Focus on Great Bedwyn

Date Published 22 September 2020

Continuing our local information series on villages in our area, today we look at Great Bedwyn, just under 7 miles from Marlborough. If you would like your village featured next, please do let us know and tell us what makes it a great place to live.

Great Bedwyn, great village! Widely sought after, this pretty village has a highly regarded primary school and a railway station going in to London Paddington in around an hour. The village also has a post office/shop, community cafe (well worth seeking out), garage, local pub (good food guide 2019) and a doctors surgery. There are numerous clubs including tennis, cricket and croquet.

There is a great mix of properties available from modern family homes, to cute cottages and larger village houses. If you are lucky enough to have some time in the area, a walk through the surrounding countryside such as Savernake Forest or a walk along the canal including a visit to Crofton to see the beam engine is highly recommended - particularly if it is in steam - hopefully starting again in 2021.

Houses in villages offering a great community, local facilities and access to the road and railway network, such as Great Bedwyn are always sought after, if you are looking to buy a property around Marlborough, thinking of selling or would just like an update on the price of your home please do call Brearley and Rich.
