With regular direct\ntrains to Croydon and London, Oxted is a haven for those who are after the best\nof both worlds: easy transport connections for work and a peaceful, rural\nsetting with a strong sense of community to call home. The town benefits from\ngreat transport links, pretty Tudor buildings and a wide range of high-quality\namenities and local schools, making it a great choice for both commuters and families\nalike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the average\nhouse price in Oxted in the last year coming in at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/house-prices\/oxted.html?country=england&amp;searchLocation=Oxted\">\u00a3722,072<\/a>, property prices clearly reflect the\ndesirability and great reputation of the town.
