Wellesley is an exciting new neighbourhood that marks the next chapter in Aldershot’s rich history. In 2011, Grainger plc was appointed by the Ministry of Defence (DIO) to help deliver a one-of-a-kind opportunity: transforming former military land into a long-lasting and vibrant community.
With Grainger’s wealth of experience, Wellesley respects Aldershot’s proud heritage while fully embracing the needs of modern-day living. The vision is clear—to enrich the area’s strong community spirit and create a place that people feel proud to call home.
At its heart lies the sympathetic renovation of the much-loved Grade II listed Cambridge Hospital, carefully restored to retain its character while providing new life and purpose. Surrounding it, modern homes have been designed to reflect the plentiful Victorian architecture that defines the area, ensuring a seamless blend of old and new. Together with inviting public spaces, these homes form a neighbourhood built not just for today, but for generations to come.
Wellesley also offers the perfect balance between rural freedom and contemporary convenience. With superb learning and working spaces, excellent transport links, and high-speed fibre-optic broadband, residents can enjoy both connectivity and countryside in equal measure. This is more than just a new development—it is a thoughtfully designed community where heritage, modern living, and quality of life meet in harmony.
