Bedhampton Housing

Bedhampton in the United Kingdom, a Hampshire locality joined to the town of Havant, has a mixture of: older houses, many (but not all) in what is known as "Old Bedhampton" [ The area from Kingscroft Lane to Mill Lane, around the parish church and up to Manor Farm.] ; post war municipal housing at "Stockheath" [ The area from Hooks Lane Field northwards to The Hermitage Stream, bounded to the west by Tarrant gardens and to the east by New Road ] , built in the late 50s and 60s at the southern end of the Leigh Park estate, a significant proportion of which is now privately owned [ In the early 80s, the (Conservative) government of the day passed legislation enabling sitting tenants to buy their own home; after three years they were free to sell on the open market.] ;and a range of private housing, largely semi-detached [ Such as the roads, built by Hilson Homes in 1961, clustered around the "Bowood Sewer"] .
