Gowans One is an impressive and individually designed home, forming part of The Gowans, an exclusive collection of just four architecturally designed four and five-bedroom residences on the highly sought-after Cumnor Hill, Oxford built by developers Dwyer Homes.
Set apart from the other homes within the development, Gowans One is thoughtfully positioned within the landscape, surrounded by mature trees and established planting. Its south-facing gardens create a wonderfully private setting, offering a sense of seclusion rarely found so close to Oxford city centre.
The home has been designed to embrace its surroundings, with a considered layout that allows individual rooms to enjoy views across the gardens and mature greenery. Expansive glazing creates light-filled interiors, while contemporary architecture and carefully selected materials combine to deliver a home that is both elegant and practical.
At the heart of the property is an impressive kitchen and dining space extending over 30 feet in length, opening directly onto a full-width sandstone patio and the south-facing garden. The bespoke kitchen features beautifully crafted oak joinery, quartz worktops, a generous central island and a striking textured feature wall, creating a stylish yet welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining.
Further accommodation includes a separate snug and dedicated study, providing additional flexibility for family life and working from home. A substantial boot room and utility area, complete with a dedicated drying room, offers excellent practicality, alongside thoughtful additional kitchen features including a second dishwasher, InSinkErator and integrated waste bins.
The Gowans has been created by award-winning architects Palmer + Partners, combining clean architectural lines, soft buff brickwork, timber cladding and contemporary glazing to create a distinctive collection of homes naturally connected to their surroundings.
If you chose to reserve early, there is scope for further personalisation and enhancement. Personalisation is offered in three ways: Interior designer support, landscaping and a menu of optional upgrades. Interiors have been shaped from the outset in collaboration with Last Interior Design, and you can work directly with the studio to explore tailored options beyond the standard specification. Please speak to a member of the team to discuss the optional upgrades available.
The development also incorporates a range of energy-efficient technologies, including air source heat pumps and EV charging provision, supporting more sustainable modern living.
Situated on the western edge of Oxford, Cumnor Hill offers the perfect balance of a peaceful, mature setting and convenient access to Oxford's historic city centre, renowned schools, cultural attractions and everyday amenities.
