The layout is flexible and on the ground floor there are three reception rooms: the kitchen leads directly off the dining room in an almost open plan style; the study could provide a fourth bedroom if required. On the first floor, which is approached by two staircases, there are three bedrooms and a cloakroom.

Road communications are excellent providing access to the major employment centres of Swindon and Bristol, the Georgian city of Bath and via the M4 motorway (Junction 17), London and the West Country. There is a good choice of state and private schooling in the area and those with an interest in country and leisure pursuits are well catered for in the region.

  • THE GREAT BATH ROAD, 1700-1830 Brendaj.Buchanan
    THE GREAT BATH ROAD, 1700-1830 BrendaJ.Buchanan The great turnpike highway from London to the spa city of Bath is surrounded by legend and romance, 1 which have come to obscure the fact that at no time in the period studied was there any one single Bath Road. Instead, from the beginning of the eighteenth century there were created over the years and in a patchy, disorganized sequence, some fifteen turnpike trusts which with varying degrees of efficiency undertook the improvement of the roads under their legislative care. Not until the mid-eighteenth century was it possible to travel the whole distance between capital and provincial city on improved roads, and even then the route was not fixed. Small changes were frequently made as roads were straightened and corners removed, the crowns of hills lowered and valley bottoms raised. On a larger scale, new low-level sections were built to replace older upland routes, and most significant of all, some whole roads went out of use as traffic switched to routes which were better planned and engineered by later trusts. And at the time when the turnpike roads were about to face their greatest challenge from the encroaching railways in the 1830s, there were at the western end of the road to Bath not one but two equally important routes into the city, via Devizes and Melksham, or through Calne and Chippenham along the line known to-day as the A4. This is now thought of as the traditional Bath Road, but it can be demonstrated that it is only one of several lines which in the past could lay claim to that title.

  • Survey Report St Mary the Virgin, Calstone Wellington
    Survey Report St Mary the Virgin, Calstone Wellington January 2020 Introduction Today the church of St Mary the Virgin today lies in isolation at the base of the Cherhill downs south of the main A4 road between Calne and Cherhill, Wiltshire SU027681, Lat/long 51.412520,-1.962587. The church was rebuilt in the mid 15th Century on the site of an earlier church. The porch timbers come from a later date. The density of graffiti within the church porch is unsurpassed in the county and reveals much about how symbolism was important throughout the post-medieval period. This goes beyond simply making your mark, the amount and variety of graffiti here suggests toleration & encouragement. Within this report we include a photographic survey of the graffiti, offer some interpretation and the methodology used to capture the essence of the symbology. Wiltshire Medieval Graffiti Survey This project was set up in 2014 in order to record historical graffiti and re-use of stone throughout the county of Wiltshire. We continue to support and communicate with similar projects through the UK and Europe, allowing for the development of common recording techniques and a shared terminology for classification. Research Aims & Objectives (i) To systematically record historical graffiti, inscriptions, re-uses of stone using non-invasive methods. (ii) To present findings in a format that is comprehensive and offers a typology that may include; apotropaic symbolism, folk art, names and dates and Christian symbolism. (iii) To increase knowledge and understanding of a building from a social perspective. How folk made their mark and why.
