 Located in the quiet heart of Whitley village, this property is a hop, skip and a jump from all the amenities. Unusually for a small village, there is lots going on with 2 options for churches, a local village shop where you can volunteer if you have some spare time, a café and excellent pub in The Pear Tree Inn. A popular school is close by at Shaw with a golf and cricket club a short walk away. The renowned Lowden garden centre, farm shop and restaurant is around a mile away and you can even walk across the fields to buy your Sunday joint on a sunny day.  Even better, a regular bus service to Bath, Corsham, Melksham and Devizes picks up on roughly an hourly basis. Local village halls in both Whitley and Shaw offer a variety of activities from Yoga to Qigong or simply meet up with friends for a coffee of hot chocolate at the warm space or the Sprockets café. Opposite the café the volunteer led village shop, which opens 7 days a week for all your essentials and also some lovely local food and craft treats. 

Situated between Corsham and Melksham, Whitley has the best of both worlds when choosing a quaint town centre to visit. Melksham offers every supermarket from Aldi to Waitrose, whilst Corsham offers a wide variety of independent shops and eateries. On a Thursday, hop on the bus to Devizes where an excellent farmers market is held. Transport links are easily available with good access to the A350 , M4 and routes into Bath and beyond. The rail network has a station at Melksham where trains can take you for some shopping in Swindon or change for more to London and Bath/Bristol, You can even jump on a train for a day trip to the coast at the weekend. 

Countryside surrounds Whitley village and there is a fantastic network of footpaths and cycleways to use. Perfect for walking the dog straight from your front door, or a longer walk over to Neston or Atworth. For the more energetic, the cycle routes pass through the village which is why we also have a cycle shop where you can grab everything from a puncture repair kit through to a new bike. There is even a bike repair and service option along with a village physiotherapy.

Viewing is essential to fully appreciate the exceptional quality, space, and lifestyle this home offers.
