We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A smartly presented four-bedroom family home, finished in a contemporary style and designed around modern-day living, with bright, open spaces, quality fittings and an excellent flow from the main living areas through to the garden.
The property further benefits from a garden office pod, ideal for home working or as a flexible additional space.
The ground floor is centred around a striking open-plan kitchen and dining space, featuring a generous breakfast bar, sleek integrated appliances and full-height doors opening directly onto the patio — perfect for everyday family life and summer entertaining.
The adjoining sitting room is equally well finished, with bespoke fitted media storage and shelving, creating a calm and comfortable space to unwind.
Practicality is well catered for with a separate utility room and WC, while the layout offers flexibility for working from home or family needs.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are well proportioned and light-filled, including a principal bedroom with a modern en suite.
A further family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, and the overall finish throughout is clean, modern and move-in ready.
Outside, the rear garden offers a lovely balance of patio and lawn, ideal for outdoor dining, children’s play or low-maintenance enjoyment.
The garden office pod provides a quiet and well-separated space for working from home or creative use, while the front provides off-street parking and a welcoming approach.
Location: Langford Village is an ideal location. It’s a short walk around the corner to a cluster of shops including a Tesco Express, chemist, pub and coffee shop, next to the primary school.
About a 10-minute walk in the other direction, through green space, is Bicester Village station with trains to Oxford and London Marylebone, as well as services to London Paddington.
Alternatively, via the town centre is Bicester North station, which provides services to London within the hour, or in the other direction to Birmingham.
A few steps beyond Bicester Village station is Bicester Village itself — the world-famous designer outlet with clothing stores, restaurants and more.
Nearby, there is also a Tesco Superstore, M&S Foodhall and a Next store, among other retail outlets and eateries, as well as Bicester Avenue Garden Centre.
By car, Oxford is 15 miles away and Aylesbury 17 miles (with Waddesdon Manor on the way). The M40 is nearby at J9 or J10, leading south to the M25 and London, or north to Birmingham and beyond.
Alternatively, the A34 at J9 provides access further south. In the owner’s words: “We’ve loved living, and raising our children, in the property.
There’s a wonderful community in the cul-de-sac that we will be genuinely sad to leave behind.” Council Tax Band D- Cherwell District Council
