What a home in OX20 sells for
Across 31 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) OX20 home went for £455,000. The mean is £564,400, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
House prices per square metre in OX20
The last five years of sales put OX20 at roughly £5,250 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, OX20 runs 60% above it.

In cash terms the typical OX20 home went from £82,000 in 1995 to £455,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 155%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the OX20 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 2001 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−15.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 31% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £790,000 against £284,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

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 OX20
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 63 OX20 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 103 sales a year before the financial crisis and 82 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of OX20
For renting purposes OX20 sits in West Oxfordshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,277 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £934 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,041, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, West Oxfordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,277 a month is £15,324 a year, which against the £455,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.4%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
What kind of market OX20 is
This is a thin market: 63 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. Among the 26 measurable districts of its area, OX20 ranks 6 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
Common questions on OX20 (Bladon)
Are property prices falling in OX20 (Bladon)?
Is OX20 (Bladon) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in OX20 (Bladon)?
Are OX20 prices heading up or down?
No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is down 9% over five years in cash but down 28% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
When homes in OX20 change hands
March is when OX20 changes hands most (14.8% of the 514 sales dated 2021 to 2025); May is the quiet end at 5.3%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 42 | 8.2% |
| February | 37 | 7.2% |

Moving up a bedroom in OX: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the OX area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £345,000 | £390,000 (+13%) | £442,975 (+14%) | £555,000 (+25%) | £720,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £275,000 | £325,000 (+18%) | £380,000 (+17%) | £456,000 (+20%) | £599,950 (+32%) |
| Terraced | £230,000 | £295,000 (+28%) | £340,000 (+15%) | £425,000 (+25%) | £535,000 (+26%) |
| Flat | £185,000 | £239,475 (+29%) | £375,000 (+57%) | £496,225 (+32%) | £610,000 (+23%) |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

Ground the asking price in real sold prices first. The average prices map gives a rough value in a minute: start at OX20's shading and zoom to the sold homes on the street itself. Agents work from this same Land Registry record when they value; this page puts it in front of you before they arrive.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
