Development Opportunity · Twickenham
11 Strawberry Vale
A rare plot whose garden runs down to the Thames, with the freedom to become almost anything you can picture.
Where we are today
A consented scheme for two homes.
We are securing planning permission for two elegant semi-detached family homes of around 3,000 sq ft each, on a quiet residential road in south Twickenham. The scheme has drawn unbroken local support, not a single letter of objection, and we expect consent shortly.
At the foot of the garden the land meets the river beside Swan Island, a working boatyard ringed by moored houseboats. Not an open panorama, but a quiet, characterful stretch of the Thames you rarely find this close to town. And this is only the beginning of what the site can be.
Three ways forward
One plot. A choice of futures.
Take on a consented plot.
Acquire the site outright with planning secured: two homes, a clean title and the hard planning yards already run. A rare, shovel-ready opportunity in one of south-west London's most sought-after pockets, ready for you to build straight away.
Two homes, one family.
Keep the second home close to home. Live in one and let your children take the other as they start out, keep parents nearby but independent, or hold it for an income. Two front doors, one family, and a set of options very few sites can offer, with Astrantia managing delivery of both homes from start to finish.
One home, entirely your own.
Or reimagine the plot completely. Combine the two plots and we take you back through planning for a single, substantial home of as much as 5,500 square feet, designed around the way you actually live, and manage its delivery from first sketch to finished home. A true self-build, without you having to become a developer to make it happen.
Now picture the dream
One magnificent home, designed entirely around you.
Imagine light pouring through full-height glazing, generous open-plan living that folds out to the garden, and a principal suite above the water. As much as 5,500 square feet of home, on a stretch of the Thames that almost never comes to market.
This is the kind of house we could create with you here. Not a template, an invitation.

Your home, your way
However you dream it, we can deliver it.
Two homes or one, traditional or contemporary, to live in or to let: the site is yours to shape. The images here are a glimpse of what is possible, not a fixed design. Your vision leads, and we make it real.

A self-build, in expert hands.
Building your own home should be one of the most rewarding things you ever do. Appoint Astrantia Homes as your development manager, under a development management agreement, and we carry the load from first drawing to front door, so the reward is all yours.

Secure the site
You acquire the plot. Whether you take the consented scheme or go back for a fresh consent, we guide the route and take the risk out of the ground beneath you.

We manage the build
Commission Astrantia Homes and we run delivery end to end: contractors, programme, cost and quality. You carry none of the construction risk.

We hand you the keys to a home built to a standard we would be proud to live in ourselves.

Register your interest
Let's talk about what's possible.
Whether you want the consented plot, two homes for your family, or one house designed entirely around you, we would love to walk you through it.
All images on this page are indicative. Planning consent is being sought for two semi-detached houses; the single-home option would be subject to a fresh planning application. Any design would be developed within what the site can support.
