THE real views from new luxury homes in West Oxford have been revealed, replacing ‘misleading pictures’ of idyllic countryside previously used in a marketing campaign.

The £1.3m homes in the ‘Beaumont Gate’ development in Abbey Road were initially marketed with views which appeared to omit the New Botley Allotments and West Oxford Community Centre.

But Cala Homes, announcing the development’s showhome was now open for viewing, have now cleared things up for potential buyers.

The new images show views of the allotments and the River Thames from the balcony.

In November the developer said it was ‘not possible’ to produce a CGI of the allotments and had drawn up a simplified version showing greenery instead.

An estate agent told the Oxford Mail the pictures might breach the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPR), which prevents agents and property managers from misleading buyers.

City councillor for the area, Susanna Pressel, described the pictures as ‘misleading’ and hoped prospective buyers would visit to see the real view.

The six three and four-bedroom houses sit next to six affordable one and two-bed flats.
