Having lived in Oxfordshire for over 30 years, I have built an unrivalled knowledge of the local area — from the finest schools and leisure destinations to everything in between. My background in sales, marketing and styling gives me a unique edge, allowing me to present every home at its absolute best while delivering the exceptional, personalised service that every client deserves. Property is my passion, and that enthusiasm shines through in everything I do.

At By Design, I made a conscious decision to work with only a handful of clients at any one time — because truly outstanding service cannot be rushed. Every client receives my complete focus and round-the-clock attention throughout every step of their property journey. When I'm not working, you'll find me keeping fit, walking my beloved Hallie, socialising and entertaining, or cherishing time with my two wonderful daughters.

About North Oxfordshire

About North Oxfordshire

Sitting at the northern edge of Oxfordshire, this area combines market town vitality with some of England's most characterful countryside. Banbury is a bustling commercial and retail centre at the edge of the Cotswolds, set amidst gently rolling hills, with attractions including the historic Market Place, St Mary's parish church and the Oxford Canal running through the heart of the town. Whether buyers are drawn by the area's connectivity, its schools, its community feel, or simply the appeal of stone villages and open countryside, North Oxfordshire consistently delivers a premium quality of life.

Local amenities

North Oxfordshire offers a genuinely impressive range of everyday amenities, anchored by Banbury as the area's principal market town. The town centre blends modern conveniences with historic charm, featuring an array of shops, restaurants and markets, while Castle Quay Shopping Centre alongside independent boutiques provides a diverse shopping experience. Beyond the high street, villages such as Deddington and Hook Norton maintain their own character, with farmers' markets, post offices, health centres, libraries and traditional pubs serving tight-knit rural communities throughout the district.

Leisure and activities

Residents of North Oxfordshire enjoy a wealth of leisure options, from town based facilities to the outstanding natural landscape on their doorstep. In Banbury, The Light entertainment venue offers a seven-screen cinema, bowling, a retro arcade and a climbing centre, alongside a choice of canalside restaurants and bars. The wider countryside provides equally compelling leisure, with golf clubs, walking routes through the Cotswold fringes, and the Hook Norton Brewery drawing visitors to the area. Chipping Norton itself supports golf, rugby, football, cricket and bowls clubs, as well as hosting annual literary, music and jazz festivals.

Transport links

North Oxfordshire is exceptionally well connected for both commuters and those travelling further afield. Banbury's train station is a short distance from the town centre, with trains serving London Marylebone every 30 minutes and reaching the city in around an hour, while regular northbound services call at Leamington Spa, Solihull and Birmingham. By road, Banbury sits just off Junction 11 of the M40, providing straightforward access to major routes and making it a practical base for commuters travelling across the country. Oxford, the Midlands and beyond are all within comfortable reach.
