Botley: at the corner of Church Lane and Mill Hill High Street is to the left and Winchester Street ahead. The house on the corner is one of many fine Grade II listed 18th-century houses in Botley. The bricks of the single-storey wing on the right are laid in Chinese bond - on their sides, rather than laid flat, they appear larger than bricks laid normally.
