28 Countryside - South Oxhey
have made South Oxhey a desirable place to live , work , and socialise .
Phase 3 focuses on delivering a further 345 new homes , bringing the total number of homes delivered by the end of the project to over 800 . The emphasis is on creating a balanced blend of housing , including affordable housing options , to ensure the development meets the needs of a wide variety of residents .
What sets Phase 3 apart is its attention to architectural detail . Using a simple yet high-quality material palette of light and dark bricks , the development offers a harmonious blend of contemporary design and homage to local architectural traditions .
With subtle brick detailing , textured metalwork , and elegant balcony balustrades , the buildings will offer balanced proportions , while remaining true to the domestic scale of the area ’ s secondary streets . This design choice maintains active frontages and ensures that the development feels connected to the existing urban fabric .
Beyond the impressive architecture , the new homes in Phase 3 will be accompanied by high-quality green amenity spaces . Landscaped podiums within residential blocks will help minimize the visibility of car parking and hard surfaces , creating a greener and more inviting atmosphere . These green spaces are designed not just as decorative elements , but as functional , community-oriented spaces that foster social interaction and outdoor activity .
Phase 3 also addresses the urgent need for affordable housing . The scheme will increase the provision of affordable homes , ensuring that more families and individuals can benefit from living in this revitalised area .
Work on this latest phase has seen the Site Manager on the South Oxhey development , Pavel Vassiljev , become the well-deserved recipient of an NHBC Pride in the Job Award – the accolade underscores the high standards and dedication that underpin this project .
