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.Council Tax Band F - Oxford City Council
