The Gowans is an exclusive collection of four substantial homes in West Oxford.
4 & 5 bedroom homes
From 3,390 to 4,219 sq. ft.
Situated on the highly sought after Cumnor Hill, this stunning new flagship development offers contemporary and refined living in an unrivalled leafy suburb.
The architecture, created in collaboration with award-winning architects Palmer + Partners, combines soft buff brickwork, natural vertical timber cladding and slimline aluminium-framed glazing within a mature landscape of established trees and hedging.
The result is a refined interpretation of rural contemporary architecture, defined by strong lines, natural materials and generous light-filled spaces. Drawing on a fabric-first approach, the homes are designed to exceed current energy-efficiency standards.

Location
Cumnor Hill, a prestigious Oxford residential address
Occupying a privileged position on the city’s western edge, it is characterised by treelined roads, substantial detached homes and an abundance of mature greenery that create an exceptional sense of privacy.
Set just two miles west of the historic centre of Oxford and only a 50 min train ride from central London, the Gowans are nestled in a tranquil, natural landscape. Few locations offer such unparalleled access to Oxford’s cultural heart and the timeless appeal of the surrounding English countryside
Our APPROACH
Our approach brings together volume, light and function, with considered textural details adding elegance and purpose.
Inspired by Japandi style and developed in collaboration with Last Interiors Design - recently featured in Enki magazine, The Gowans bring together the traditional warmth and comfort of Scandinavian design with the minimalism and practicality of Japanese living.
The generous open-plan layout is enhanced by full-height windows and large sliding doors opening onto planted terraces and the garden beyond, drawing the outside in and allowing light to move freely through the rooms.
Soft neutral walls, natural-toned carpets and generous storage create calm, considered spaces, with secluded views drawing the landscape gently in.
