Manor Court

Pewsey | Wiltshire

The acclaimed first English Courtyard development

Manor Court was the first English Courtyard Association development and set a standard unseen before in this country for comfortable retirement living. The design was influenced by the beautiful Elizabethan almshouses of nearby Froxfield, and built with warm red brick, clay tile and stone-mullioned windows. The properties surround three sides of a beautiful courtyard garden with lawns, flower beds and magnificent herbaceous borders. A stream, part of the river Avon, runs along the length of its delightful woodland.

It is just a short walk to the shops, which include two supermarkets, excellent pubs, bistros, cafés and a bank, as well as a swimming and sports centre. Pewsey’s famous feast and carnival, a village tradition since 1898, is thought to be one of the oldest in Wiltshire. The Pewsey white horse hill figure is located on a steep slope of Pewsey Hill about a mile south of the village, with the Kennet and Avon Canal running to the north. Marlborough, Hungerford and Devizes are all nearby to provide further shopping, cultural and sporting facilities.
