Birthplace of famed monarch King Alfred the Great, Wantage is a town steeped in history. This history can be seen in the statue dedicated to King Alfred, commissioned by Lord Wantage in the 19th century, as well as at the Parish Church. Deeper study can also be completed at the Vale and Downland. This museum gives guests an insight into the past and present culture of the town.
More active pursuits can also be undertaken in Wantage, including cycling as part of the Corallian Cycling Club, undertaking swimming and fitness classes at Wantage Leisure Centre, and visiting Betjeman Millennium Park for a day out. A chalkstone stream can also be found at Letcombe Brook, and this is a rare sight for the public.

Local Shopping
Named as Britain's Best Town Centre in 2014, Wantage has the shops you'd expect from a town this size. The difference between this and other nearby locations, is that a quality shopping experience is created without compromising the area's rural aesthetic. Major high street stores, including travel agents, fashion outlets, and health stores, are complemented by independent shops run by local people.
For dining, there's plenty of choice for homeowners. Exceptional Italian food is available from La Fontana and the Wildwood Restaurant, while Masooms is a premier destination for India-inspired dishes. Well-known food outlets can also be found in the award-winning town centre.

About Developer
A REPUTATION YOU CAN RELY ON
Over 75 years of great homes and great service
When it comes to buying your new home it is reassuring to know that you are dealing with one of the most successful companies in the country, with a reputation built on designing and creating fine houses and apartments nationwide backed up with one of the industry’s best after-care services.
In 1946 John and Russell Bell, newly demobbed, joined their father John T. Bell in a small family owned housebuilding business in Newcastle upon Tyne. From the very beginning John T. Bell & Sons, as the new company was called, were determined to break the mould. In the early 1950s Kenneth Bell joined his brothers in the company and new approaches to design layout and finishes were developed. In 1963 John T. Bell & Sons became part of the public corporate scene and the name Bellway evolved.
Continuing growth
Today Bellway is one of Britain’s largest house building companies and is continuing to grow throughout the country. Since its formation, Bellway has built and sold over 100,000 homes catering for first time buyers to more seasoned home buyers and their families. The Group’s rapid growth has turned Bellway into a multi-million pound company, employing over 2,000 people directly and many more sub-contractors. From its original base in Newcastle upon Tyne the Group has expanded in to all regions of the country and is now poised for further growth.
Our homes are designed, built and marketed by local teams operating from regional offices managed and staffed by local people. This allows the company to stay close to its customers and take key decisions about design, build, materials, planning and marketing in response to local and not national demands. A simple point, but one which we believe distinguishes Bellway.
