June 2020: Set in an enviable position in one of South Oxfordshire’s most desirable villages, with the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the east and the North Wessex Downs to the west, Deanfield Homes is set to launch its latest development of high quality new homes at Deanfield Place in Cholsey.

With contemporary design and a quality specification, this collection of eight, two and three bedroom homes is ideal for first time buyers, young families and downsizers alike. Cholsey is perfect for those looking for a traditional village setting with all of life’s essentials on offer along with good commuter links to Oxford, London and Reading, courtesy of the village train station.

Annette Gaskell, Sales and Marketing Manager for Deanfield Homes comments, “We are delighted to be bringing our latest select development to the village of Cholsey. We are committed to building high quality new homes designed with the customer in mind, and carefully select areas where our homes can integrate well into established communities and this development is no exception.

“The homes at Deanfield Place will be ready to move into in Spring 2021 and we are asking anyone who is interested to register on our website and be one of the first to receive updates on the development as well as the opportunity to reserve off plan, ahead of our show home opening in early 2021.”

The charming village of Cholsey has everything you need, with a mini-market, post office, pharmacy, Indian restaurant and village pub. These facilities are also complemented by Cholsey Pavilion community hub, a pre-school, two primary schools and two churches. Taking a step outside of Cholsey you can visit the market town of Wallingford which offers a wider range of facilities and stores, including a Waitrose, farmers market, gym, theatre and swimming pool.

Cholsey station, in the heart of the village, provides regular and reliable services, with high speed rail line via Reading delivering a Cholsey to London Paddington service in less than an hour. Train services also stop at Oxford and Maidenhead among other destinations.

Travel by road is equally straightforward with Cholsey lying eight miles from the A34, 20 minutes from junction 13 of M4 and 25 minutes from the M40, junction 6.

Buying a new home has multiple benefits – advantages that are felt from the moment you reserve a property and that last throughout your homeownership. At Deanfield Homes, we take buying new to an elevated level, ensuring your experience of owning one of our properties brings a lifetime of pleasure.

Below are some of the Deanfield differences:-

Help selling your existing home: Deanfield’s Assisted Sale service takes away the hassle of appointing and managing an estate agent. We step in and manage the sale of your property using a network of handpicked agents, leaving you free to reserve the home of your dreams. What’s more, Deanfield will pay your estate agency fees.

Shorten your property chain: buying a new home will complete your chain. This guarantees there is no one above you, therefore making the transaction much simpler to coordinate.

Maximum choice: buying off plan or early in the construction process gives buyers the pick of the plots and allows purchasers to influence the internal specification of their new home. Register your interest in our developments and enjoy the opportunity to choose your favourite property type, kitchen, tiles and floor coverings.

Enjoy a home, not a project: buying brand new gifts purchasers the chance to concentrate on living life, rather than worrying about niggling maintenance or DIY tasks. Each Deanfield property is impeccably finished and ready to move in to, with fully fitted kitchens, integrated appliances, beautiful bathrooms and low running costs.

A decade of peace-of-mind: there are no guarantees with older properties but when you buy new from Deanfield Homes, you’ll benefit from a 10-year NHBC warranty, an emergency NPA 24/7 call-out service and our very own two-year after-sales service, following completion.

Being part of a community: new homes are the perfect choice for buyers who are community minded. Every Deanfield Homes development is hand-selected and laid out to create a new, welcoming neighbourhood.

Modern homes, traditional details: although our new homes are packed with cutting-edge technology and modern fittings, we have perfected the art of including traditional details that bring a sense of comforting familiarity.

Improved eco credentials: buying new instantly improves energy efficiency. As well as modern methods of construction – with emphasis on sustainability and locally-sourced materials – every Deanfield home comes with a raft of eco saving measures. Expect thermostatically controlled central heating power by an A-rated boiler and monitored by a smart energy meter; energy and water-saving kitchen appliances; dual flush WCs; double glazed windows for optimum thermal insulation; low energy lighting and high levels of insulation – all included to reduce energy consumption and lower fuel bills.

Make your mark: new homes offer buyers a blank canvas – smooth, neutrally-painted walls ready for a splash of colour, cherished photographs or your favourite artwork. Move in and personalise your space without hesitation.

Secure by design: we want buyers to feel safe and secure in their new Deanfield home, so we always include a multi-point locking system to the front door, outside lights and dusk-to-dawn sensor lights serving the main entrance point.

March 2020: We are committed to creating aspirational homes in established communities, designed with the customer in mind and our latest development, Deanfield Grange is no exception.

These include Bosch fully integrated kitchen appliances, contemporary shaker style kitchens and utility rooms, built in wardrobes, contemporary shaker style oak veneer interior doors, stylish ROCA bathroom suites and ultra-fibre broadband available in each home.

“Energy efficiency is also a key factor in brand new homes and each feature A rated gas boilers, energy monitors to help track energy usage and reduce bills and environmental impact, dual glazed PVCu windows, dual flush toilets to reduce water use, low energy lighting and high levels of insulation to limit heat loss in the winter and reduce heat gain the summer.”

“We have never been huge fans of new homes but were really impressed with the quality of the homes on offer at Deanfield Grove, with the spacious layout and the attention to detail throughout. The little extra touches that aren’t usually included in new homes, such as full width mirrors in the bathrooms and fitted wardrobes really made a difference.

“The team at Deanfield Homes and Savills were really helpful throughout and made the whole move as stress free as possible. We are really pleased we have made the move and it is wonderful being closer to our family and to be a part of them growing up.”
