What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Barns Lane, Burford is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 34 | 73.9% | £390,000 | £127,000 – £1,400,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Barns Lane, Burford
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 46 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.

| Freehold | 46 | 100.0% | £369,250 |

Living in Barns Lane, Burford
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Cotswold, 39.3% of 49,354 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 9.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Cotswold at £1,251 a month as of Jun 2026 — £869 for a one-bedroom home and £1,342 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £369,250 here, that rent is a gross yield of 4.07% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of OX18, 83 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 37 violent, 1 burglary, 3 vehicle-related and 14 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.0 times quieter.
Against the 90,832 residents the 2021 census counted in Cotswold, that is 0.91 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Barns Lane, Burford
The 2021 census counted 90,832 residents in Cotswold across 40,597 households. 67.3% of those households own their home and 32.7% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
13 state and independent schools have a OX18 postcode: 11 primary, 2 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Barns Lane, Burford compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Barns Lane, Burford sits above that national figure — +134.4%.
Within Burford the street ranks 31 of 58 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £335,000 (+10.2%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,051 per square metre, across 15 of the 46 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £120,000 to £1,400,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Barns Lane, Burford sits in Cotswold, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Cotswold at 13.4 times median local earnings of £33,872 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Barns Lane, Burford?
The median price paid in Barns Lane, Burford across every sale on the register is £369,250. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Barns Lane, Burford?
46 sales are on record for Barns Lane, Burford, the most recent completing on 3 Oct 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +127.0% between 2000 and 2015. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +60.1%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Barns Lane, Burford house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £420,000, set in 2015. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Barns Lane, Burford?
£2,051 per square metre, from the 15 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 3 Oct 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
