The house also lies within the Middlehill Conservation Area and the Greenbelt. It is an incredibly peaceful and special setting and yet is just moments from the gorgeous architecture of the City of Bath. Local amenities and day-to-day shopping can be found within walking distance in the village of Box and the nearby market town of Corsham. The City of Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is only 5 miles away. It provides first class shopping, educational and cultural attractions including the Roman Baths, Holburne Museum, The Royal Crescent, Prior Park Gardens and the Theatre Royal. The property is well placed for commuting with easy access to both Junction 17 and Junction 18 on the M4 which link to London and the wider national motorway network. High speed rail links are available from Bath Spa and Chippenham, providing links to London, the south coast and the Cotswolds. Bristol Airport is 23 miles to the west, providing a wide range of national and international flights. There is a huge range of sporting opportunities nearby including hunting with the Avon Vale, whilst Bath provides excellent golf, cricket, rugby and racing within a short drive of Middlehill. The area is renowned for the quality of its private and public schooling for boys and girls of all ages. Prior Park, Stonar, Monkton Combe, King Edwards, the Royal High School for Girls and Kingswood are all within easy reach and further afield are Badminton, Downside, Cheltenham, Marlborough, Millfield and St Mary’s Calne. Bath University is ranked in the Top 10 in the country by The Sunday Times. Heleigh House Heleigh House sits centrally in its land and is an excellent family house that has been lovingly owned by the same family for the past 38 years. The house is surprisingly not listed given its fine stone construction and architectural detail. Internally, the rooms are superbly proportioned and flow extremely well. The owners’ sympathetic improvements over the years have been carried out to both the house and gardens, creating a magnificent setting for the house, with wonderful views over the nearby Bybrook Valley, Lansdown and Claverton Down. The principal reception rooms all lie off the fabulous entrance hall, a welcoming space with coffered barrel vault ceiling and views from the front door through to the back door. The dining room and drawing room both have excellent proportions and ceiling heights; the drawing room in particular has intricately detailed ceiling plasterwork, a magnificent fireplace and large bay window overlooking the garden. There are two studies, a morning room (or playroom) and two cloakrooms. The large kitchen has fully fitted base and wall mounted units and ample space for a breakfast table. The utility room and boot room are conveniently placed off the kitchen and the secondary kitchen, or butler’s pantry, lies across the hallway. A door from the hallway leads down to the basement. The basement has excellent headroom and although not finished to the same standard as the main accommodation, provides some very useful ancillary rooms including wine cellars, a storeroom and a large games room which also houses the boiler. From the staircase hallway, the split staircase has a beautifully polished mahogany handrail and leads up to a principal landing with the main bedroom accommodation. The bedrooms are spacious, with excellent outlooks over the gardens surrounding the house. In total there are seven bedrooms, two bathrooms, a shower room and WC. In the past, the rear part of the house was occupied as a separate home by relatives of the current owners and the flexibility in the accommodation, with a secondary staircase, means the house can either be used as a whole or as principal and secondary accommodation, simply by opening or closing the communicating double door sets.

  • Corsham Community Policing Report Area Board – 14Th November 2018
    Corsham Community Policing Report Area Board – 14th November 2018 Hello and welcome to this Community Policing Team report. As part of Op Sceptre - the national knife crime prevention initiative was launched, bringing together police forces co-ordinating ways to tackle knife crime, appealing for people to hand in unwanted or illegal knives and bladed weapons during the period of the amnesty: Monday 17 - Sunday 30 September. Our two week campaign featured case studies from people whose lives have been affected by knife crime - from the victim of knife crime to the police officer who had to deal with a serious stabbing. Knives are used as an everyday tool in the home and in industry, but when placed in the wrong hands or adapted for the wrong purpose can have devastating consequences. A fine example of this was on Wednesday 3rd October 2018 at approximately 14:00 hours a report was received from a member of public regarding a possible drink driver on Easton Lane. Police were on scene in minutes following a short pursuit and the male ran from his vehicle, the suspect was detained and arrested. On searching his vehicle a sword was found. The 29 year old male from Thingley has been charged with fail to stop, dangerous driving, drink driving and possession bladed article. Sgt Mark SIMPSON wanted to thank the member of public who called this in. Thank you Special amnesty bins were available at six locations across the county: Swindon's Gablecross Police Station, Marlborough Police Station, Melksham Police Station, Chippenham's Monkton Park, Trowbridge Police Station and the Temporary Police Station at the rear of Five Rivers Leisure Centre in Salisbury.

  • Social History Draft, by Rosalind Johnson, Minor Amendments by John Chandler and Rosalind Johnson, for Posting, 12 Feb 2018]
    © University of London 2018 [VCH Wilts 20: Chippenham, social history draft, by Rosalind Johnson, minor amendments by John Chandler and Rosalind Johnson, for posting, 12 Feb 2018] SOCIAL HISTORY SOCIAL STRUCTURE AND FAMILIES The social structure of market towns such as Chippenham for much of their history would have been a rigid pyramid, where admission to the higher levels was dependent on wealth and connections to other high-status families. Nevertheless, changing commercial fortunes and family circumstances, particularly the lack of an heir to inherit a business, could and did see individuals move within the pyramid, and outsiders enter in.1 Urban prosperity can be measured through taxation. In the tax assessment for 1332, Chippenham was the wealthiest borough in Wiltshire after Salisbury (New Sarum); the total tax for the borough was assessed at £16 18s.10¼d.2 The highest- rated individual, Nicholas Sperlynge (63s. 3¼d.) has not been identified, but the next two highest assessments both related to lords of the manor; Peter de la Huse of Rowden (20s. 6½d.) and Edmund Gascelyn of Sheldon (16s. 3¼d.). Other known individuals in the list were tenants of the manors of Sheldon and Lowden, and the unknown remainder were probably merchants and artisans.3 The numerical strength of the elite of Chippenham was small, possibly 20 burgesses in an adult population of 369 by the time of the poll tax assessment in 1377. However, it was among the wealthiest towns in Wiltshire, if wealth is measured in terms of moveable goods.4 The granting of the town’s charter by Queen Mary in 1554 formally conferred on Chippenham the status of a borough.
