We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

Scholars Gate is a small development of mixed housing (57 houses) in a semi rural location off Sibford Road at the northern end of the village between the local primary school and Redlands Farm and Dairy unit. The housing is a mix of affordable rented properties, shared ownership properties, and private properties. All occupants pay byan annual fee to a management company which cuts the grass and maintains the public areas of the estate, including the centrally located young children's play area . The estate is generally very quiet. There is no through road. There is daytime noise from the primary school immediately to the south, and intermittent agricultural noise and odours from the farm to the north, especially when the wind blows from the north. We were aware of these issues before we bought the property. We feel the properties are well designed, modern and well insulated. All properties have access to a central tank of propane gas for heating and cooking as well as electricity

Happy with the design of the development. The green area and park in the centre are a nice addition and well designed and we look forward to utilising this space when we have children of our own. Haven’t had any experience with property or building management as of yet.

There could be more flexibility from the developer regarding fittings before final completion. Had to replace a lot of the electrical equipment with better quality units. Heating system a real problem. I want to control it, not thermostats

The building design of my shared ownership property is great. It had a much bigger garden than many other similar spec properties in other areas. The kitchen is small and I had to be creative with where to put things like a bin but the rest of the house is spacious and great. I've been in contact regarding some defects when moving in and most have been fixed. Only one outstanding.

We moved at the start of lockdown, so the building work stopped on the sight. We was left with no grass in our garden and a very poor job outside the house and in some public spaces which just looked rushed. We have no child safety on our windows and are still waiting for them to be after 2 years since moving in and have had a lot of small things that look like rushed jobs. Overall the house and location is lovely.
