In cash terms the typical OX14 4 home went from £75,500 in 1995 to £410,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 150%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 27% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the OX14 4 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 1998 (+34.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−18.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −11.8% | −13.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.2% | −5.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.8% | −2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in OX14 4
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 37 sales completed in OX14 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 143 sales a year before the financial crisis and 113 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the OX14 4 market
Only 37 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OX14 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the OX14 district median, OX14 4 sits 10% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around OX14 4
For renting purposes OX14 4 sits in Vale of White Horse. The ONS average private rent there is £1,333 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £972 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,201, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Vale of White Horse
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £410,000 median sold price, £1,333 a month is £15,996 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in OX: the cost
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%) |
