In cash terms the typical OX14 1 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £355,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 118%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 26% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the OX14 1 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+28.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−13.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −11.3% | −13.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | 0.0% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in OX14 1
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 59 OX14 1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 250 sales a year before the financial crisis and 174 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around OX14 1
For renting purposes OX14 1 sits in Vale of White Horse. The ONS average private rent there is £1,333 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £972 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,201 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Vale of White Horse
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £355,000 median sold price, £1,333 a month is £15,996 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How OX14 1 trades
This is a thin market: 59 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.

What you could buy in OX14 now
This is what you could actually buy today: 63 homes currently on the market from 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole OX14 district, not just OX14 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 34% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in OX
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the OX area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £390,000 | £512,000 (+31%) | £750,000 (+46%) | £1,175,000 (+57%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
