Kingsmere, Countryside Properties (Bicester) Limited's development in Bicester, will be welcoming a first- class line up of retailers to its Village Centre in Spring 2019. Brands and retailers which have secured units at the commercial centre include Mid-Counties Co-op, Starfish (Fish and Chips), Domino's Pizza, Haart Estate agents, Bicester Hairdressers and Busy Bees Nursery.

The Village Centre is situated on Whitelands Way, where the commercial units are currently under construction, adjacent to the new Community and Youth Centres, which were recently handed over to Cherwell District Council and will officially open this September.

Andrew Carrington, Director of Countryside Properties (Bicester) Limited comments: “We have taken great care to design a Village Centre that will serve as the 'heart of Kingsmere', and we are delighted there will be such a tremendous line up of occupants for the use of our residents and the wider community. For a project of this scale, providing first-class amenities and a central point for residents to come together is crucial to its long-term success and vital to ensure the new community can flourish.

“The Village Centre sits centrally within Kingsmere, alongside the community and youth centres and St Edburg's primary school.  The selection of retailers will ensure that people can not only stock up on their daily essentials but also spend time socialising, relaxing and making the most of the new facilities and surroundings.”

Ed Sutton, Managing Director of LSP Developments, said: “The Village Centre at Kingsmere has a high quality, contemporary design, which will enhance the area and create a place for the local community to shop, eat and meet. The prominence, accessibility and car parking that are already included made it easy for us to find interested parties who will do very well from being centrally located in Kingsmere.”

Kingsmere is served by excellent transport connections and the development is home to a selection of house styles which have proved hugely popular for a range of home buyers.
