Ocotober 2019: Deanfield Homes has released a select number of plots for off-plan reservations at its eagerly awaited Cotswolds development, Deanfield Grange in Shipton-Under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire.

The stunning collection of three, four and five bedroom family homes are situated on the edge of the sought after village and are designed to reflect the architectural style of the area. It also sits neatly within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with excellent connections to Oxford and London.

Annette Gaskell, Sales and Marketing Manager for Deanfield Homes comments, “Deanfield Grange is the perfect answer for those looking for a traditional Cotswold style stone property with fresh thoughtfully planned interior layouts and the very latest fixtures, fittings and appliances.

“Through our selling agents, Savills, those interested will be able to view the plans and product specification of the homes and also potentially make some personal choices, such as kitchen colour and flooring to the home if they reserve early.”

Each property is built to a high specification with a professionally designed kitchen, Bosch appliances, built-in wardrobes to select bedrooms, contemporary bathroom suites and a host of energy saving measures for low running costs.

Shipton-under-Wychwood is situated in the Evenlode Valley which is brimming with character and essential amenities. New residents will benefit from an established location, where the traditional cornerstones of village life, a central green, a cricket club, cosy country pubs and a parish church, still underpin the community.

It also benefits from a highly regarded primary school, tennis club, a convenience store with Post Office and two pubs, The Wychwood Inn and The Shaven Crown, the latter of which overlooks the village green and was once a guest house run by monks.

The village is located on the A361 between Chipping Norton and Burford, the M40 and the A44 run to the east of the village, with the A40 to the south. There are also good national rail connections which can be accessed from Shipton, Ascott-under-Wychwood and Kingham train stations and are serviced by Great Western Railways. Shipton station, which is an 18 minute walk from Deanfield Grange, offers direct services to Oxford, Reading and London Paddington, with the latter less than 90 minutes in journey time.

Wychwood Wild Garden is one of the village’s real highlights, a centuries old garden and woodland spanning 12.5 acres, where waterfalls, ponds and ancient trees support a varietyof wildlife and provide a tranquil spot for contemplation.

Equally as beautiful as the village are the far reaching rural views, wheat fields, grazing cattle and arable farmland that change beautifully with the seasons. These landscapes are easily explored on foot as Shipton-under-Wychwood sits on the Oxfordshire Way footpath, opening the door to splendid walks through the Evenlode Valley to Bruern Abbey, Bledington or Charlbury.

As you would expect from its Cotswolds location, Shipton-under-Wychwood is surrounded by stunning neighbours. The adjacent villages of Milton-under-Wychwood and Ascott- under- Wychwood follow the same village blueprint as Shipton, while the much- photographed Burford High Street, with its cobbled streets and independent shops, and Witney town centre offer more extensive facilities, both less than 20 minutes away by car.

Help to Buy is also available at Deanfield Grange. The scheme enables you to buy a new home with just a 5% deposit, whether you are a first-time buyer or moving from your existing home. The Government will lend up to 20% of the value of the new home via an equity loan, on all properties up to £600,000 and is exclusively available on new build properties.

Released prices range from £399,000 to £695,000 at Deanfield Grange. For more information about Deanfield Grange please call selling agents, Savills on 01865 269010 or take a look at the development here.

Lorraine Probert, Manager of Ducklington pre-school comments, “We moved into our new building last October and were keen to create a construction area for the children to role play with work benches, tools, cement mixer, hard hats and bricks.

Annette Gaskell, Sales, Marketing and Customer Liaison Manager for Deanfield Homes adds, “We are delighted that we could support Ducklington pre-school.
