Area Lilly Court - originally known as The White Building - is a striking local landmark with a rich history dating back to 1939. Built for the American pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly & Co., it was designed as a state-of-the-art laboratory and factory, instantly recognisable by its iconic white Art Deco façade. During World War II, the building played its part in the war effort, with camouflage paint disguising its bright exterior and an anti-aircraft gun stationed on site to protect it. After decades as an important local employer, this historic building was sympathetically converted into stylish apartments in 2019, retaining its distinctive character with high ceilings, grand staircases and large windows that flood each home with natural light.

Chapel Gate, the attractive modern development surrounding Lilly Court, offers residents the best of both worlds: Convenient town living with plenty of open green space. Situated just a short walk from Basingstoke's bustling town centre, Festival Place shopping centre and the mainline train station, Chapel Gate is ideal for commuters and families alike, with excellent transport links to London and the South Coast via rail and the M3 motorway. Within the development, residents enjoy landscaped communal gardens, seating areas and a play park, creating a welcoming community feel. Secure gated parking is included for each home, along with ample visitor parking, ensuring friends and family are always welcome.
