BREXIT could destabilise house prices in 2019, but it seems likely that those at the very top of the market will retain their value.
For those looking to buy a 'dream home' this year, here are five of the most luxurious that Oxfordshire has to offer.
1. Priced at a cool £3.25 million, this eight-bedroom, 17th Century period house in Noke is on the market for the first time in 34 years.
The detached property was the residence of the famous artist William Logsdail, who lived here from 1922 - 1944. A blue historical plaque can be found on the front of the house.
There's some space to put your feet up outside, with the garden and grounds measuring around 2.68 acres and including a large sun terrace with swimming pool, lawns and paddock.
2. Also on the outskirts of Oxford is this six-bedroom property on Hid's Copse Road.
Set within 1.2 acres, the landscaping has been designed around the 'Fairy Glen' at the bottom of the garden - and the fairy theme continues throughout the house and grounds.
The enchantment may not stretch to your wallet, though, with the home priced at £2.85 million.
Bespoke features include a luxurious designer kitchen/breakfast room, generous reception rooms, spacious hallways and landings, an internal green oak frame, wide oak floors, large bedrooms and Bateau bath tubs. Fancy.
3. In Sutton, near Witney, a detached five-bed family home sits in private gardens of about half an acre - and will 'only' set you back £1 million.
The current owners of 'The Burrows' have enjoyed the house, which features an attractive leafy plummage on its walls, for the last quarter of a century.
The house itself offers spacious accommodation and a separate games room. It also boasts a 'wide and airy' entrance hall with a wooden floor; 'exposed stonework and open tread staircase'; a 33' main reception room 'for entertaining'; and a family room with stone inglenook, housing a wood burning stove in a brick surround.
Outside, the property is entered via a five-bar gate onto a gravelled drive - so you won't have to worry about parking far away from your games room.

4. In Preston Crowmarsh, near Wallingford, 'The Dorchester' is a five-bedroom detached house on an exclusive development of only three properties, called Honey Farm. You'll need sweeteners in the region of £1.35 million, of course, to own it.
Measuring just over 4,000 sqft, the property offers a large open plan living space, three bedrooms with en suites, a walk-in dressing room, a separate lounge with a fireplace and a generous double garage.
Honey Farm's properties cover the basic essentials - with under floor heating throughout, smart heating and lighting controllable from a phone or tablet, handmade staircases with glass balustrades and a fully planted and lawned garden, with Indian sandstone patios.
5. Hidden Brook, near Abingdon, is on the market for a cool £1.595 million.
The development, which includes five individually designed luxury homes, are apparently 'perfectly suited to the Svenskhomes system being used to create these unique, energy efficient homes'.
It is also located near around of the best-golfing venues in the South, offering three championship courses.
