Life at Appletons at Kingsgrove
Education
This great new community benefits from its own purpose-built primary school, Wantage Primary Academy, which has been rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. Choosing our new homes for sale means you can benefit from having a superb educational institution right on your doorstep.
Other schools in the area include Wantage CE Primary School (2.1 miles) and Charlton Primary School (1.4 miles), both of which were rated 'Good' by Ofsted. King Alfred’s is a reputable secondary school that's been rated 'Good' by Ofsted and is only 2.7 miles away.
Our new build homes are well-placed for those with aspirations to attend university. Both the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University can be reached in around 30 minutes by car or approximately 1 hour 30 minutes when using public transport.
Leisure
There's plenty of green space and woodland to explore at Kingsgrove, along with dedicated walking and cycling routes to Wantage and the North Wessex Downs. The latter is known for its dramatic landscapes and historic landmarks.
In addition, the area around our new builds features sports and recreation areas, allotments and a community orchard. A village centre with shops, a cafe and restaurants is also just a short walk away in Kingsgrove. Living in our new build houses near Wantage also gives you access to an even wider variety of shops and outdoor markets. You can explore its historic streets while browsing independent boutiques and high-street brands. To delve into the area's history, head to the Vale & Downland Museum.
Meanwhile, the town of Didcot promises a great day out. Here, you can visit the picturesque Didcot Railway Centre for an educational day out or go shopping at The Orchard Centre, which is filled with household names such as Boots, H&M and others. Go further afield to Oxford, Swindon or Reading by catching a train from Didcot Parkway. Otherwise, these destinations can be accessed by car in under an hour from our new build homes.
Being a 30-minute drive from Oxford means you can easily enjoy an afternoon walking around the world-famous university grounds or visit museums such as the Oxford University of Natural History or the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology.
