Situation & Description - Elevated parcel of land located behind cottages on the outskirts of the village adjoining open countryside.
The village of Box is home to a popular junior school as well as St. Thomas's church, several recreational grounds and playing fields, family-friendly local pubs, and a variety of restaurants and cafes to frequent. Further local amenities include a small supermarket, village hall, children’s nursery, youth club, a post office and well-stocked village store, along with a doctors surgery and pharmacy, and bowling green, all within easy walking distance.
There is an array of beautiful country and woodland walks and bicycle routes nearby, with the Georgian City of Bath about five miles away providing entertainment, excellent shopping, art galleries, and theatres. The city's mainline railway station links to London Paddington and Bristol. There is also currently a very handy bus service that connects to Bath and Devizes with various stops in between, as well as a direct bus to Chippenham.
