New Shared Ownership Homes To Launch In Oxfordshire

Delivering much needed affordable housing in Littlemore, Catalyst is launching the latest phase of homes at Newman Place, a collection of 162 one-to-four-bedroom Shared Ownership homes just south of Oxford.

The latest phase to launch - and the final opportunity to purchase an apartment at the development - will comprise 28 one- and two-bedroom apartments, starting from prices at little as £285,000.

Steve Pickering, head of sales and marketing (Counties) at Catalyst, comments: “Our homes at Newman Place have proved extremely popular with local buyers across Oxfordshire, and we’re pleased to be continuously delivering our high quality, shared ownership homes in an area with such high demand. Our track record at Newman Place has seen the majority of homes reserved within days of coming to market, and we’re already seeing real interest in our latest phase set to launch in September. With every home featuring private outdoor space, and integrated appliances and finishes included at no extra costs, it’s great to be able to help buyers onto the property ladder in such an affluent area, without hidden or additional costs.”

Designed to connect residents with the natural environment, Newman Place is a landscape-led development. Curving roads mirror Littlemore Brook, a waterway that meanders alongside the development, whilst a new walkway for residents and the wider community provides a footpath along the tributary.

Each property features an open-plan living area, outdoor space in the form of a balcony or garden, private parking, and high specification finishes as standard. Symphony Inline kitchens feature fully integrated appliances, whilst bathrooms include contemporary white sanitaryware and chrome accessories. Houses are spread across three-storeys, offering ample space for the whole family to enjoy, and the opportunity to convert one of the bedrooms into a home office space.

Across the site, sustainability features have been incorporated to offer both household savings on bills, and reduced carbon emissions. This includes energy-efficient building fabric and insulation, high-efficiency heating and double-glazed windows, low-energy lighting and solar panels; all helping to lower carbon emissions by at least 20%. The development will also have electrical vehicle charging points across the site, and cycle storage available.

The development is well located to Littlemore’s range of amenities including a nursery, supermarkets and parade of shops. Just a 10 minute drive away, Oxford city centre offers an impressive collection of shops and restaurants. Heyford Meadow Nature Reserve is just a mile away, providing a picturesque walking spot along the River Thames, whilst closer green spaces include Littlemore Park. Less than two miles from Newman Place, The Ozone Leisure Park has a cinema, bowling alley, swimming pool and gym.  

For transport connections into the capital, Oxford station can be reached in 13 minutes by car, where journeys to London Paddington take under an hour.  

All homes at Newman Place are available through Shared Ownership, a government-backed scheme that offers an alternative route on to the property ladder, lowering some of the financial barriers associated with buying a first home. 

Shared Ownership prices at Newman Place start from £71,250 for a 25% share of a one-bedroom apartment (FMV: £285,000).
