Oak Farm Drive

Living Space and Housing Provider Paradigm secured a 3.5-acre site off Oak Farm Drive, in the traditional Oxfordshire village of Milcombe. The £10million scheme delivered 40 homes for affordable rent and shared ownership, and were constructed in either brick or ironstone, to reflect the appearance of the many traditional residences within the historic North Oxfordshire village. All homes were fitted with eco-friendly air source heat pumps, to provide the residents with sustainable heating technology.

The accommodation mix for the Oak Farm Drive development comprised of nine one-bedroom properties, 14 two-bedroom homes, 14 three-bedroom houses, and seven four-bedroom houses., with parking provision on site for residents and visitors. The site density was 38 dwellings per hectare, lower than typical densities for new affordable housing schemes.
