The four prestigious detached homes which comprise the boutique development sit proudly within a renowned location, the village of Hinksey Hill with the spectacular backdrop of the Oxfordshire countryside. This area south of Oxford is renowned for this pretty villages and yet just three miles from the sophistication of the city of Oxford and its ‘Dreaming Spires’.

Little surprise then that this was just the spot where William Turner of Oxford (1789 –1862, an English painter who specialized in watercolour landscapes, sometimes knows as just Turner of Oxford to distinguish him from his namesake) chose to paint his best known work – View of the city of Oxford from Hinksey Hill.

Changing little from Turner’s time, Hinksey Hill is blessed with large swathes of open countryside and forms part of the green belt of Oxford city with ten acres currently being converted into a woodland and flower meadow in a conservation scheme.

Indeed the appeals of Oxfordshire are riding high at present with the latest Land Registry data revealing that top end property sales in 2012 within the city’s postcodes were up 129% and 21% in rural areas. This prime residential market is being driven by good schools and a plentiful supply of classic large houses. The area is awash with a selection of top notch independent and state schools such as the world famous Dragon pre-school, Cherwell School, St Ebbe’s and Headington School which are all well regarded and popular with local families.
