About

Oxhey sits immediately to the south of Watford town centre, bordered to the south by the South Oxhey estate. The area is largely residential, with a mix of terraces and semi-detached houses lining streets such as Oxhey Road and Oxhey Lane. A compact parade of shops and cafés serves day-to-day needs and local buses run through the neighbourhood, providing links into Watford and points beyond. The street pattern changes from short terraces to larger plots as you move away from the main road, and a railway corridor runs close to the western edge of the area.

Green space is part of the local fabric: Oxhey Park provides open ground and tree-lined paths that are used for informal sport and dog walking. Local schools, a primary church and community halls host regular activities that cater to families and older residents. Property types and plot sizes vary enough that the area has a range of household sizes and tenures, while being within easy reach of Watford town centre’s shops and services.
