Elvetham Heath is not just a village, it's a community and a life-style. It's unique design/vision, fifteen years in the planning, is demonstrated by its open spaces, retained trees, nature reserve, cycle paths and footpaths.

Elvetham Heath was designed to create an appealing environment of real quality for a new community to grow.  With facilities, such as its own supermarket, pub, community centre, sports pitch, tennis courts and village green, they combine to make Elvetham Heath a desirable place to live.

The Heath boasts great transport links. By train, it's 54 minutes away from London Waterloo. By car, its two miles away from the M3 and twelve miles away from the M4.

Elvetham Heath is on the north side of Fleet in Hampshire. This part of Hampshire is a pleasant place to live; the nearby countryside offers wooded country parks and pleasant walks, as well as Fleet Pond. A new nature reserve has also been created at Elvetham Heath.

Residential areas range from detached houses in a wooded setting, to streets of formal town houses. Landmarks signal the different areas, which are connected by tree-lined roads, footpaths and cycleways. House designs have used traditional architectural influences to create interest and quality, and around the village square will be found the community centre, pub, supermarket, school, church and nursery.

Many mature trees have been retained at Elvetham Heath, including the dramatic wellingtonias, and tens of thousands of new trees and shrubs are being planted during its creation.

Facilities at Elvetham Heath are all within easy walking distance. The layout, whilst accommodating cars, encourages journeys by foot and bicycle.

All these factors make Elvetham Heath an inspiring living environment out of which a new community has grown.
