SITUATION    The house is superbly positioned for the town centre and is ideal for commuters requiring access to Oxford mainline station. Oxford and its range of shopping centres, restaurants and bars are available a short stroll away, including the Oxford Castle complex and Westgate Shopping centre.

The area takes its name from the parish church of St Ebbe's and was first recorded in about 1005, when the church and other nearby property was granted to Eynsham Abbey.   In 1818 gas works were built on the north bank of the River Thames to supply the city with gas. St Ebbe's expanded significantly in the 19th century, and by 1882 there was no room to expand the gas works, and new gasholders had to be built on the south bank of the river. A railway bridge (the Gasworks Bridge) was built across the river to connect the gas works to the Great Western Railway line. The area was redeveloped between the 1950s and the 1980s.
