The Nurseries: New build living in quiet yet connected Oxfordshire

The Chiltern Hills and their country walks, breathtaking views and deep history are all yours if you choose one of our new homes for sale in East Hanney.

Chock full of character, the village area is an attractive place to live, and families will appreciate the quality local primary schooling right on the doorstep. Our new builds are only a couple of miles from the quaint market town of Wantage too, giving quick access to plenty of shops, primary and secondary schools, local services, and a leisure centre.

We have a range of new build properties on offer in this great location, including two, three, and four-bedroom properties. Built to a high standard, they are much more efficient compared to older properties, meaning lower running costs and a smaller carbon footprint. Plenty of options are available too: detached, semi-detached and coach house-style homes make up The Nurseries development, so whatever your circumstances or budget, there’s a set of keys waiting.

What’s close to The Nurseries?

The new homes at The Nurseries are located within walking distance of the helpful amenities in East Hanney – a community shop, farm shop, post office, the Black Horse and Plough Inn pubs, La Fontana Italian restaurant, and Hanney Spice Indian restaurant. The village is also home to a Royal British Legion club.

Enjoy walks next to the lazy waters of Letcombe Brook, which snakes its way through East Hanney, or hop in the car and explore the surrounding countryside – hills, woods, country houses and more are all a short distance drive from your Oxfordshire new build property.

Nearby Wantage has a Sainsbury's supermarket, Waitrose, B&M, Home Bargains, and garden centre. However, you’ll likely be able to get all your essentials at the local marketplace. Open Wednesdays and Saturdays, you can get vegetables, sundries, fish and meats from all across the local region.

And if you and your family fancy a day out with a little more bustle, the large towns of Swindon and Reading are close with their many high-street shops, restaurants and things to do. Oxford, ‘the City of Dreaming Spires’, is also a short drive away. Explore its many museums, including the Ashmolean Museum and the Pitt Rivers Museum of archaeology, steer a punt boat down the River Cherwell, or get lost in the Oxford Botanic Gardens and Arboretum.
