Vistry, the UK’s leading provider of mixed-tenure homes, has secured a new land parcel at Kingsgrove in Wantage that will deliver 129 homes.
In line with the Group’s partner delivery model, Vistry has partnered with large housing provider Abri, to forward sell the homes which will then be delivered in 100% affordable tenures. To achieve this, Abri will combine its own investment with grant funding from its Strategic Partnership with Homes England, the government’s housing and regeneration agency.
The scheme marks another occasion where Abri and Vistry are working in partnership, having already successfully delivered many hundreds of homes across the South of England.
The site benefits from Reserved Matters consent obtained in December 2025. Construction work is expected to begin this spring.
All of the homes will be constructed using timber frames sourced from Vistry Works, the Group’s manufacturing arm that utilises modern methods of construction to deliver homes faster.
Ross Heriot, Senior Land Manager from Abri said: “Our partnership with Vistry has already delivered hundreds of high-quality homes, and this latest phase at Kingsgrove is another great example of what we can achieve together. Working with trusted partners like Vistry enables us to make a real difference for communities, helping more people access sustainable and affordable homes. We’re excited to build on this momentum in 2026 with the rollout of Abri’s bold and ambitious new corporate strategy for 2026–2031.”
Supriya Ray, Regional Managing Director of Vistry Cotswolds, said: “We’re delighted to be strengthening our partnership with Abri through this latest phase at Kingsgrove. Delivering the site as a fully affordable development will have a significant impact on the area’s affordable housing supply, whilst we’re also utilising Vistry Works to deliver the homes quickly and sustainably, maximising the strengths of the Group.”
