Luxury Mansfield housing development takes off
High Oakham Park is being developed by Oakham Homes, a group of four local people who fell in love with the site.
At its heart is a former gentleman’s residence built by the Duke of Portland in the 1750s, and a number of other historic properties arranged around a cobbled courtyard.

Now phase two – 18 luxury bespoke homes built on individual plots around the parkland around the existing homes – has been launched.
Adrian Yeomans, one of Oakham Homes’ four directors, said: “The interest shown in High Oakham Park has been simply phenomenal. When people come and visit, they see the countryside on the doorstep and visualise living here.
“There’s no doubt it will be the address for this area. The homes that will form the first phase will be stunning and the homes as part of the second phase will be truly something else.”

“I had no doubt it would be a success but for the first phase to have been so well received is astonishing. I cannot wait to see the second phase get under way.
“New life is being brought to this part of Mansfield and it’s terrific to see.”
