Sales advisor Valerie Gleeson is no stranger to the quality homes built by award-winning regional housebuilder Deanfield Homes, having sold properties at the company’s Deanfields development in Oxfordshire since it launched earlier this year. So when the time came to purchase her own new build home, it was no surprise that Valerie chose a home on the very development she worked.

“Strictly speaking I wasn’t looking to move but after seeing first-hand how popular the homes at Deanfields were, it was an easy decision,” explains Valerie. “With the final homes selling strongly, I realised I didn’t want to miss out on being part of the new community here and that this development was more than my workplace; it was my ideal home too.”

Deanfields is located in the ancient parish of Stanton Harcourt, just under ten miles west of Oxford and six miles from Valerie’s current home in Witney. Comprising an exclusive collection of three, four and five-bedroom detached homes, Deanfields has attracted purchasers looking to make the most of town and country living.

Valerie continues: “The village’s location on the outskirts of the Cotswolds, yet commutable to Oxford, has been a huge attraction for many of the couples and families who are soon to become my new neighbours. It’s also a very traditional setting with thatched roof cottages, a village post office/ shop and 17^th Century pub so it’s very picturesque. Deanfields has been thoughtfully designed to blend in, so homes here have a traditional appearance including Cotswold limestone exteriors, meaning plenty of kerb appeal!”

Another key factor in Valerie’s decision to move was the fixtures and finishes Deanfield Homes include as standard. Valerie adds: “Moving home can be stressful so knowing that my new home will be built with integrated appliances, landscaped gardens, security lighting as well as all-important energy saving measures such as an A-rated boiler, underfloor heating and an electric vehicle charging point, offers real peace of mind. It’s this attention to detail that Deanfield customers can be assured of and is how I believe the company turns a house into a home.

“I’m so looking forward to watching my new home being built and can’t imagine a better endorsement than to tell our purchasers that I’m moving in too!”
