January 2020: The New Year has started well for Deanfield Homes with over 30% of the homes at its latest development, Deanfield Grange in Shipton-Under-Wychwood reserved  or sold within the first two months of the show home launching.

Deanfield Grange features a stunning collection of three, four and five bedroom family homes, built using local materials to create attractive street scenes on the edge of the sought after Cotswolds village, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 

Annette Gaskell, Sales and Marketing Manager for Deanfield Homes comments, “We are delighted to begin the new decade with such a positive start. The homes are proving extremely popular with families and downsizers looking for a high quality, low maintenance home in a rural setting, but within commuting distance of Oxford and London.

“The homes have been designed to reflect the traditional Cotswold stone look of the village but feature all the latest fixtures, fittings and appliances you could need for modern living.”

Each property is built to a quality 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.

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 variety of 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.

Prices range from £399,000 to £825,000 at Deanfield Grange. The show home is open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm. For more information about Deanfield Grange please call 01993 685695 or visit the website www.deanfieldhomes.co.uk
