Kempshott is an area and housing estate in Basingstoke located to the west of Pack Lane. The Kempshott estate dates back to the early 1700's where the Duke of Edinburgh stayed at Kempshott House and later had his honeymoon here in 1795 with Caroline of Brunswick. The estate has since developed with the creation of Homesteads Road and Kempshott Lane to generate a farming community. However this changed quickly to aid with the London overspill and soon became part of Basingstoke.

It was largely buit in the 1970s and early 1980s in three phases referred to as The Lakes (between Homesteads Road and Pack Lane), The Flowers (off Heather Way), the Birds (off Kempshott Lane).

The main road through the estate is Kempshott Lane with Homesteads Road, Coniston Road and Heather Way forming access routes and Kestrel Road, Heron Way and Gracemere Crescent forming crescents with residential cul-de-sacs.
