Burford Worktop Information

Burford is a small market town in the Cotswolds district of Oxfordshire, on the River Windrush, about 20 miles west of Oxford and 18 miles east of Cheltenham. The OX18 postcode covers the town and the surrounding rural Cotswold parishes. Burford is sometimes called the Gateway to the Cotswolds and is among the most visited of the Cotswold market towns, with a main High Street descending steeply to the medieval bridge over the Windrush that is among the most photographed streets in England. The town has a high concentration of listed buildings, with limestone buildings of the 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries lining the High Street. Burford Parish Church of St John the Baptist was the site of the suppression of the Levellers' Mutiny in 1649, when Cromwell had three Leveller leaders shot in the churchyard. Average house prices in OX18 Burford run among the highest in Oxfordshire, with some individual properties listed by Savills at £4,000,000 and above, driven by the exceptional heritage character and the London second-home and retirement market.

The limestone townhouses on the High Street, the period properties in the Windrush valley, and the larger rural Cotswold properties in the outer OX18 area are where granite and natural Cotswold limestone find their consistent market. With Savills marketing properties in OX18 at £4,000,000 and above, the premium end of the Burford market expects natural stone as standard in kitchen renovation.

The High Street descending to the medieval Windrush bridge has a concentration of 15th to 18th-century Cotswold limestone buildings that are among the finest in England.

Natural Cotswold limestone or warm-toned granite is the appropriate kitchen specification in these heritage buildings.
