A SHOW home at a new £15 million housing estate objected to by a town council is set to open to the public.

The home at Linden Gardens in Carterton, off Kilkenny Lane, will be open this month.

Criticism of the 32 houses also came from Oxfordshire County Council.

In its correspondence, Carterton Town Council objected, saying it felt the area would be ‘very crowded’.

The council added it was the fourth application for the plot of land, and there were concerns regarding the sewerage capability.

The site was previously a large family home, with an orchard, lawn garden and tennis court.

Building works on the housing estate, by property developer Taggart Homes, are progressing on track.

The homes, a mixture of semi-detached and detached properties, are due for completion in late 2021.

Taggart Homes co-founder, and chief executive officer, Michael Taggart said: “We are delighted and excited to be bringing this exquisite luxury family development to this great location nestled in West Oxfordshire.

“Its location is the biggest selling point, adjacent to the country park, and with open fields beyond, it is ideal for families and commuters due to being in the close vicinity of major road and rail routes.

“As with all properties by Taggart Homes, our dedicated team of professionals ensure that each detail of each property is designed and built to the highest standards to provide the best possible product on the market, from the layout and design, to the workmanship and materials used for the build, interior fixtures and fittings and surrounding landscaped spaces.

“We want to build communities where neighbours become friends, where memories are made and we understand what a huge step buying a new home is, so we always strive to provide the finest quality properties, where luxury meets convenience.”

In addition to objection from the town council, an officer from Oxfordshire County Council said that with regards to public transport, the site location was ‘not ideal, being a very long walk to the S2 strategic bus service which operates along Monahan Way towards Witney and Oxford’.

The officer added that there was a 15-minute walk to the nearest bus stop and that the distance to the local primary school is not walkable.

Paul Stachura, new homes sales manager at Connells estate agents in Oxford, said: “We’re hugely excited to be working alongside Taggart Homes and offering these very special homes to the people of Carterton.

“Interest in the development is already exceptional and the local branch is being inundated with enquiries for details, from people within the town and further afield.

“With such a great mix of houses in a stunning location, Linden Gardens will undoubtedly become the ‘place to live’ in Carterton.”

Properties start at £250,000 and go up to £800,000. There are Help to Buy and Shared Ownership options for new homeowners.
