New affordable homes for Kingston Bagpuize
Six much-needed affordable homes have been unveiled in Kingston Bagpuize thanks to the Oxfordshire Rural Housing Partnership (ORHP). On Monday 29 January, the two and three bedroom homes at Oxford Close were officially opened, where the new residents were treated to a bottle of champagne and presented with flowers to welcome them. Sovereign Housing Group’s in-house architects designed the new development to help the new residents feel safer, and the homes can easily be altered to adapt to changing family circumstances, such as a disability or to meet the needs of the elderly. Sovereign has worked closely with Abingdon-based Leadbitter Construction, the Parish Council, Vale of White Horse District Council, and other ORHP partners to secure the site, and provide three rented homes, plus three part-buy part-rent properties to meet the village’s housing needs. New resident Amber Swadling said: “I have moved in with my two year old son from a smaller two bed home into this lovely new three bed, I’m really happy to be able to stay in the village because I’ve lived here all my life and all my friends and family are here.” Already this year, Sovereign has completed eight affordable homes in Crays Pond near Goring, and has started on site to deliver village housing needs at Marcham and Watlington.
