  • Vale of White Horse
    Chapter 10 Vale of White Horse Background The Vale of White Horse has a population of 116,000. Abingdon has the largest population of approximately 31,000, Cumnor and Botley, suburbs of Oxford located within the Vale of White Horse administrative area, together have a population of approximately 10,000, Wantage, Grove and Faringdon have populations of 10,000, 8,000, and 6,000 respectively. The Vale of the White Horse borders Swindon, a major urban centre to the south west and has good links to the national trunk road network. Consequently around 13% (slightly below the average for the county) of the Vale of White Horse’s workforce travel outside Oxfordshire to work. There were 60,000 people in employment living in the Vale recorded in the 2001 census; these people usually travel to work by the following modes: Train Bicycle Other 2% 7% 1% Bus, Mini-bus or coach 5% Car passenger 5% Work from home 11% Car driver 61% On foot 8% Development Challenges in the Vale of White Horse The Vale of White Horse is an attractive place to live and work, and its location and transport links make it a good place for businesses to invest. Pressures from both housing and employment growth in the district are likely to pose significant challenges for transport in the next five years, Page 207 Oxfordshire Local Transport Plan 2006-11 particularly in Wantage and Grove, where some of the most significant housing growth in the district is planned. If Thames Water take forward plans, in the longer term, for a new reservoir between Abingdon and Wantage, the transport impacts of this will need to be assessed and any necessary improvements implemented.

  • Daisy Cottage Childrey, Wantage, Oxfordshire OX12 9UT
    Daisy Cottage Childrey, Wantage, Oxfordshire OX12 9UT Daisy Cottage , Childrey, Wantage, Oxfordshire OX12 9UT A high quality bespoke designed detached house enjoying one of the best positions in this popular village. The house has two en-suite bedrooms and three separate reception rooms including an oak conservatory. The gardens are small and low maintenance creating a luxury home that is easy to run or leave safely for months at a time. Chain free sale. Without a full inspection the detail with which Daisy Cottage has been built is not easy to appreciate. Designed and constructed in 2003 the house is built in natural stone with concrete floors even at first floor providing excellent sound insulation. The under floor heating has individual room thermostats and is fired by the Alpha central heating boiler and stove. Oak has been the favoured wood with which to build as can be seen right from the attractive oak porch and front door. To either side at ground floor are traditional stone mullion double glazed bronzed window frames. Quality living and ease of operation has been the brief and this is evident from the open, light and spacious feel to the accommodation and the extra investment made when the house was built. Villavent air management system, 5 amp lighting circuits, and cast iron rainwater goods have all been employed. The wide garage has an electrically operated oak door and is connected to the main house to save having to ever get wet in the rain. Daisy Cottage enjoys a semi-elevated position with a private driveway for several vehicles.
