A tale of two cities with Persimmon Homes

6th December 2010 Print

Like the great Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, househunters are being encouraged to ‘revolutionise’ the way they live by taking advantage of living with the best of both worlds – a tranquil semi-rural place to call home, while the commute to London’s Paddington Station is just an hour away.

This superb opportunity is exactly what’s on offer at Persimmon Homes’ Scholars Place development in Littlemore, but with just five properties remaining, purchasers should act sooner rather than later before they miss out on their favourite housetype.

“Littlemore continues to be such a sought-after area as it’s in such close proximity to Oxford city centre, the train station and the M40 network, making it an ideal location to call home for those who enjoy a relaxed, yet cosmopolitan lifestyle at home in Oxford, and work in London,” states Elaine Stratford, sales director for Persimmon Homes Thames Valley.

Prices for the final collection of homes start from £289,950 for the three bedroom Faraday design and from £314,950 for a four bedroom Hemingway housetype. For those looking to move before Christmas, Persimmon is also stamping out stamp duty this winter offering three per cent stamp duty paid on selected homes. Smaller homes benefit from an alternative scheme which includes carpets, turf, £1000 fees, curtains and appliances.

Elaine concludes: “For families and executives looking for rich culture, good schooling and great transport networks, our homes at Scholars Place should register highly on their list of ‘must see’ properties. Now really is the time to visit our beautiful development as with just a handful of housetypes remaining, including the showhome, it won’t be long before our presence in Littlemore comes to an end.”

A delightfully leafy Oxfordshire village, Littlemore has a good range of local facilities 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.
