How Life Works Here
Manorsfield Road is located in Cherwell, near Bicester, Oxfordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 644 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 278 violent offences were recorded (43% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 5 facilities within walking distance, including atm (1), bar (1), and cafe (1). The closest is Starbucks (cafe, 36m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 49m away. The median property price is £138,750, though prices have fallen 18% over five years. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 427m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 51 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
