A new development of four and five-bedroom family homes in West Oxfordshire boasts a historic link to the Bayeux Tapestry.
Malthouse Farm, in Brighthampton, is set in the grounds of the property of the same name, which is mentioned in the 11th-century Domesday Book.
It was once owned by William the Conqueror’s half-brother Odo who, as Bishop of Bayeux, is believed to have commissioned the famous tapestry.
Arranged around a gated courtyard, the houses are traditionally built with a number of different finishes such as rustic stone, self-coloured render and timber.
All include energy-saving features such as air source heat pumps for hot water and heating, energy-efficient lighting, double-glazed timber windows and high-grade thermal insulation.
The development includes Windrush House, a five-bedroom property with attached double garage, and traditional-style country homes The Oast House, Hardwick House, The Granary and Malting House.
Claire Johnson, of agents Carter Jonas, said: “The ancient origins of this site inspired the architecture of these houses, and as each home is different, the development has a tapestry feel to its character.
“All are finished to a very high standard and early buyers have the opportunity to personalise their home with a choice of finishings from a select range.
“The kitchens are fully equipped with integrated appliances, and bathroom suites are high quality and contemporary.”
Prices at Malthouse Farm start at £595,000. For more information, or to arrange a viewing, contact Claire Johnson at Carter Jonas on 01865 511444 or visit carterjonas.co.uk.
