Burton Hill

Burton Hill sits right on the edge of Malmesbury, giving it the best of both worlds: the calm of a small market town setting with easy access to Sherston's rural charm just a few miles away. Crime levels are low across the area, and families are well served by strong schools, including Malmesbury School, which is rated Outstanding, along with two Good-rated primaries in the town itself. Day-to-day life here is easy, with Malmesbury's pubs, cafes, parks and shops covering most needs on foot, while Sherston adds a quieter, village-level option for those who want more green space and a tighter-knit community feel. House prices in Malmesbury are more affordable than in Sherston across the board, so buyers have some flexibility depending on budget and the kind of setting they're after. Remote working is clearly a big part of life in this part of Wiltshire, with close to 4 in 10 residents in Malmesbury and nearly half in Sherston working from home. For those who do need to commute, the A429 and A350 provide reasonable road links towards Bristol and Chippenham, though public transport is limited, so having a car is pretty much essential. Overall, Burton Hill offers a well-rounded mix of good schools, low crime and strong local amenities, with the choice of town convenience or village quiet close at hand.
