2 3 1 REDEFINING TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY LIVING 2 3 4 5 AN EXCEPTIONAL LIFESTYLE Escape to Elmsbrook for a life of idyllic luxury amongst some of Oxfordshire’s most beautiful countryside to live in a contemporary home designed for the future and offering a whole new standard in sustainable living. Step into a rural haven where almost half of your environment will be dedicated to green space, and cycling to work beneath a canopy of leaves is a reality. A place where you can explore the picturesque surrounding villages or enjoy dinner in a local Michelin-starred restaurant. Relax into an effortless pace of life surrounded by wide skies and green open spaces, made all the sweeter by knowing you’re still within easy reach of some of England’s most vibrant cities. 6 7 BICESTER N.W BICESTER 25-YEAR MASTERPLAN EVOLVING DESIGN Over the next 25 years the face of North West Bicester will be transformed with Elmsbrook leading the way in this exciting initiative. With a focus on tailor-made living, the overall vision will provide 6,000 beautifully designed homes across 1,000 acres. The North West Bicester masterplan will, on completion, offer an intelligently planned vibrant townscape. This new class of urban living will include a high-spec business centre for homeworkers as well as entrepreneurs and small businesses, a state-of-the-art health practice, quality schools and nurseries, cafés and delicatessens, tempting eateries and regular markets full of fresh local produce. Life is better when you have space to breathe: that’s why, in addition to generous gardens, 40% of your environment will be given over to dedicated green space, including allotments, play areas, sports and recreational facilities, a country park, a community farm, and acres of interconnecting walking and cycle paths. Elmsbrook’s cutting-edge, true zero-carbon homes, of which there will be 393 built over four phases is the first stage in this ambitious development.

Set deep in the heart of Oxfordshire, surrounded by charming villages and undulating valleys, this beautiful area of quintessential British countryside is renowned as one of England’s most unspoilt regions. Yet this rural retreat is ideally located in the centre of the country: London is less than an hour by train and Birmingham is a little over sixty minutes. Oxford is only twenty minutes by car. 14 15 9 A421 11 DEDDINGTON M40 LOCAL DISTRACTIONS EATING & DRINKING 10 7 16 1 BIRMINGHAM 5 JAMIE OLIVER’S FABULOUS VIRGIN BALLOON FLIGHTS ASHMOLEAN MUSEUM OF 74 mins 1 FEASTS Hot air balloon rides over ART AND Archaeology Ethically and sustainably sourced picturesque Oxfordshire from The world’s first university WINSLOW THE MUDDY DUCK seasonal menus Bicester Airfield museum built in 1678 Large-terraced pub and restaurant 15 mins 8 mins 6 mins 3 mins 72 mins 26 mins UPPER HEYFORD STEEPLE CLAYDON 18 mins 9 mins 11 8 GREEN SPACES 2 BELMOND LE MANOIR AUX BICESTER HERITAGE QUAT’SAISONS UK centre of excellence for NUT TREE INN Raymond Blanc’s two Michelin vintage motoring and aviation in 1 7 10 Family run Michelin starred star Restaurant and Hotel a restored RAF base restaurant MERTON WOOD 2 70 mins 25 mins 6 mins 3 mins Woodland home to deer and 8 45 mins 18 mins 4 hares 3 12 9 33 mins 12 mins BICESTER 6 3 CHERWELL BOATHOUSE LONDON RALLY SCHOOL 8 MARSH GIBBON THE BLACK SHEEP 2 A44 Acclaimed restaurant set in a Offers a superb range of tried 2 Pub specialising in using local stunning riverside location and tested rally experiences 5 produce GARTH PARK 12 69 mins 26 mins 17 mins 8 mins 9 acres of parkland and formal 33 mins 11 mins gardens 7 9 10 LEISURE 10 11 mins 7 mins 13 4 KIRTLINGTON GREAT MOOR THE MANOR SAILING CLUB 3 A41 900-year-old country house 1 Based on the beautiful Grebe 3 hotel MIDDLETON PARK 6 BLENHEIM PALACE Lake 630 acre park of which 200 34 mins 11 mins 4 18th Century Baroque palace set 47 mins 17 mins acres are ancient woodlands in beautiful gardens 22 mins 9 mins 6 5 5 63 mins 22 mins 11 THE CHEQUERS deddington 4 WESTON-ON-THE-GREEN 1 Family-friendly traditional English 2 farmer’S MARKET BURE PARK NATURE 8 country inn WOODSTOCK ROUSHAM HOUSE One of the largest farmer’s RESERVE 32 mins 10 mins markets in the country WADDESDON Unspoilt landscaped and walled Meadows, ponds and rivers play gardens 54 mins 17 mins host to an abundance of wildlife 1 A34 4 6 43 mins 19 mins 5 mins 2 mins HAMPERS FOOD 12 & WINE 3 BICESTER VILLAGE 5 KIDLINGTON 2 Bijoux café selling quality food A shopping heaven with leading and wine BOARSTALL TOWER STOKE WOOD 3 A 14th-century moated fashion and lifestyle brands Delightful ancient wood 60 mins LONG HARNBOROUGH BRILL 22 mins gatehouse 12 mins 6 mins with carpets of bluebell in 12 52 mins 16 mins the spring 7 13 mins 5 mins 13 FARM SHOP 4 Fresh and locally grown BICESTER AVENUE 6 YARNTON OAKLEY produce, meat and wine WADDESTON MANOR Outdoor mall with home and Magnificent house and grounds garden shops plus dining SHEEPHOUSE WOOD in the style of a 19th-century Large woodland of 7 18 mins 7 mins 15 mins 8 mins A40 French chateau ancient oak 72 mins 24 mins 64 mins 23 mins 8 14 A418 WITNEY PREZZO 5 THE NEW THEATRE OXFORD 7 EYNSHAM Contemporary Italian restaurant 1800 capacity commercial located in Bicester Village BICESTER HOTEL, theatre bernwood FOREST Large woodland with butterfly OXFORD 10 mins 4 mins GOLF & SPA 73 mins 29 mins LONG CRENDON Located within 134 acres of trail in summer 35 mins M40 countryside and gardens with an 20 mins 58 mins 9 18 hole golf course 15 VILLANDRY 16 mins 6 mins UNIVERSITY MUSEUM OF 8 15 Atmospheric Grand Café NATURAL HISTORY particularly good for breakfasts 6 A museum displaying many of wychwood national 16 LONDON 15 mins 7 mins the University of Oxford’s natural nature RESERVE 46 mins KIRTLINGTON GOLF CLUB history specimens The largest continuous area of ancient broadleaved 14 THAME Imaginatively designed and 71 mins 27 mins WHEATLEY expertly maintained 9 and 18- woodland STANTON HARCOURT hole golfing venue 136 mins 40 mins 41 mins 16 mins CUMNOR = 1KM 11 16 A FINER QUALITY OF LIFE At Elmsbrook, world-class food choices are close at hand, either at one of the many noted country pubs such as The Fox at Souldern or the Michelin starred restaurant, the Nut Tree Inn, at Murcott.

That Elmsbrook has received this award in the UK underlines just how unique it really is. Bioregional’s One Planet Living recognises those places that are driven to reduce their impact on the environment. At Elmsbrook, this is at the heart of everything we do. Computer generated image 26 27 THE IDYLLIC OUTDOORS The beauty of the surrounding Cotswolds and Oxfordshire countryside has been our inspiration for dedicating so much to green space. The end result will be an idyllic vision with landscaped parks and playgrounds, an orchard and allotments, gardens that can support own-grown produce and a fruit tree for every home.
