Various social activities are organised in the communal lounge including coffee morning's, film nights, quizzes and seasonal and themed events. Whilst residents are encouraged to take advantage of the activities there is, of course, no obligation to join in.
The development is just under 0.5 mile from a Waitrose supermarket and Sainsbury's. The central shopping parade is just moments from the site, which includes Boots and several high street banks. There's also a good selection of coffee shops, pubs and restaurants. Melksham's public library is half a mile away and the closest community hospital is located nearby. Every Tuesday the town comes alive with a regular market selling household goods and delicious local produce from surrounding farms.
The market town of Melksham is located on the banks of the stunning River Avon and is surrounded by the picturesque countryside and green spaces of rural Wiltshire. Sitting just 10 miles east of Bath and once part of a huge royal forest that covered the area, it offers a rich local history and plenty of exciting landmarks to explore. In Tudor times, Melksham was one of the favourite hunting grounds for England's royalty. The area was known for prosperity in its agriculture and had a bustling woollen industry. These days, the town's history can be explored in the historic quarter of the town centre, where two beautiful churches and an original town square offer a reminder of days gone by.
