Situation - Just 200 metres from the centre of town, this Chippenham development is in the ideal spot. A variety of local supermarkets can be found nearby and the town centre also boasts access to a local hospital and plenty of doctors surgeries. Banks, retail stores and independent shops are also in good supply and there are even regular town markets held for those looking for a taste of traditional life.

Places of interest in the local area are varied, with John Coles Park, the Museum and Heritage Centre and Chippenham Folk Festival just a few examples.
