Major Self Build Development Project at Graven Hill, Bicester

Over 50% of the UK population are interested in the idea of self building their own home. Based on that the largest self build development project has been created at Graven Hill near Bicester in Oxfordshire.

The concept is to simplify the process and accommodate up to 1900 new homes over 188 hectares of land (arranged in a circle around a wooded hill). Graven Hill is about 3 miles from Juncion 9 of the M40.

Graven Hill will be the UK’s leading custom build project which is being orchestrated by Cherwell District Council. The development will allow for like-minded future residents to work together in building a community with shared spaces and amenities along with your own personally designed homes meeting your specific requirements.

The site will allow for up to 1,900 new homes ranging from detached homes, semi and terraced, bungalows, apartment blocks, eco homes and custom build homes. The variations of plot sizes allows for larger scale grand designs to smaller plots for people with more modest budgets.

Vision Development are pleased to offer a range of custom build homes to individual self-builders and groups of aspiring custom builders who are all looking to provide more housing whether it be for themselves or a collaborative project building low cost apartments or eco homes for the more environmentally friendly conscious self-builder!

Choosing to work with Vision will allow you full control of your tailored home that suits all aspects of your lifestyle and budget.

Vision’s timber frame homes are built fast, strong and energy efficient. They not only save on energy use, and the subsequent lower running costs, but due to their pre-fabrication, they are flat packed onto a lorry and installed within a short period of time, leaving a weatherproof structure ready for 1st fix trades and external finishes to commence.

Why not take a look through our Timber Frame Kit Homes to see if any are suitable for the plot you are purchasing?
