High Street, Marshfield, Chippenham

Setting The Scene
If it's village life you're after, it doesn't get much better than Marshfield. Steeped in history and full of architectural charm, this beautifully preserved village is a joy to explore. Every corner reflects the care and pride of its community.

Perfectly positioned on the edge of the Cotswolds in a Conservation Area and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty bordering both Somerset and Wiltshire, Marshfield strikes the ideal balance, peaceful and picturesque, yet full of life. It’s just the right size to offer everything you need, including a GP surgery, a well-regarded primary school, a post office, cosy tea rooms, popular pubs, and a handy convenience store… home to what many say are the best cakes in the South West.

There’s something for everyone in Marshfield, from the charm of the local cricket club, tennis club and other sporting grounds, to the rolling countryside that’s perfect for scenic walks and outdoor adventures. The vibrant community centre offers a wide range of activities, whether you're into yoga, film nights, or just looking to connect with neighbours. It’s a place where it’s easy to feel at home and get involved.

Commuters will appreciate Marshfield’s convenient location, with easy access to the M4 providing links to both Bristol and London, as well as straightforward access to both Chippenham and Bath train stations. The A46 means the historic city of Bath is approximately 8 miles away and the by-pass results in reduced traffic noise within the village.

The Property

The front garden is charming, with a pathway leading to the original entrance, flanked by gravel areas and a decorative water feature as a focal point. A mature hedge line defines the boundary. Parking for one car is available to the rear of the property in a shared car port, accessed via Old School Court.
