Buying property in Oxfordtoggle-icon

In the surrounding areas, the choice is eclectic, ranging from Cotswold stone farmhouses near Abingdon to period cottages in villages around Bicester. Our deep local knowledge enables us to match buyers with their ideal homes, considering factors such as proximity to esteemed schools, transport links, and local amenities.

Oxford in 60 secondstoggle-icon

Founded around the 12th century, Oxford University is among the most prestigious in the world – and the oldest in the English-speaking world. The city is famed for its breathtaking architecture, with iconic landmarks such as the Radcliffe Camera, the Bodleian Library, and Christ Church College forming part of its rich historical tapestry. Oxford offers a high quality of life, combining a vibrant academic community with a thriving arts and cultural scene. The Ashmolean Museum, Sheldonian Theatre, and Oxford Playhouse host world-class exhibitions and performances, while the city’s numerous bookshops, cafés, and independent boutiques contribute to its unique charm. Oxford is also home to excellent schools, making it an attractive destination for families. Beyond the city, Oxfordshire boasts stunning countryside, fringed with chocolate-box villages, including Woodstock – home to Blenheim Palace – and Burford, often called the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds.' Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy walking in the rolling Cotswold hills, punting along the River Thames, or exploring the historic market towns of Henley-on-Thames and Abingdon. Oxford also benefits from excellent transport links, sitting neatly between London, Birmingham, and Bristol. Fast train services to London Paddington and Marylebone take less than an hour, while the M40 motorway offers easy access to the Midlands and the South East. With its combination of history, culture, and connectivity, Oxford remains one of the UK’s most desirable places to live.

Harry Shepard spent over a year and a half helping my wife and me find the perfect home in the Cotswolds. Many agents would have lost patience or moved on long before we completed our search, but Harry never did. He remained committed, thoughtful, and consistently proactive throughout the entire process. Harry has a deep and nuanced understanding of the Cotswolds market and an exceptional ability to match the right buyer with the right property. His local knowledge, sound judgement, and calm guidance were invaluable, particularly when navigating the complexities that come with buying in this part of the country. We always felt that Harry had our best interests at heart, and his professionalism and integrity stood out at every stage. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any seller or buyer looking for outstanding representation in the Cotswolds.

I have today completed the sale of my cottage in Oxfordshire -helped in great measure by Oxford Partner ,Harry Sheppard. From the beginning Harry has been easily available and always returned my calls. He achieved the price I set for him and has been an absolute tower of strength; always demonstrating great integrity and instilling confidence. He has moved easily between buyer, seller and solicitors, smoothing the way and often providing information when no one else seemed willing. I am incredibly grateful for his service and could not recommend him more highly.

Outstanding service and communication from Olly Saxton at Knight Frank in Oxford. After meeting with Penny Sinclair and Savills, we chose Olly because of his personable approach and clear, straightforward advice. He guided us on timing and explained each stage of the process with great clarity. The sale was agreed smoothly within the first week, and we had complete confidence in his judgement through to completion. We felt he judged everything perfectly, and we would not hesitate to recommend him.
