The Fear Of Missing Out Is Real With Only Nine Luxury Homes. On big estates, “limited release” means another phase next year. Here it means nine homes in total, and only two resales since 2020. That tells you more than any glossy brochure ever could.

When families move into Perry Way, they don’t tend to treat it as a stepping stone. It’s the kind of small, exclusive cul-de-sac people choose because they can see themselves staying for some time.

With only nine homes in total, and five in the cul-de-sac it feels private and safe without feeling isolated - the village hall is just round the corner, after all. Children can ride bikes, neighbours know each other, and there’s real breathing room between each property.

Pull onto the wide gravel driveway and you immediately see the advantage. There’s room for four or five cars without the need for choreography, plus a double garage that could easily provide extra space to securely store the cars if you needed it.

Inside, the layout reflects how modern families actually live. The hallway includes a deep understairs cupboard and a separate downstairs WC, so coats, school bags and everyday clutter don’t spill into the main rooms. That’s the theory anyway…anyone with kids will know the daily challenge you face to keep things tidy.

The spacious sitting room feels light from morning through to evening. A bay window brings in the early sun at the front, while wide bifold doors open straight onto the garden at the side.

In the warmer months, you can fold the doors back and let the house spill outside. It’s a space that works just as well for quiet evenings as it does for having friends over.

The impressive open plan kitchen, diner and family room stretches almost 28ft (11m) across the rear. A central island anchors the room, and integrated Smeg appliances include a double oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer, along with a separate wine fridge.

There’s space for a full dining table, and another set of bifold doors draws in the evening light. It’s easy to imagine long dinners here while the sun lingers at the end of the day.

At the front of the house, there's a separate study opposite the living room. If you work from home it’s big enough to work in all day without needing to sacrifice a bedroom or tuck yourself away in the corner of another room.

Upstairs, the five bedrooms all feel very different from many modern homes. There’s no loft above, so the ceilings are higher and the rooms have subtle sloping shapes that add character and a sense of real space.

The main bedroom is particularly impressive, with room for wardrobes and additional furniture. The ensuite includes a large walk-in shower and a touch-lit mirror.

Bedroom two also has its own shower room, which works well for older children or guests. The remaining three bedrooms are all comfortable doubles, served by a four piece family bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower.

A large airing cupboard houses the pressurised hot water tank, and heating on both floors can be controlled separately, giving you flexibility throughout the seasons.

The home also includes a built-in air circulation system that gently moves fresh air through the house and helps prevent condensation in winter, so you don’t need to keep opening windows on cold days.

Outside, the large, L-shaped gardens have a choice of seating areas so you can follow the afternoon and evening sun. There are two outdoor power points, an outside tap and electricity connected to the garage.

If you need more outside space, you’ll only have to walk a few minutes to be out in open fields. The nearby Chawton Park Wood offers a beautiful natural escape - an inspiring setting often frequented by Jane Austen, no less.

In the short time since its construction Perry Way has become a highly sought-after location in Four Marks, just round the corner from the village hall.

It’s only a 2 minute drive or a 15 minute walk to the parade of shops which has everything you’ll need day-to-day. There’s a Tesco Express and M&S Food, a fantastic bakery and a choice of takeaways.

If you’re heading further afield, you can leave the car at home as the 64 bus picks up on Winchester Road, with services every 20 minutes to Winchester and Alton.

If you have young children or are thinking of starting a family, Four Marks CofE Primary School is rated “Good” by Ofsted and is only a mile away - it will take less than 2 minutes in the car or it’s a pleasant 15 minute walk.

The bustling market town of Alton is a 5 minute drive away, where you’ll find a greater choice of shops and places to eat, including Waitrose, M&S and Sainsbury’s.

Four Marks is very well-connected for commuters, with direct trains from Alton to London Waterloo.

If you’re driving, the A31 offers easy access to the M3 and other major roads - meaning both Heathrow and Gatwick airports are about an hour's drive away.

There are still four years remaining on the NHBC warranty, giving you the reassurance of a modern home without the uncertainty of buying off-plan.

There’s no release phases to watch, no waiting for the developers to finish up and tidy the estate. Just a luxury detached family home on an exclusive cul-de-sac where homes rarely come back onto the market.

With only two properties here changing hands since new, this is one of those rare opportunities that doesn’t appear often. If Perry Way has been on your radar for a while, now would be the time to arrange a closer look.
