Residential Areas
Over time, Basingstoke's expansion has absorbed many smaller villages. Many of these estates are designed as almost self-contained communities, such as Lychpit, Chineham, Popley, Winklebury, Oakridge, Kempshott, Brighton Hill, South Ham, Black Dam and Hatch Warren.
If you are seeking the country life, the villages of Cliddesden, Dummer, Sherborne and Oakley can provide the charm of village greens and traditional pubs while being a reasonable distance from the town centre. Popley, Hatch Warren and Beggarwood are seeing rapid growth in housing with affordable options for the first-time buyer.
