Property market in Oxford

From remortgaging to renting out spare rooms, there are plenty of ways to find a way to make your wealth work harder for you when the time is right.
Chinnor
With the 12th-century St Andrew’s Church, the charming pubs and the close-knit community feel, the small town of Chinnor is a place many people like to call home in their later years. One can literally walk into the Chiltern Hills AONB from their doorstep, so it’s ideal for fans of long hikes across the hillsides and lazy lunches in acclaimed spots like the Sir Charles Napier and The Mash Inn.
Headington
Oxford itself is, of course, rather lovely and one of the most desirable parts of it is Headington in the eastern part of the city. It has a popular high street of its own and puts you straight into leafy suburb territory, with some fine housing and lovely outdoor space in Shotover Country Park. It’s the area of choice for those who don’t want to stray too far from the city in their retirement.
The Cotswolds
For some people, the appeal of the Cotswolds is just too much to ignore and, well, it’s easy to see why. Oxford lies only a few miles to the east of this vast swathe of grandiose countryside and picturesque villages. Some people like to nestle into the historic market town of Witney for their retirement (or Witenie, if you were to consult The Domesday Book of 1086); it sits just outside the Cotswolds and offers great access to Oxford, too.
