Why buyers are still drawn to Oxford

Well-connected to London, Reading and Birmingham, Oxford is a natural choice for commuters and remote workers looking for a mix of culture, green space, and top-quality education. Areas like Headington, Summertown and Botley are particularly popular thanks to their schools, transport links and community feel.
