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 Yarnells Hill are TRINITY HOUSE and ORIEL HOUSE, both of which sit on a large plot and enjoy 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.
