Location

Wantage is a historic Oxfordshire market town, famous as the birthplace of King Alfred the Great, which combines rural charm with a good range of modern amenities. The town centre offers a traditional market town experience, with local independent boutiques and cafes mixed with High Street shops and supermarkets. There are good schools in the area including Stockham Primary School, Wantage Primary Academy, and King Alfred's Academy. While Wantage does not have its own train station, it is served by regular bus services to Oxford, Didcot, and Abingdon and is well-connected by road via the A34 and M4, and therefore has easy access to the nearby Didcot Parkway station. Situated in the Vale of White Horse, the town offers immediate access to the Ridgeway National Trail, and has plenty of options for walking and cycling in the surrounding Oxfordshire countryside.
