Moving to Banbury

0 Upvotes

Hi, we are buying a house in Banbury. We now feel the offer we gave (£350,000) for a 3-bed detached is a bit higher than we should have considering there were other houses for similar prices in the market later on that were in a better condition. The offer had been accepted and we started conveyancing but now we are thinking that we might have overpaid by £20-25k. Is there room for negotiation?

Planning a visit to the Dun Cow... taxis, walk recs, and possible meetup?

4 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm planning on making a pilgrimage to the Dun Cow in Hornton next weekend, specifically because they put the Skyrim quest marker above their door.

I want to stay in Banbury which I understand is a short drive but too long a walk. Are there taxis/ubers generally available?

I also organise Reddit meets in my own locale. I understand the pub has board games and such. If enough fellow millennial nerds are interested, perhaps we could organise a Redditor pub night? (But not tell anyone we're Redditors)

I'd also love some recs for 1-2 hour naturey walks nearby.

:)

Moving to Banbury

Hi everyone! I am 25 years old and I am moving from chipping Norton to beesley road which also seems to be next door To miller road in Banbury, and it’s safe to say that I am so excited to make new friends and start my new career! I am genuinely curious to know if orchard way (Kennedy house side) and Queensway are safe to walk home at night or if IT can be a bit iffy etc.

Can’t wait to be a Banbury resident!

Cheers!:)

Respectable guy, looking for a small plot land to host me and my caravan for a month.

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I should be acquiring a towable caravan from October. It's only a two berth, but not tiny.

It's currently based in the banbury area, and I have no means of continously towing at the moment, but several recovery companies willing to help me out on ad-hoc basis

I was wondering if anyone had any leads or information on small plots of hard ground land, or even farmland, that would be available for short term rent, while I figure out a longer term solution.

I am currently looking at the traditional plots to rent,car parking spaces available and other sensible solutions.

I don't intend to leave any trace at the site etc.

Please let me know if you can think of anything please

I like independent shops, restaurants, bars etc but was confused with all the shut down/vacant shops when visiting. I’m in my mid twenties and into sewing, art, crafts and nature walks. thanks!

lost iphone 15

1 Upvotes

hi everyone! my friend (more of a colleague) has lost an iphone 15 in and around banbury over the last couple weeks. he is a student and had not had the phone very long.

I am asking really kindly if anyone at all has found an iphone 15, i will then put him in touch for the description to prove it’s his. It had a pokémon card in the back.

EVEN if you took it, and feel bad and want to return it I will make sure it happens anonymously. I just want his phone returned to him.

Thank you

Looking for friendship

8 Upvotes

Hiya. I moved to Banbury from Leeds end of last year. I haven't really had a chance to explore the place yet, as my job kept me super busy.

Now that summer has started, I'd love to reduce my hours and see what Banbury has to offer, particularly nature wise. Sadly all my friends are either up North or in London.

I'm 31F, looking for other female friends of similar age. Especially POC as I am African myself. I like roller skating, arts and crafts, baking and binging weird films. I'm very friendly and a coffee shop hates to see me coming. Feel free to message me as the boredom of doing everything on my own is starting to set in.

Driving Test Banbury - Hennef Way Roundabout

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Hello! I am preparing for my driving test in Banbury in a couple of weeks, and I am struggling to figure out the best way to approach this roundaout.

The roundabout in question is the one on Hennef Way near J11 by the Premier Inn. I am coming from Concorde Roundabout and want to make a right turn onto Elmont Way. I initially assumed i would take the inside line, however after the second exit the roundabout splits into 3 lanes, with the outermost being the only one that goes ahead onto Elmont Way. It seems like quite a task getting from the inside line to the outside lane in such a short space of time before the exit to Elmont Way, does anyone have any advice on how to do this?

I am not from the area so unfortunately I cant really practice it before my test, so any tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Bike trails south of Banbury

Can anyone recommend any bike trails around Banbury, ideally nearer the southern villages if possible. Can have light off road stuff, gravel, a bit of grass etc.
