Charles Church @ Valley Park

Development Overview

Charles Church @ Valley Park is a new build development of two, three, and four-bedroom homes situated in the new community of Valley Park, Didcot, Oxfordshire (OX11 6LB). Positioned as the premium brand within the larger consortium-led Valley Park scheme, the development will contribute to a master plan of up to 4,254 homes, supported by a £50 million investment in community infrastructure. The developer, Charles Church, is a subsidiary of Persimmon plc and currently holds a 5-star rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF), reflecting a recommendation rate of over 90% from verified homeowners. Current construction is underway, with the show home launch tentatively scheduled for Saturday, 11th October 2025, to be confirmed by the sales team.

Property Details

The Charles Church phase of the Valley Park development offers a collection of modern, energy-efficient houses and apartments. All properties are designated as 'zero-carbon ready' and are a no-gas site, which is a key component of their sustainability commitment. Standard features across the new homes include air source heat pumps, rooftop solar panels, and electric vehicle charging points. For prospective buyers, a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house, such as the ‘Steventon’ house type, was previously listed for sale at approximately £429,995. Final floor plans and specific property specifications can be obtained by contacting the development’s executive sales team.

Location Benefits and Transport

Valley Park is positioned to offer exceptional connectivity to major employment and education hubs. Didcot Parkway railway station is the primary commuter link, providing Great Western Railway (GWR) services with a fastest journey time of approximately 37 minutes to London Paddington, and a rapid 12 minutes to Oxford. Road links are supported by the nearby A4130 and B4493, with the area benefiting from ongoing infrastructure improvements, including the Didcot Science Bridge project, designed to improve local traffic flow and connectivity.

The community masterplan includes a significant commitment to local amenities. Within the Valley Park site, future facilities will encompass two new primary schools, a Special Educational Needs (SEN) school, a healthcare centre, local retail centres, and sports facilities at the planned Common Park. Existing amenities are already within easy reach: Didcot Primary School and Bright Horizon Nursery are situated approximately one mile away, while Aureus Secondary School and UTC Oxford are both located within 1.5 miles. The established Didcot town centre provides essential high-street shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

Practical Information

The current phase offers a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom homes. While an advertised four-bedroom price example stands at £429,995, prospective buyers should contact the developer for the current pricing schedule, availability of house types, and specific plot releases. Charles Church provides a 2-year warranty and a 10-year insurance-backed new homes warranty on all properties.
