Grove has grown significantly over recent decades and today functions as a seamless extension of Wantage. The village shares the OX12 postcode, giving residents access to all Wantage schools, shops and amenities while typically offering more spacious modern homes at competitive prices.
Grove is particularly popular with families due to its excellent primary schools — including St John's CE Primary and St Helen & St Katharine feeder — modern housing stock and good road links via the A338 and A417.
