About

Northfield Brook is a residential ward located in the east of Oxford, primarily consisting of housing estates built in the mid-20th century. The area is defined by its functional layout of streets and cul-de-sacs, with a mix of semi-detached houses, terraces, and some low-rise flats. It is bordered by the ring road to the north and east, creating a distinct boundary. Local amenities are centred around a small parade of shops and community facilities serving the immediate neighbourhood.

The ward includes the large South Oxfordshire Academy school campus and several areas of public green space, such as the linear park following the boundary. A notable feature is the presence of the Oxford East Business Centre, an industrial estate providing local employment. Public transport connections link the area to Oxford city centre and neighbouring suburbs like Littlemore. The architectural style and street patterns are consistent with post-war development in the city.
