Occupying a private and established setting on Blacklocks Hill, just minutes from Banbury town centre and Junction 11 of the M40, the estate combines an attractive semi-rural environment with outstanding regional and national connectivity. Direct rail services from Banbury provide access to London Marylebone in under an hour, while the M40 places Oxford, Birmingham, Warwick, Milton Keynes and the wider Midlands within easy reach.

The existing accommodation offers exceptional flexibility for a wide range of occupiers, including corporate headquarters, educational and training facilities, healthcare providers, leisure operators, research and development uses, or continued office and commercial occupation. The scale of the estate, combined with multiple existing buildings and generous external space, also presents opportunities for asset management, refurbishment or redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The estate benefits from two separate access points, supporting practical movement throughout the site Westminster House is accessed from Blacklocks Hill, with an additional access to the land to the West of the site. The arrangement provides convenient access to the main office building, ancillary accommodation, storage areas and external grounds, supporting a range of operational uses.
