Oakgrove Village is a thriving community boasting a Waitrose, a dental practice, a Metro Bank and a Costa Coffee.

“Oakgrove Village has seen tremendous interest since launch and it is no surprise to see property values continue to rise. The area offers great value to fist time buyers, families, down-sizers and investors alike.
