The copper-bottomed investment that Millgate built in hot-spot Oxford
Investing your money wisely is one of the toughest decisions in this current economic climate. That said, bricks and mortar remains a top choice for many and buying property in the South East of England in particular, is viewed as a relatively stable and secure place to stash the cash.
Indeed the very latest report from Knight Frank revealed that prices of prime properties, which so many in the South East are, have evened out after some small declines in the last 2 years. A bright Q1 in 2013 showed prices of prime property across the UK increasing by +0.4% with 82% of all super prime sales occurring in the South East – up from 76% in 2011.
The term “copper-bottomed” may have derived from the safest way to build a ship but it is also used to describe an investment that can be trusted completely because it is safe and certain to succeed. And so with the experts at Knight Frank tipping one special property in Oxfordshire as “copper-bottomed” this is a rare accolade.
The super prime property in question, which Knight Frank has been appointed to sell, is Highview Manor built by award-winning local developers Millgate. Perched on an elevated plot less than 3 miles outside of Oxford, this wonderful house has all the elegance of a traditional country mansion plus a whole lot more.
Damian Gray who heads up the Knight Frank office in Oxford explains why Highview is in his eyes, a copper-bottomed investment:
“Buyers looking to spend in the region of £5,950,000 want something unique and Millgate have created just that. A house like this has never been seen in the Oxford locality before – it is beautifully built, full of wonderfully thoughtful design extras that make it a cut above the rest – and the new owner will have the security of the NHBC guarantee to ensure this purchase is as secure as you can wish for in this market – a copper-bottomed investment.
“Let me give you some examples of what makes this house so special – it has a huge wine cellar which will hold 1,200 bottles, an incredible 3D surround sound cinema room complete with reclining sofas, a hard surface tennis court with its own pavilion (the pavilion has a kitchen and shower), the house has an indoor 13 metre pool, a sauna and a large pool area bar with all the facilities you would need to entertain family and friends.”
