Catalyst’s Award-Winning Newman Place now 85% sold
A reflection of the demand for Shared Ownership homes in Oxfordshire, 85% of properties at Newman Place, Catalyst’s award-winning development in Littlemore, are now reserved.
Shared Ownership is particularly rare in this notoriously expensive area, where the average price of a flat is £359,230*. Providing first time buyers with the opportunity to own a home near Oxford’s city centre for a fraction of the price, Catalyst’s Newman Place offers a collection of 162 one-to-four-bedroom Shared Ownership homes. Interested purchasers can buy a 25% share of a two-bedroom home for just £86,250, and homes can be purchased with a deposit of just £4,313**, presenting an affordable route onto the property ladder in Oxfordshire.
Steve Pickering, Head of Sales and Marketing (Counties) at Catalyst, comments: “We are pleased that demand at Newman Place has remained strong - with only 12 apartments remaining, and the final eight homes being released this Spring, now is buyers’ last chance to purchase a home at our fantastic Littlemore development.”
“The rarity of Shared Ownership homes in Oxfordshire has made this development particularly popular, as an ever-growing number of first-time buyers discover how much the part-buy, part-rent scheme can help them get onto the property ladder, especially in the UK’s third most expensive place to own a home***.”
Designed to connect residents with the natural environment, Newman Place is a landscape-led development. Gently 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, private outdoor space in the form of a balcony or garden, 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, sustainable 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.
Conveniently positioned close to Littlemore’s range of amenities including a nursery, range of supermarkets and parade of shops, residents have useful facilities on the doorstep. Just a 10 minute drive away, buzzing Oxford city centre offers a plethora of shops and restaurants. Heyford Meadow Nature Reserve is 1 mile away, providing a picturesque walking spot along the River Thames, whilst closer green spaces include Littlemore Park. Offering a variety of entertainment options, The Ozone Leisure Park has a cinema, bowling alley, swimming pool and gym, all less than 2 miles from Newman Place.
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.
Prices at Newman Place start from £86,250 for a 25% share of a two-bedroom apartment (FMV: £345,000).
