Living in Corsham

[conanius]

Hi All,

We are looking to move home from Gloucestershire due to work, and have found a potential property about half a mile from Corsham Town Centre.

Unfortunately the viewing was later in the day after we'd done several others in neighbouring towns, so we didn't get chance to look round. It looked very nice, but I'm after an honest view from PHers.

Thoughts on a postcard, positives and negatives. Would be good to know if there are any 'MUST AVOID' locations to live. Looked like there was a fair amount of stereotypical military style housing around - which doesn't bother us one bit - but we didn't see any areas where we thought -erk !!! can't live here !

Lived here all my life (38) years. Pm if you like.

Agree with the above comments. There is a new ish development called Catherine park. It's ok but quickly looking tired and there are cars lining the streets as parking is limited. The centre is ok, a couple of good eating places and corsham court is a scenic walk. Depends what your after but it's a lovely safe place to live with amenities close to hand without being to close

Safe is good.

Its for myself, my wife, and my newborn boy and our dog. I'll be working just outside Swindon, and as my wife doesn't drive, having things easily accessible is important. The central supermarket looks big enough to do most weeks shopping, and then there appears to be a local Sainsburys 5 ish mins by car, or a Waitrose & Asda in Melksham 10-15 mins down the road by car.

Would be good to know if you know much about local parks and their locations (any with a stream running through for the dog would be ace).

I'll PM you the location
