Situation
Slaughterford is a picturesque village with a close community within a stunning valley setting surrounded by beautiful Cotswold countryside and a babbling brook meandering through the heart. "The beach" as it is locally known, is a short distance along the river with a sandbank for picnics. The nearby village of Ford, across the fields, has a popular pub The White Hart. This is an excellent location for countryside walking routes. A footpath, part of The Macmillan Way, is available from immediately outside the cottage which follows a stunning route to Ford. Footpaths lead off to Biddestone, Yatton Keynell and Castle Combe.
Michelin-starred dining is within easy reach, with acclaimed restaurants in nearby Castle Combe and even closer at Restaurant Hywel Jones at Lucknam Park.
Slaughterford is located approximately 5 miles from the market towns of Chippenham and Corsham, and 10 miles from Bath city, which have an excellent range of facilities and school options.
Both Chippenham and Bath have mainline train stations (London Paddington from 72 minutes). The larger villages of Biddestone and Yatton Keynell are some 2 miles away offering superb amenities between them including a popular primary school, two pubs, village halls, a post office/store, doctor’s surgery, and sport clubs including tennis and cricket. Both Bristol and the Georgian heritage city of Bath are accessible within 30 minutes.
