Pennyfarthing Homes Launches Oakwood Grove In Alderholt

Pennyfarthing Homes has unveiled an exceptional collection of one- and two-bedroom apartments at Oakwood Grove, a modern development offering affordable homes through the Government-backed First Homes scheme, now available via Dorset Council.

Located in the scenic rural village of Alderholt, Oakwood Grove provides the perfect blend of countryside charm and contemporary living. These apartments are available at a 30% discount off market value for essential workers, making homeownership significantly more accessible. Designed to foster a vibrant new community, the homes aim to offer an aspirational lifestyle at an affordable price.

Set for completion in early summer 2025, the First Homes scheme presents a unique opportunity for first-time buyers to secure a foothold on the property ladder. Pennyfarthing Homes will support buyers through the application process, with dedicated sales advisors available to guide them through the final steps.

The apartments at Oakwood Grove feature flexible layouts ideal for contemporary lifestyles. Each home boasts an open-plan kitchen and living area, perfect for hosting gatherings or spending quality time with family. Available in one- and two-bedroom configurations, some ground-floor apartments include their own front doors, enhancing privacy and convenience.

The exterior design combines traditional red brickwork with modern grey weatherboarding, creating a sophisticated terraced aesthetic. Sustainability is central to the development, with air-source heat pump cylinders providing efficient heating and EV charging points installed in parking areas. These features meet the latest environmental standards, paving the way for greener living.

Nestled in a prime East Dorset location, Oakwood Grove is surrounded by picturesque countryside and offers easy access to the renowned New Forest National Park, just a short drive away. The bustling city of Salisbury is 30 minutes away, while Bournemouth's stunning coastline can be reached in 25 minutes, providing residents with a perfect balance of rural tranquility and urban convenience.

The development includes a Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG) with woodland trails connecting to existing paths in Alderholt, encouraging outdoor exploration. A landscaped play area is also being created, fostering a sense of community for families with young children.
