Light, spacious, stylish and dramatic
Whitwick House and Field View are two new build homes that take inspiration from the Arts & Crafts movement in their stylish design, keeping in mind the principles of William Morris, that everything in a house should be either beautiful or useful.
The view over the skyline of Oxford is without equal. Both JMW Turner and William Turner of Oxford painted the view of Oxford from North Hinksey from near here; the phrase “Dreaming Spires” itself was coined by the poet Matthew Arnold, inspired by views from hills nearby.
Each house sits within generous, landscaped gardens and we have taken care to preserve the surrounding mature trees and hedges, to maintain existing wildlife habitats and to give a sense of privacy and seclusion.
These exceptional family homes combine architectural elegance with contemporary comfort. Behind their graceful arches and Arts & Crafts-inspired detailing lie beautifully crafted living spaces designed for modern life. Expansive kitchen, dining and living areas flow seamlessly onto landscaped gardens, creating a natural connection between indoors and out.
Every detail reflects quality and care. Bespoke joinery, refined entertaining spaces, dedicated studies and cosy snugs provide versatility for work, relaxation and family time. Each home offers five ensuite bedrooms, some with luxurious dressing rooms, and generous outdoor terraces surrounded by mature trees and thoughtfully designed gardens, offering privacy, tranquillity and a true sense of place.
Kilkenny & Gomm, excellence is our core value
Since 2004, Kilkenny & Gomm have been constructing some of the finest new build homes in Oxfordshire. We are a small team, but see this as our great strength: the continuity of process from planning through to selection of interior fittings is all handled in house.
Our carpentry division produces all our joinery, including kitchen units and features, staircases, cabinetry, bookcases and media walls.
Our focus is on excellence from commencement to completion; Director Greg Kilkenny is personally involved in every stage, working closely with trusted partners and suppliers throughout, from architects to estate agents.
He works closely with his site- and office-based teams and oversees every detail that goes into a new Kilkenny & Gomm home so that quality is maintained at every stage of construction.



A City of history, genius, and timeless charm
Oxford truly is one of the world’s great cities; sinuous streets and alleys weave through its heart, past the golden stone buildings which have produced and continue to produce some of the world’s greatest scientists, authors and politicians.
The city is home to world class museums, galleries and concert halls, to centuries-old traditions which seem to carry on in spite of the modern world, and a history which is intertwined with Kings and Queens as well as hobbits and witches.
Where history meets innovation
There are pubs where the creators of those mythical creatures, CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien, would sink a pint or two; which Presidents and Princes have frequented and where Civil War plots were hatched.
However, Oxford is also the place where cutting-edge industries and innovative startup companies emerge and become established. Research done here changes the world and improves the lives of everyone on the planet– what a place to live, to call home.
