Housing for sale or rent in Eynsham comes in every shape and size: check with estate agents for a full picture, as not every property has a board outside it these days.
The village has many attractions for residents and newcomers - commuting, bringing up a family or retiring. Local facilities are enhanced by a wide range of shops, schools and social activities and a good bus service.
This map indicates cafés, pubs and restaurants; amenities ranging from the allotment gardens to Dovehouse “Come and Play” (formerly Wytham View play area); and approximate ages of housing stock in different areas. There is also a street map, fully updated in summer 2012.

FEBRUARY 2012: local estate agent Mervyn Harris offers his assessment for West Oxfordshire in the coming year:
“Don’t believe all you read or see in the media! The hacks love nothing more than hammering the property market at every opportunity, at the same time trying to talk us all into a recession. We accept that wider economic issues are likely to bring with it more caution in the market but it’s not all doom and gloom - far from it! We have seen a very positive start to 2012 with considerable demand from ready, willing and able buyers, new properties coming to the market and a good number of sales already agreed, some in the first few days of marketing. It’s essential in the current climate to get the right marketing advice from an experienced local agent and above all sensible guidance on pricing. Prospective buyers now have endless facts & figures at their fingertips and have a fair understanding of the local market place. Starting with an un-realistic asking price will only see the property go stale on the market whilst others around it generate interest and ultimately sell.”
