One of the South’s most desirable locations

From the Old Mansion Collective’s elegant, sweeping tree-lined approach, past ancient fishing ponds and through its historic landscape, you’ll discover a special place that you’ll want to call home. Already a multi-award-winning development, Highwood has breathed fresh life into an exquisite setting and created an imposing new community of homes that will appeal to everyone.

Set in the Parish of Chilworth in a quiet landscape, this is one of the South’s most desirable locations. On the outskirts of Southampton’s city centre and all it has to offer, yet minutes from the sea, the New Forest and a transport network that can take you everywhere you need to go with ease.

 

 

Reassuringly close to all you need

Everything you need is conveniently near and reassuringly easy to find. Close to home, footpaths will take you Eastleigh town centre, two local train stations and you’ll find bus services for travel to Eastleigh and Southampton here too.

Going further afield is just as easy. You’re just a short distance from Junction 5 of the M27 motorway that connects the southeast and southwest and London and the north via the M3. Southampton Parkway train station is within easy walking distance for travel to all major commuter destinations and London Waterloo is just over an hour away.

When it’s time to venture further, Southampton International Airport and the 30-plus exciting destinations it serves is only five minutes away.

Highwood – a multi-award-winning developer

A multi-award-winning development

The Old Mansion Collective was named Residential Development of the Year Award 2022 at the South Coast Property Awards and was a Finalist in the Housebuilder Awards 2023 in the Best Design – Three Storeys or Fewer category.

The development was also recognised by national planning awards judges with a shortlisting for HGP Architects in the Award for Best Housing Scheme (Fewer than 500 Homes) at the Planning Awards 2020.

A rich history

The Old Mansion Collective is steeped in a rich history that dates back to the Saxon era. Later, the stunning medieval landscape and its deer park became a grand, aristocratic hunting ground. In 1545, the manor passed to the Willis Fleming family who dramatically rebuilt it as a magnificent mansion with 29 rooms, at least 10 outbuildings and gardens with ponds and spectacular parkland. 

Today, Highwood is reviving this remarkable landscape once more. We’re preserving the site’s superb ecology and staying true to its incredible heritage so new generations can enjoy life in one of the most exquisite settings on the south coast.

“I was first to reserve at The Old Mansion Collective – I wanted the convenience of a new build, but without feeling too built up or overlooked. I loved the private road, the courtyard setting and community vibe and, in reality, it’s exceeded my expectations. There’s been no snags, the wildlife is fantastic with so many deer and squirrels and the garden is almost too big because it takes me ages to mow! I love it here!”
