Setting the scene
Thickwood is a private estate located just to the north of the village of Colerne and mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1087. Colerne village is set in the picturesque Wiltshire countryside; it exudes charm with its quaint streets and historic landmarks. At the heart of the community are essential amenities including local shops for everyday needs, a hairdresser, café, post office, The Fresh Flower Company with its beautiful bouquets, and two welcoming village pubs, The Fox and Hounds and The Six Bells, both serving good food and drink.

The ancient church, built in 1190, stands as a striking centrepiece, offering a sense of tranquillity and heritage. Surrounding the village, miles of countryside trails and over a dozen circular walks, ranging from easy to moderate, provide endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Families benefit from Colerne’s C of E Primary School and Playgroup within the village, while older children have convenient bus links to highly regarded secondary schools in Bath and Wiltshire.

Colerne’s location makes it a popular choice for commuters who want the peace of village life while remaining well connected. The village lies just 7 miles north-east of the historic city of Bath and 8 miles from Chippenham, with excellent access to the M4 motorway. Bath Spa and Chippenham railway stations both provide fast services to London Paddington.
