Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Banbury

Banbury Worktop Information

Banbury is a market town in north Oxfordshire, on the River Cherwell, about 22 miles north of Oxford and 40 miles north-west of London. The OX16 postcode covers the main town. Banbury is famous for the nursery rhyme Ride a Cock Horse to Banbury Cross, which references the Banbury Cross at the top of Horsefair and the fine lady upon a white horse. The current cross is a Victorian replacement erected in 1859 to celebrate the marriage of the Princess Royal. The town has a Georgian and Victorian commercial character around the Market Place and Bridge Street. Banbury's Cake, a flat oval pastry with a spiced fruit filling, has been made in the town since at least the 16th century. The M40 junction 11 is immediately south of the town, giving Banbury fast access to Oxford in 30 minutes and London in around 80 minutes, which sustains a significant commuter demographic and above-average household incomes. Average house prices in OX16 run modestly below the Oxfordshire average but above comparable Midlands market towns.

Types of Materials found in Banbury

The Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the older OX16 residential streets and the post-war and newer development housing across the town form the mainstream quartz market. These are practical north Oxfordshire commuter homes where quartz suits the kitchen proportions without maintenance. Installed prices run from around £312 to £488 per square metre. Oxford businesses cover OX16 from the south via the M40 in around 30 minutes. The Georgian properties on Bridge Street and around the Market Place, and the larger detached houses in the outer OX16 residential areas, are where granite finds its Banbury market. Installed granite costs between £296 and £472 per square metre. STONE FOR THE OUTER OX16 VILLAGES: The rural Oxfordshire villages in the outer OX16 postcode, toward the Cotswold fringe and the Cherwell valley, have a premium rural market above the standard Banbury town range. Stone-built cottages and farmhouses in the outer OX16 parishes consistently favour granite or natural Cotswold limestone over laminate in kitchen renovation.
