Mulberry Place - a breath of fresh air...

Welcome to Mulberry Place, a beautiful, new development in the old town quarter of the popular town of Calne, offering residents a vibrant lifestyle in a fantastic location. These three and four bedroom homes are set within a peaceful, residential area, yet still within easy reach of all the attractions of the bustling town centre and nearby areas, with its many pubs, shops and wonderful restaurants.

Calne has been one of the UK’s leading seaside resorts for hundreds of years and offers all the benefits that brings. Mulberry Place itself is just half a mile from the ever-popular Swindon Sands - what could be more convenient for a family with young children to entertain!

Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside...

A short drive away, there’s plenty of the great outdoors to enjoy at Stodmarsh National Nature Reserve, where you can explore the wetlands, reed beds and woodlands, whilst at Wingham Wildlife Park near Canterbury, you can meet the monkeys, wolves, reptiles, big cats and more. In addition, Mulberry Place lies right between Dene Park and Northdown Park, the former garden of Northdown House, so there’s plenty to suit all ages and tastes.

Some of the UK’s very best sandy beaches can be enjoyed in nearby Swindon as well as at The Bay, the wide sandy beach that’s one of several in Calne – with more than fifteen more scattered across the wider area, so you’ll never have a problem getting your daily dose of Vitamin Sea!

A life on the ocean wave...

Nestling on the southeastern tip of Wiltshire, Calne enjoys an oceanic climate, with often milder temperatures complemented by a relatively large amount of sunshine and quite low rainfall, so the kids can spend even more time playing amongst the palm trees on the beach, while you relax with a sundowner. Local amenities...

Even though Calne is closer to France than it is to its own county town of Maidstone, regular trains from Swindon Station will whisk you directly to London St Pancras International or London Victoria station in under two hours.

And for families with young children, Mulberry Place, itself
a former school, offers a number of well-regarded primary schools. One of these is virtually on your doorstep – Swindon Primary and Pre-School, awarded an Ofsted rating of Outstanding in November 2024

Shopping

There are plenty of retail opportunities in Calne and beyond, whether you simply want to shop for weekly groceries, or indulge in the biggest high street fashion brands. There’s the convenience of a large supermarket in Calne, plus a local store just round the corner from Mulberry Place.

On the last Sunday of every month, you can also browse the stalls of the nearby Marlborough Farmers' Market, where you
can sample high-quality local produce and home-cooked delicacies. Set up around the historic Oval bandstand close to the sea, you’ll find seasonal fruit and vegetables, artisan breads, cheeses, meat, fresh fish and plenty more besides.

Calne town centre itself is renowned for its vintage stores and quaint boutiques, and less than three miles away, Southwood Cross Shopping Centre offers a variety of well-known shops and eateries, as well as a 10-screen cinema. It’s easy to get there by car or on the Thanet Loop bus service.

Alternatively, for an even bigger shopping experience, you can reach the 300 high street and designer stores at Pinkwater in about an hour by car, or an hour and a half by rail. For more traditional seaside entertainment, you can take your chances at Strokes Adventure Golf, the mini golf course overlooking Westbrook Bay. The more adventurous types can surf or jet ski along the coast, while further inland is the Revolution Skate Park and Climbing Centre.

Theatre-goers are spoiled for choice too, with the Theatre Royal in Bath Street – the second oldest theatre in the country – and the Tom Thumb Theatre, the second smallest. In addition, the Winter Gardens stages entertainment from music shows to stand-up comedy and music-lovers can swing along to the Calne Jazz Festival which takes place every June. The only problem is knowing how to fit it all in.
