DROPSHORT FARM CHILDREY • OXFORDSHIRE
Childrey village
DROPSHORT FARM Childrey is a fine example of an English village: with its long main street, parish church, village green with a pond and a pleasant assortment of period cottages, it nestles comfortably at the foot of the Downs on the edge of the Vale of White Horse. The Vale is a mainly agricultural landscape, steeped in rich history: the White Horse, from which the area takes its name, dates back to prehistoric times; Alfred the Great of Wessex was born in nearby Wantage in 849 AD, and Childrey itself has strong Civil War connections. Dropshort Farm is a new development of just four beautifully designed and constructed homes, which blend with the character of the village and take their place at the heart of the community.
ABOVE Childrey is one of the prettiest of Oxfordshire’s Downland villages.
WELCOME HOME At Belmark Homes, we make sure that everything we build is of the highest quality. Quality not only in the design, materials and methods of construction, but in the details too: the oak and glass staircases, the
‘
choice of Siemens appliances for the kitchen and the extra touches we add, such as colours from the Paint and Paper Library range and the wet room-style bathrooms.
The homes at Dropshort Farm are designed to have their own style and to blend with the
environment around them, taking their cues from the ancient tithe barns of the
region and bringing the design right up to date.
We are very happy with our Belmark house. It is light, airy, well designed and a delight to live in. The finish is of a very high standard and the fittings are first class.
PURCHASER, RIDGEWAY HOUSE, CHILTON
We build our homes for the
future, aiming to reduce their
carbon footprint and running costs. The homes at Dropshort Farm feature Mitsubishi air source heat pumps, and high specification insulation throughout.

ADDITIONAL BUILD OPTIONS
Triple garage
Subject to stage of construction, we are able to offer different layout options for the first floor of Hawkswood for buyers who require extra living space in place of the void over the dining room. These options are at extra cost; please discuss them with our selling agents. The addition of either of these options would add 19.3 sq m (208 sq ft) to the gross internal area.
