The building blocks of life

The children at St Andrews Primary School recently enjoyed a special hands-on visit to award-winning housebuilder Linden Homes’ Oakley Gardens development in Chinnor, Oxfordshire. Putting on hard hats and high visible vests was all part of the fun for the children who enjoyed the opportunity to bring their lessons to life.

The pupils aged between nine and ten were first given a talk about site safety from Health and Safety Advisor Paul Neale. It was then the turn of Sales and Marketing Director, Zoe Dobbs who explained to the children how a home was built and the different stages needed in order to complete a development, as idyllic as Oakley Gardens as she comments:

“It was a pleasure to show the children around Oakley Gardens and I hope that it has given them an insight into the construction process. It was a very rewarding day and the children asked some interesting questions about the development. They were extremely pleased to be shown around the homes and I think all the children decided which bedroom was theirs, the only problem was they all wanted the same one!”

Class teacher, Annette Mashru, who organised the trip, extended her gratitude to Linden Homes. She comments: "The children had a really great time and it has given them a chance to see how the construction process begins with an initial design and ends with a completed house. I’d like to say a big thank you to Linden Homes for enabling us to see first hand, eco friendly elements being put into place on Oakley Gardens, as we have been discussing this at school. Especially as the children now have a greater awareness of the importance of environmental features in new houses."

Over 75% of the homes at Oakley Gardens have sold with all of the two and three bedroom homes now reserved. For those who missed out, the new phase has just been launched for sale. Oakley Place comprises of 5, two bedroom homes and offers another opportunity to buy a two bedroom home at this stunning new community. Moreover, some of the homes benefit from garages.

The high specification to all homes includes a designer kitchen enjoying a wealth of integrated appliances, such as an electric stainless steel oven, gas hob and stainless steel extractor hood, in addition to a fridge/freezer. The four and five bedroom homes also benefit from an integrated dishwasher and washer dryer. In the bathroom customers will find contemporary suites in white, complete with complimentary chrome taps and fittings.

Chinnor has a small selection of shops, a post office and several traditional stores, while High Wycombe, around 15 miles away, offers two indoor shopping centres and a bustling high street. For commuters, the M40 is easily accessible and provides access to the A40 into Oxford or alternatively, the M25 for access into London.
