Deanfield Homes has been given the green light for a new collection of character properties in the picturesque village of East Hagbourne. South Oxfordshire District Council has granted reserved matters planning permission for a new development of 74 homes, all traditional in design, in keeping with the development’s rural location.

Deanfield Green will feature a range of two to five-bedroom high quality private homes with a superior specification, set amongst public open space, a children’s play area and links to pedestrian and cycle routes. The new development will also benefit the local community by providing an extension to the existing village hall car park and the gifting of around two acres of school playing fields to Oxfordshire County Council to secure the use of this space for local people in perpetuity.

East Hagbourne, situated just a mile south of Didcot and 11 miles south of Oxford, is an aspirational place to live featuring period properties, listed buildings and a strong sense of community. The village has a shop, a village hall, a community pavilion, Hagbourne C of E Primary School and St Andrew’s Church, which dates back to the 11^th century. Ideal for commuters, the development offers easy access to the A34 and the region’s motorway networks beyond, whilst Didcot Parkway train station provides direct services into London Paddington in less than 45 minutes.

Peter Blades, Managing Director of Deanfield Homes, comments: “We are delighted to be consolidating our strong track record in Oxfordshire with another high-quality development in a prime village location. East Hagbourne offers purchasers a peaceful rural setting with good local amenities whilst still within easy reach of Oxford and everything this historic city has to offer.

“We are expecting Deanfield Green to be popular with first time buyers, young families and those seeking their next step on the property ladder and would urge anyone interested to register now ahead of the first release of homes which is expected to be in Autumn 2022.
