The Lawns, Kennington Road

Development Overview

The Lawns is an established new build development by Redrow Homes, located on Kennington Road (OX14 2JR), situated advantageously between the villages of Kennington and Radley, less than four miles south of Oxford City Centre. The development is now sold out but serves as a representative example of new build standards and living in this area. The scheme is defined by Redrow’s award-winning Heritage Collection, which combines traditional Arts & Crafts architectural features with modern, high-specification interiors and efficient layouts. Redrow Homes maintains a strong reputation for customer service, having consistently achieved a 5-Star rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF), with over 95% of surveyed customers stating they would recommend the builder to a friend.

Property Details

This collection of new build homes provided a diverse range of properties, catering to different buyer needs with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom house types. The detached and semi-detached properties featured high-quality construction and a focus on energy efficiency. Historically, the site offered premium family homes such as the four-bedroom ‘Sunningdale’ (which featured a generous open-plan kitchen/dining area and two en-suite bedrooms) and the five-bedroom ‘Marlborough’. Homes on Redrow developments are designed with a ‘Fabric First’ approach, incorporating advanced insulation and efficient heating systems, which the developer estimates can save homeowners over £970 annually on energy bills compared to a second-hand property. Interior specifications across the development typically included modern kitchens, spacious family areas, and high-quality fittings throughout.

The Lawns benefits significantly from its direct transport links and access to both rural and urban amenities. Commuters have excellent access to Radley railway station, located a short drive away. From here, direct train services connect to Oxford in approximately 8 minutes, with trains running frequently throughout the day. The location is also well-connected by road, providing immediate access to the A34, facilitating travel north towards the M40 and south towards Newbury and the M4 corridor.
