The area where Farndon Road is located in Walton Manor was originally owned by St John's College, Oxford. Before its development for residential use, there a railway station here for the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway was proposed, but was not built. Houses in the road were first leased by the college between 1879 and 1887. Nos 10, 11, 25, and 26 were designed by the architect William Wilkinson. Nos 1–5 are by John Galpin and George Shirley and nos 18–25 are by William Wilkinson and Harry Wilkinson Moore. The houses are in a late Victorian style, semi-detached, and of substantial brick construction. A number were built by the builder John Money, who himself leased 26 Farndon Road.The Alexandra Residential Club has a building on the northern corner of Farndon Road at 133 Woodstock Road that provides affordable accommodation for about 100 young women studying or working in Oxford.

Aristotle Lane

St Philip & St James Primary School is located in Aristotle Lane, having previously below in Leckford Road to the south. The Aristotle Lane Allotments are also located here. To the north of the allotments is the Burgess Field Nature Park, formerly a landfill site. In addition, there is a recreation ground.Aristotle Lane Wildlife Corridor which is located within the residential development site of Burgess Mead is a 0.25-hectare (0.62-acre) strip of land either side of a minor drainage channel which runs for some 154 metres through the site. Included is a narrow strip of land at the northern site boundary which buffers the site from the adjacent Trap Grounds. This is an area of reed and sedge beds enclosed by damp woodland dominated by willows. Its interest includes breeding water rail, reed warbler and reed bunting and it has a certain historical ornithological value due to a past history of bird ringing at the site, as well as it being the location of a television documentary about the cuckoo. The pond/wetland created as part of the development has been successful and currently supports a dense central area of tall emergent vegetation typified by common reed and purple loosestrife, with other species at the margins including water mint and marsh marigold. The grasslands within the wildlife corridor have their origins partly in wildflower seeding and partly due to turfing (a legacy of the developers’ sales team). Seed of guaranteed native local provenance was used to create species-rich grasslands .
