Nestled in the heart of the breath-taking Oxfordshire countryside, the Blenheim Estate is a place where history, heritage and natural beauty converge. This illustrious estate, with its sprawling gardens and Britain’s Greatest Palace, is famed for its beauty and opulence and, now, thanks to the new homes at Park View, you could soon find yourself living right on its doorstep.
Creators of high-quality homes and with a portfolio of residential, commercial, and agricultural properties under its belt as well as dedicated practices of forestry, farming, and parkland management, the estate has recently unveiled a collection of homes that is set to allow interested parties to own a slice of prime real estate in East Woodstock.
The Park View development
A landmark scheme, Park View was unveiled to much fanfare in 2020, and the latest collection of homes continue the harmonious blend of modern luxury and classic heritage.
Setting new standards that aim to integrate with the surrounding communities and blend seamlessly with the world beyond, the homes have been built in alignment with the principles of the Landowner Legacy, which recognises the social, moral and economic responsibility of landowners to create developments that the local community can be proud of.
Park View showcases how the estate’s rich history and captivating landscapes can be complemented by contemporary living. There are currently three and four bedroom homes to choose from – each offering varying layouts designed to suit everyone from couples to growing families or for a forever home.
The homes have been crafted by Blenheim Estate Homes’ long-standing development partner, Pye Homes, which was established in 1927 and is based in Kidlington, and has a recognised tradition of building high-quality new homes locally in Oxfordshire and further afield. From apartments and townhouses to detached family homes, all residences have been thoughtfully designed and offer spacious layouts, high-end finishes, and modern conveniences.
The Park View lifestyle
Life at Park View means being part of a welcoming community that places an emphasis on an enriching and fulfilling lifestyle.
Woodstock is a fine example of a historic Cotswold market town and if you’re considering making the move, then there are plenty of reasons to do so. It is home to a selection of pubs, restaurants, and quaint cafés and tearooms, as well as a string of independent and locally-run antique, clothing and interiors shops.
For families with children, the area also enjoys privileged access to some highly-regarded educational establishments, with primary and secondary schools within easy reach – and plenty of extra-curricular activities are available locally too, ranging from scouts and guides clubs to an active youth club.
There’s also plenty to do in the local area for adults; East Woodstock’s tennis and bowls clubs are a great chance to meet other sporting enthusiasts from the community and make friends whilst keeping active and there’s an outdoor pool that’s just perfect for taking a cooling dip during the warmer months of the year. Woodstock’s art galleries showcase an impressive range of contemporary and modernist art as well as more traditional art landscapes, while its museums showcase the area’s rich history. Each year, the town plays host to an array of notable music events, including Woodstock Live.
Of course, life on the impressive Blenheim Estate means you’re never far from the chance to take a captivating journey back in time. A testament to the rich British culture, the estate is steeped in years of intriguing history – so it’s perhaps unsurprising that it has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It also happens to be the birthplace of former Prime Minister Winston Churchill, one of the most influential figures in British history and every corner of the estate has a story to tell of times gone by, ready for Park View residents to discover.
The Blenheim Estate is spread over 2,000 acres of sprawling parkland and was expertly designed by the esteemed British landscape architect Capability Brown, featuring woodland, lakes and a diverse range of plants and species, amongst which to enjoy serene strolls along one of its many walking trails.
There’s plenty to make the most of during your downtime, but for those who commute further afield, Park View is conveniently located near the historic city of Oxford, making it an ideal place to take up residence if you’re looking to combine the serenity of rural living with easy access to urban amenities.
