Foxdown Close is a development of 50 homes built in 1991 on the site of a former orchard and land adjoining Hill Farm. The entrance to the Close lies off High Street beside the Baptist Church. The development comprises a delightful mix of terraced cottages, 3, 4, and 5 bedroom houses, single bedroom coach houses, and one barn conversion. The Close is set around a "Village " Green which hosts the one remaining Bramley apple tree. And is, in effect, like a " village " within the main village This quiet, pleasant ,and popular Close, despite its discreet placement, is within 200 yards of Kidlington's shops, and bus stops, and is 5 miles from the centre of the City of Oxford. The Cotswolds, Blenheim Palace at Woodstock, and Stratford upon Avon, are all on the doorstep as too are many other places of interest. There is easy access to the M.40, A.34 and mainline railway stations at Oxford and Bicester.
The population of the Close is very cosmopolitan, with people from all walks of life and origins of nationality. It is a very welcoming and caring neighbourhood where residents are conscious of the welfare needs of their neighbours and help is always at hand for those who need it.
There is an active Neighbourhood Watch scheme which keeps residents advised of local matters , a BBQ Committee which coordinates the Annual BBQ on the Green, and a Foxdown Ramblers walking group, to which residents, family and friends, are welcome,which brings neighbours together.
