Byron Gardens
The development
Byron Gardens is a development of two 5-bedroom detached chalet bungalows, set within a ½ acre plot with a long private drive, and built using the latest energy-efficient methods.
The plot was originally a storage depot for the US Airforce estate in Bicester, it had lain derelict and overgrown for more than 20 years before being acquired for development.
The virtually maintenance-free homes are exceptionally frugal to maintain and run, with the current owners reporting a total monthly electricity cost of £90, this is for a 2,250 sq ft property, and one owner even charges her electric car! – the low running costs are attributed to ground and air source heating, plus solar power.
