality, which is very rewarding for the Pennyfarthing team.”

Tristan Samuels, Group Development and New Business Director at VIVID, adds: “We're committed to building homes that give people a real foundation for a brighter future. Our partnership with Pennyfarthing Homes is helping us do just that - bringing high-quality, affordable homes to communities where they're needed most. We're looking forward to welcoming customers and supporting them as they settle into a place they can truly call home.”

Set for completion in Winter 2025, Hawthorn Place is a vibrant new community of modern, energy-efficient homes that blend timeless red-brick charm with contemporary design. Ideally located just minutes from the popular rural town of Fordingbridge; home to excellent schools, a lively high street, and a wide range of local amenities, Hawthorn Place offers a perfect balance of countryside living and everyday convenience.

Nestled on the edge of the New Forest, the development is surrounded by natural beauty and open green spaces. Thoughtfully planned with sustainability and quality of life in mind, the neighbourhood features play areas, walking and cycling paths, and safe, easy connections to the town centre.

Combining the best of rural living with outstanding connectivity, Hawthorn Place offers excellent transport links to both coast and countryside. With direct access to major roads, the historic city of Salisbury and the popular seaside town of Bournemouth are just 25 and 30 minutes away by car.
