Yellow Fields

Development Overview

Yellow Fields is a new build homes development by Bellway, situated within the wider Kingsgrove master plan in Wantage, Oxfordshire (OX12 7GZ). The Kingsgrove site is a significant, phased community project delivering approximately 1,500 new homes, alongside extensive public and community facilities. Yellow Fields specifically focuses on a collection of contemporary 3 and 4-bedroom houses, designed to cater to both families and commuters seeking new homes in the Vale of White Horse area. Current available properties at Yellow Fields start from approximately £420,000 for a three-bedroom home, with four-bedroom detached houses priced from approximately £630,000 to £635,000. The development is overseen by Bellway, a FTSE 250 company and a recipient of the HBF 5-star builder status for nine consecutive years. The on-site construction quality is independently recognised, with the development's site manager, Benjamin Miles, having received an NHBC Pride in the Job Award.

Property Details

The current selection of new build homes at Yellow Fields includes a mix of semi-detached and detached house types, predominantly offering three and four bedrooms. Examples of available plots include The Harper, a three-bedroom semi-detached home starting from £420,000, and The Weaver, a four-bedroom detached home priced from £630,000. While the properties are generally sold on a Freehold basis, homeowners should note that an annual Estate Management Charge is applicable for the maintenance of communal areas within the Kingsgrove development, with sample charges ranging from approximately £372.95 to £497.26 per annum, subject to the specific plot. Internal specifications are in line with modern new build standards, including energy efficiency and a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty.

Location Benefits

Kingsgrove offers integrated community amenities designed to support the new neighbourhood. The on-site Wantage Primary Academy opened in September 2020 and caters for 420 pupils plus a 26-place nursery. The development’s Neighbourhood Centre is currently in development but features an already-open convenience store, a public square, and a Woodland Walk (open since 2021). Further plans include a community building, a pub/restaurant, and additional retail space. The historic Wantage Town Centre, home to Memorial Park and the Wantage Leisure Centre, is also within easy reach.

Transport links facilitate commuting to major regional hubs. The main arterial road connection is the A34. The closest mainline rail station is Didcot Parkway, approximately 45 minutes away by bicycle from Kingsgrove. For public transport users, a bus and rail connection from Wantage to Reading takes approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes. Direct bus services, such as the Stagecoach S9 route, run from Wantage (e.g., Seesen Way) to Oxford (Osney Island), with a journey time of approximately 49 minutes.

Practical Information

The development is currently in an active sales phase, offering 3 and 4-bedroom new build homes ranging from £420,000 to £635,000.
