Watergates, Colerne, SN14

Setting the Scene
Nestled in the rolling countryside of Wiltshire, the highly desirable village of Colerne is brimming with timeless charm. Its pretty streets and honey-coloured stone buildings create an inviting first impression, while a rich sense of history lingers around every corner.

At the heart of village life you’ll find everything needed for easy, everyday living, a convenience store for essentials, a welcoming café, hairdressers, a post office, and the much-loved Fresh Flower Company, renowned for its beautiful bouquets. Two characterful pubs, The Fox and Hounds and The Six Bells, offer hearty food, good company, and a fine pint by the fire.

Standing proudly at the centre of it all is the village’s ancient church, dating back to 1190, a peaceful landmark steeped in heritage and a warm welcome for newcomers and long-time residents alike.

Beyond the village lanes, open countryside unfolds in every direction. With more than a dozen circular walks ranging from gentle rambles to more invigorating routes quite literally on your doorstep, there’s no shortage of ways to step outside and breathe in the beauty of nature.

Families are well served by Colerne Primary School, rated ‘Good’ by OFSTED, and there are convenient bus routes to secondary schools in both Bath and across Wiltshire.

Perfectly positioned, Colerne is especially appealing to commuters seeking the calm of village life without sacrificing connectivity. The village lies just seven miles northeast of the historic city of Bath and eight miles from Chippenham. With excellent access to the M4 motorway and rail services from Bath Spa and Chippenham stations offering swift routes to London Paddington, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: countryside tranquillity with the city within easy reach.
