Wolvercote Mill, OX2

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The area is great, lots of open spaces for walks and running etc. the neighbourhood is very friendly and there’s no traffic noise. Transport links are great as you can cycle or take a bus although the bus is always late or doesn’t show up. There are lots of beautiful pubs but it would be nice to have a coffee shop as well.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The neighbourhood is very friendly and the houses are well built. I wish I knew there would be parking issues i.e. people parking in our private parking spaces

What is the best feature of your home:

We have a garden and the layout of the house is great. The neighbours are very friendly

Living near North Oxford, we are easily able to travel into and out Oxford using public transport and the bus stop located in our development. Wolvercote village is a small friendly community that caters to all in the development. The only negative are the roads that contain too many potholes for regular commuters

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

That we needed to purchase carpet flooring ourselves as it is needed for our household

What is the best feature of your home:

The viewing scenery available to our apartment on the balcony

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

There is only one local shop with unaffordable for average family of 5 prices. There are 3 pubs nearby so a good enough variety. There are 2 open spaces with cows and horses for the cow lovers e en thoug I'm not one my children are enjoying it. There are also many ducks and some swans during the winter showing up at the pond. A new bus stop was established next to our house but recently the number of buses has been significantly reduced by nearly 50%. At the beginning the buses were fine but nowadays there is only only one bus in the mornings between 8 and 10 which is really ridiculous as I can never get to worn on time. There is bin collection on my street but the number of the Bins does not reciprocate with the number of the habitats who are supposed to use them. Another disappointment is that there are no garden Bins and bare in mind that every house in that development has a garden and pays council tax that is over 3.5k pounds. The lamp that is supposed to work in our parking has never ever worked and there has been accidents in the dark because people cannot see the other cars when they park their own car including my car which was crashed into. The only good thing is there is no traffic noise. There is also no designated area for children cycling or ball games and children do those activities but on the roads without supervision which creates sometimes traffic chaos and is a hazard for a traffic road accident.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I did not like that we had no flooring on the second floors and stairs- this means we needed to be financially well prepared and to afford to live somewhere while the renovations of the already newly finished house were still going.

What is the best feature of your home:

The size of the open space downstairs is quite good. The fact that there are two WCs in the house.

One of the best areas in Oxford to live with nice pubs, friendly community, Port Meadow. Parking can be an issue and I believe bays should be marked private or allocated parking to deter people from parking in other people's parking spaces. The bus service can be hit and miss with lots of cancellations.
