There are also many college and University buildings situated within easy reach.

At 1.5 miles away to the north is Oxford Park & Ride along with Parkway train station offering regular trains into Oxford, Bicester, including Bicester Village, and London.

In The Owner's Own Words:
The primary motivations for acquiring the property were:
(1) the location, particularly the proximity to an excellent school which focused on the subjects that the children were interested in,
(2) the vibrancy of the Summertown area,
(3) the access to the ring road and train which makes longer commutes easier, and
(4) the opportunity to live without having to use the car frequently apart from commuting.

The property was built to a high standard and has required relatively little maintenance. The layout has suited our family and has served us well over a dozen years.

Apart from seeing the children thriving in this environment, the other great joy of the location has been that it makes it easy to create a life where cycling, walking and paddling are natural ways to enjoy this beautiful city.
