Life at Welborne: Where Every Day Feels Like a Walk in the Park

When we were invited to build a collection of homes at Welborne Garden Village, we knew immediately that this was an extraordinary project. Welborne isn't a housing development in the conventional sense, rather a vision twenty years in the making, a brand new Hampshire village designed around the way people actually want to live.

Located just north of Fareham and neighbouring the South Downs, Welborne is set to become one of the most complete and characterful new communities in the UK. And right now, you have the opportunity to be among the very first to call it home. Here's a closer look at the lifestyle that awaits you.

Cycle Paths & Pathways: A Place Built for People

One of the most refreshing things about Pye Homes at Welborne is that it has been masterplanned with people at the centre, rather than vehicles. Tree-lined streets with wide green verges lead to front gardens, echoing the enduring principles of the Garden Village movement. This isn't just aesthetically pleasing; it fundamentally changes how you experience daily life.

Incorporated into the very fabric of the village is a network of 12 miles of pedestrian and cycle routes, threading through neighbourhoods and connecting homes to parks, schools, shops and future workplaces. No home is more than 300 metres from publicly accessible green space, meaning a morning ride or evening stroll is never more than a few steps from your front door. The homes which are bring crafted by Pye are bordered by Welborne Park and the charming and historic Dashwood.

Streets have been deliberately designed to encourage walking and cycling as genuine alternatives to the car, which is a rarity in new developments, and something that makes a real difference to everyday wellbeing.

Dashwood Woodland: Ancient Forest on Your Doorstep

Perhaps the most remarkable natural feature of Welborne is Dashwood - a magnificent 38-hectare area of ancient woodland that forms part of the village and has been newly opened to the public. A 1.7-mile circular trail path winds through this special landscape, offering residents a genuine connection to nature that most new homeowners can only dream of.

Whether it's a weekend adventure with the children, a quiet walk to clear your head before the working day, or an evening amble as the light fades through the trees, Dashwood is the kind of amenity that becomes central to daily life. The team at Welborne fully understands the importance of green space for biodiversity, and Dashwood is a living testament to that commitment.

Orchard & Parkland: Green Space Woven into Every Street

Welborne's green credentials go far beyond a few token parks. Over 50% of the entire development is dedicated to green space, an equivalent to nearly 277 Wembley-sized football pitches, with a further 20% made up of private gardens.

Orchard plantings and generous parkland are woven through the masterplan, creating a village landscape that breathes and evolves with the seasons, that connects you to nature, to your community, and to the wider Hampshire countryside.

The New Café: Your Morning Ritual, Just Around the Corner

There's something quietly transformative about being able to walk to a good café. It anchors a community, creates a place to meet neighbours, and signals that a place has genuinely come alive. We're delighted to share that a new café is opening at Welborne this year, located below our Audley Apartments, prior to the village centre opening.

For our Pye Homes residents, this means that from the earliest days of living at Welborne, that simple pleasure of a proper morning coffee and buying your essentials - perhaps before a cycle along the village paths, or after a walk through Dashwood - will already be part of your routine. These are the details that transform a house into a home, and a collection of homes into a community.
