Persimmon is top of the class in Littlemore

If you thought you couldn’t afford to live just five miles from the heart of beautiful Oxford then think again, as Persimmon Homes Thames Valley has now opened its Littlemore development, Scholars Place, with houses to suit first time buyers and growing and established families.

Set in the charming village of Littlemore, Scholars Place is set to become a welcome addition to the area as demand for quality new, yet affordable, homes is on the rise. The development hosts a selection of apartments, traditional two storey and contemporary townhouse designs in the first release.

There are only four apartments being constructed at Scholars Place and prices start from £209,950 for the elegant two bedroom Churchill apartment. Two of the flats available come complete with feature balconies, and would make an ideal home for those looking to commute and for downsizers who don’t want to compromise on living space.

Also on offer in the first release is the three bedroom Edison semi-detached home, which is currently available for £284,950.

Elaine Stratford, sales director for Persimmon Homes Thames Valley, states: “Our latest Littlemore development follows on from the success we received in 2006 at our previous development in the village and we have launched the development earlier than expected due to the great deal of interest we’ve received in the properties we’re constructing.

“We chose to build here again as the area is extremely attractive to those who want to live close to centre of Oxford, whilst also being able to take advantage of being situated in a leafy rural and typically English village.”

Scholars Place is being built in a series of attractive and quiet cul de sacs and interested parties are being encouraged to register their interest in the homes available, so they can cheery pick and reserve their favourite plot at the development.

A delightfully leafy Oxfordshire village, Littlemore has a good range of local amenities including a choice of leisure and sporting amenities.  The wider shopping, leisure and entertainment facilities of Oxford are just a few miles away as well as the city ring road which offers easy access to the M40 and A34.
