Bloxham Vale

Development Overview

Bloxham Vale is a new build homes development by Redrow Homes, situated on Bloxham Road in Banbury, Oxfordshire (OX16 9WT), offering a selection of 3, 4, and 5-bedroom houses. This location positions residents on the southern edge of the historic market town, bordering open Oxfordshire countryside.

Redrow Homes, established in 1974, holds a reputation for quality, having consistently achieved the Five Star Customer Satisfaction award from the Home Builders’ Federation (HBF) and being consistently rated as 'excellent' on Trustpilot. The developer is also noted for being one of the first to implement the New Homes Quality Board’s new code of practice. While the developer generally maintains a strong standing among volume housebuilders, prospective buyers should note resident feedback indicating that the quality of the finished product can be highly dependent on the individual site manager, with some reports citing issues with initial site management and estate design, such as inadequate parking and landscaping beyond the show home areas.

Property Details

The open-market properties at Bloxham Vale are predominantly two-storey detached and semi-detached family houses, including three, four, and five-bedroom configurations. Shared Ownership opportunities for two and three-bedroom homes are also available through a partner housing association at this location, catering to first-time buyers and those with smaller-scale needs. Current available four-bedroom detached homes have a published starting price of approximately £525,000. Specific house types and full pricing for the entire range are advised as being confirmed upon contact with the developer’s sales team.

Standard Redrow specification includes contemporary interiors, a fitted kitchen, and dedicated parking provision. Many of the new homes from Redrow’s Heritage Collection feature traditional exteriors combined with modern, open-plan living spaces. New Redrow homes are increasingly built as 'Eco Electric' residences, incorporating air source heat pumps and a fabric-first approach for improved energy efficiency, a feature likely to be present in the newest releases.
