Situation - Charlton is a quiet, small and desirable village with an excellent public house/restaurant, situated approximately two miles from the historic market town of Malmesbury, which is reputed to be the oldest borough in the country dating back to the 11th Century. This rural community is a delightful mix of village houses, ancient farms and beautiful open countryside. Famous for its ancient Abbey and elaborate 15th century Market Cross, the town may well have history round every corner but is also bursting with life, enjoying excellent independent shops, a Waitrose, charming cosy pubs, friendly cafes, regular farmers' markets and a busy local events schedule. There are public transport services and good road access to the larger towns of Cirencester, Chippenham, Swindon, Bath and Bristol whilst the M4 junction 17 is only five miles south. Trains from Chippenham (10 miles) and Kemble (5 miles) link with London Paddington within approximately 1 hour.
