Hi there, myself and DH are recently married and thinking of moving to Thame, Oxfordshire to buy our first home together. We are in our early thirties and hoping to start a family soon.
We are currently renting in North London, so we are looking forward to more space and a more tranquil lifestyle. Thame seems like a good option as it’s a pretty town, seems friendly and has good access to Oxford (where we have family) and London (where we both work).
Firstly, any advice on different residential areas / “vibes” within Thame & the best places to live? We have a budget of max £700k and are looking for 3-4 bedrooms within easy walking distance (e.g. 10 mins) of the high street. We’re pretty flexible other than that :)
Secondly, any insights on what the commute is like from Haddenham and Thame Parkway to London Marylebone? i.e. do you get a seat, do people get a bus from Thame to the train station, etc. We’ll both be commuting to London 2-3 times per week.
Any info or advice is greatly appreciated!! Thanks so much
