The Vines, Oxford, Victorian residence in Headington, England

The red brick building with stone dressings stands on Pullens Lane, featuring large gardens and views over the Oxford spires from its grounds.

Built between 1889 and 1890 by architect Harry Wilkinson Moore, the house was constructed for Professor Sydney Howard Vines, who held the Sherardian Chair of Botany.

The building serves as the UK center for the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities through Scholarship & Christianity in Oxford organization.

Located within a one and half acre private garden, The Vines offers a common room with library, shared bathrooms, and regular bus connections to Oxford center.

The property underwent multiple name changes, from The Vineyard to Pollock House, while serving as a Nurses Training School for the Wingfield-Morris Orthopaedic Hospital.
