Housebuilder’s Half-Million-Pound Oxfordshire Homes

Barratt Homes – part of the WhatHouse? Housebuilder of the Year 2019, Barratt Developments – has a number of current sites in Oxfordshire and for home-seekers on a budget of £500,000, there are house types for sale within that price limit, some of which are currently available with major money-saving offers.

The Chimes is just a three-minute drive to the Bicester Village outlet and within a five-minute drive of a variety of ‘Good’ Ofsted rated schools, making the choice of three-bedroom houses here a great option for families. It’s proving very popular, now 80% sold, partly down to the excellent road and rail connections close by.

There are several homes here under £500,000 that are currently coming with an offer of up to £20,000 towards your deposit. Barratt’s own Offer of the Week is the ‘Bloxham’ on Plot 16, where it is offering £18,000 towards the deposit on a home that is ready to move into – which will please anyone hoping to be safely installed in a new home by the end of the year. It also has an upgraded kitchen and flooring included throughout. This link-semi home comes with a car port and two parking spaces and is priced at £470,995. It has a spacious kitchen at the front, a lounge/dining room to the rear, downstairs cloakroom, a family bathroom and three generous double bedrooms, with built in storage and en suite to bedroom one.

Abbey Fields is in the respected market town of Abingdon, around 25 minutes’ drive from Oxford city centre and 40 minutes from Bicester. This development is delivering a variety of three- and four-bedroom houses currently starting at £458,000.

Just making our budget limit here is the ‘Kingsville’ at £499,950. This is a popular semi-detached three-storey Barratt house type offering space and flexibility. Off the family/dining room is the fitted kitchen and at the front of the home is a room that could be a study or a fourth bedroom. There’s some handy storage under the stairs and off the hallway. On the first floor are a lounge and bedroom one, with en suite. The top floor has two bedrooms and a family bathroom. This property comes with a single garage and two parking spaces. Buyers with a current home to sell can ask about the housebuilder’s Part Exchange Xtra scheme that could take away the hassle of the property chain.

‘Lutterworth’ house type

Situated in Bodicote, just two miles from Banbury, Whitechapel Gardens is offering a number of three- and four-bedroom house types to suit a range of requirements and budget. Some are available under the Deposit Unlock, which provides an opportunity to purchase with just a 5% deposit.

The three-bedroom ‘Lutterworth’ is an end-of-terrace corner house type from £416,995 with kitchen/dining room, lounge, two double bedrooms (one with en suite), single bedroom, bathroom and two private parking spaces. Current offers include upgraded kitchens and appliances and £19,000 or more towards your deposit.

If you can stretch the budget here a little, to £515,995, then a four-bedroom home is within reach. The ‘Thornton’ is a double-fronted detached house. Off to one side is a dual-aspect lounge with French doors to the south-west-facing garden, on the other the kitchen/dining room which in turn leads to a utility room and WC. Upstairs, bedroom one comes with en suite shower room and the other three bedrooms can share the family bathroom. The ‘Thornton’ comes with a single garage and two parking spaces.
