Constructed and insulated to comfortably meet the latest standards in order to gain an A raying for energy efficiency. We have achieved this stringent new level – over 30% higher than previously – with a considerable uprating in specifications.

Oxford’s western edge lies in a loop of the River Thames with the landscape rising quickly up out of the valley in which Oxford’s iconic Dreaming Spires sit. Near the top of Harcourt Hill is Oriel House which sits on a large plot and enjoys excellent views across the city’s skyline over Raleigh Park and the water meadows around South Hinksey.
This is the perfect location for both the commute and for leisure. It is close to Oxford city and the stations in the city centre or at Oxford Parkway just a few minutes drive round the ring road. The beautiful rolling countryside of Oxfordshire is on the doorstep: sailing at Farmoor boating on the Thames as it meanders through the quiet Upper Thames Valley or exploring the ancient Ridgeway England’s Oldest road on its east-west journey over the North Wessex Downs.
The local centre at Botley has recently been redeveloped and provides a good range of shops: there are delicatessens and supermarkets including a Waitrose and surrounding villages offer some high quality dining pubs.
