Graven Hill, Graven Hill

Based in Bicester, Oxfordshire, Graven Hill is the UK’s largest opportunity for people who want to design their own home, making self-build possible while offering a range of options to suit all needs, from personalised custom homes to contemporary new homes.

Quietly defining what a new home and neighbourhood can look like, the choice at Graven Hill is genuinely unmatched. Offering unique character that comes from a community of individually considered homes. Each home here is finished to a high-specification, reflecting how people actually want to live — fully-integrated kitchen appliances (over, hob, extractor fan, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine), turfed garden with patio area, EV charging, MVHR system, air source heat pump, underfloor heating to the ground floor and a 10-year structural warranty. All of it, included as standard.

Open green spaces, woodland, allotments, and a network of cycle and footpaths run throughout the development, and the community around them is well and truly established — with its own Esquires coffee shop, wine bar and off-licence, dental practice, and a primary school. A community centre and further retail are still to come.

And when you need the city, it's closer than you'd think — the train station is a ten-minute walk, with regular services reaching Oxford in minutes and London in around an hour. A village feel, with excellent connections.
