The birthplace of King Alfred the Great in 849, Wantage has maintained its market-town character across twelve centuries at the foot of the Berkshire Downs in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire. Around 13,000 people live in the town today.
Didcot Parkway, a short drive north, offers GWR services into Oxford in around twelve minutes. Wantage's established residential streets are among the most sought-after pockets for primary catchments in the Vale, and the neighbouring settlement of Grove, along with the village of East Hendred to the east, draws families seeking strong local provision in a rural setting.
