Not been on holiday there, people happen to know live there, only polite take time to visit them from time to time. To add, certainly wouldn't want to do a daily commute to London from there.

Taxi to/ from nearest station. Dorset has similar properties too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even further to commute from......lots of holiday or weekend places I suspect everywhere......even in Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invite mates for a party on Friday / Saturday. Not too far from Soho Farmhouse etc etc if that’s the lifestyle you crave. Yes and no. The living room is definitely big enough for mates to park bicycles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in new-built houses in Kidlington, and they are absolutely tiny for what you pay. Even so, much in demand from folk who think Oxford and the area heading to west London is the bees-knees. Some nice country pub-restaurants, and I suppose convenient for Heathrow/Paddington, but a lot of delusion going on. Much better value further north in the Midlands, but I suppose proximity to the Oxford lab is what inflates prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogled Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 It’s Witney. Edge of Cotswolds #posh. In comparison to other stuff in Witney, it’s not terribly priced… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbuild boxes are in demand in most places, from those with access to 'help'.....starter homes, help keeps the prices high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17clarence Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I don’t like it. Parking motorbikes in the kitchen shows it has zero outdoor space. Also on a corner on a hill, so constant braking/revving outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
