What OX25 covers
OX25 covers the rural fringe around Bicester — the villages and settlements to the north, west, and south of the town that have their own postcodes distinct from the OX26 core. Key locations include:
- Graven Hill — the UK's largest self-build and custom-build development (~1,900 homes on former MoD land, south Bicester); OX25 2DR
- Heyford Park — former RAF Upper Heyford; 1,200+ homes built, 9,000 more consented; direct rail to Oxford and London
- Ambrosden — large village, MoD Arncott site nearby
- Middleton Stoney — village on the A4095, close to M40 J9
- Weston-on-the-Green — village with parachute centre, A34 access
- Lower Heyford / Upper Heyford — Cherwell Valley villages, station
Notable developments
- Graven Hill — self-build plots, custom homes, new builds (2–5 bed from £395k), and apartments on 188 hectares of former MoD land. 10-minute walk from Bicester Village station.
- Heyford Park — large-scale conversion of RAF Upper Heyford; community school, sports facilities, and direct Chiltern rail services. 9,000 further homes consented.
Transport
- Heyford station — Chiltern Railways; Oxford (20 min), London Marylebone (~80 min); served by the Cherwell Valley line
- Bicester Village station — 10-min walk from Graven Hill; Chiltern to Oxford Parkway (15 min) and London Marylebone (56 min)
- M40 J9 — approx. 3 miles from most OX25 locations; motorway access north and south
- A34 — south to Oxford and Science Vale; connects to M40 at Peartree interchange
Who it suits
- Self-build buyers — Graven Hill is the only site of its kind in the UK
- RAF / MoD families — Ambrosden / Arncott proximity and familiarity with Heyford
- Rural village buyers — OX25 villages offer genuine countryside character within easy reach of Bicester and Oxford
- Buyers priced out of OX26 — similar rail access, often lower prices in the villages
