The Acre, Cumnor Hill

We like our housing to be elegant, sassy, modern. But mostly, we want it to have that elusive quality – homeliness. That's why we choose John Pardey Architects, who excel at such blending. 

We think houses should offer a warm welcome: a proper ‘threshold’ moment; a sense of coming home with the fireplace as the heart of the home. And we want light and views to flow throughout the space giving long views through the property and of stuff going on in the garden.

Sitting comfortably between the twin delights of Oxford's bustling city centre and the wonders of the Cotswolds, The Acre perfectly dovetails our aspiration to develop schemes that straddle the opportunities and society life which town can offer and the beauty and tranquillity of the open countryside.

Whether works by da Vinci, Cromwell's death mask or rock festivals float your boat then the city's museums and lively cultural scene has it all. Or check out the Henley Regatta nearby. 

Mortgage finance is readily available for custom builders and it can be selected to suit your circumstances as with traditional mortgage products. We will work with our mortgage advice partner Buildstore Mortgage Services to gather information about the perfect finance deal for your own custom build. And don’t forget that as stamp duty may only be payable on part of the value of your finished custom built home, you could make financial savings in the process (but make sure to take your own advice on this!).
