East and West Hanney
East and West Hanney, collectively known as "The Hanneys," are two charming villages in the Vale of White Horse, offering a delightful blend of history, community spirit, and modern convenience. The villages’ roots can be traced back to Saxon times, and they have retained much of their historic character, with beautiful thatched cottages, a 13th-century church, and a traditional village green.
Residents of The Hanneys enjoy a range of amenities, including two well-stocked village shops, several welcoming pubs, and a thriving village hall that hosts regular community events. The area is served by the highly-rated St. James Church of England Primary School, while secondary education is available at nearby King Alfred’s Academy in Wantage.
The villages’ location is ideal for those who value both rural tranquility and easy access to urban centers. The market town of Wantage is just a 10-minute drive away, offering a variety of shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities. For commuters, Didcot Parkway provides direct train services to London Paddington in just 45 minutes, and the A34 offers convenient road links to Oxford and the M4.
