New homes For Sale in Wiltshire

Located in the South West of England, Wiltshire is a naturally beautiful county that shares a border with Berkshire, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Somerset. From atmospheric cities like Salisbury to large towns such as Swindon and peaceful villages including Lyneham and Hilperton, new houses in Wiltshire offer plenty of variety. Not far from the coast, local attractions include Bowood House with its 100 acres of landscaped grounds, soft play, petting farm and adventure playground, as well as Crabourne Chase and landmarks like Old Wardour Castle. No landmark is more famous than Stonehenge though, which lies in the Salisbury Plain and is a real bonus for our new homes in Wiltshire – which you can start exploring below.

Things to see and do in Wiltshire

A huge part of Wiltshire’s charm is its rural landscapes which throw up a huge selection of historic landmarks and stunning natural scenery. The Langford Lakes, Brokerswood Country Park and Savernake Forest are all excellent spots to spend quality family time outdoors, while the Wiltshire Museum, Longleat House and Bowood House and Gardens are all well worth visit. 

The Cotswolds and its quaint little villages provide endless afternoons of pleasant exploration, while Stonehenge is one of the country’s most enduring historic monuments. Prehistoric, in fact, just like Avebury’s ancient stone circle, with Iron Age hill fort Old Sarum, Durrington Walls and Salisbury Cathedral all must-sees too. 

Education

Wiltshire may be quite spread out, but there are lots of great schools to be found across the county. Kington St Michael CofE Primary in Chippenham has been ranked as outstanding by Ofsted, along with Greentrees Primary in Salisbury. If you live in Trowbridge then North Bradley CofE is one of the top local schools for younger children. 

Moving on to secondary schools, Salisbury’s South Wilts Grammar School for Girls and Swindon Academy are a couple of the county’s best choices. Ridgeway School and Sixth Form College is another highly rated option for kids in Swindon, along with Royal Wootton Bassett Academy. 

Transport links in Wiltshire

There are plenty of solid transport links across the county, including a large network of train, bus and park and ride services. The M4 motorway runs through the north of Wiltshire between Bristol and London, while certain parts of the county are suitable for commuting to the capital on a daily basis. Trains to London from Swindon, for example, take less than an hour, while it’s a touch longer from Chippenham.
