This is a 'Retirement Living Plus' development Constructed in 2018 by multi

opportunity for the over 70’s designed for independent living with the peace -
of - mind provided by the day - to - day support of our excellent staff who oversee
the smooth running of the development. There are superb communal facilities

very affordable prices. Homeowners benefit from an hour of free domestic
assistance each week and there are extensive domestic and care packages

guest suite widely used by visiting family and friends for which a small

Shackleton Place is a unique setting with the feel of a hamlet community set
among mature trees, rolling countryside and abundant wildlife you might be
fooled to think you were living miles from anywhere. However Devizes is only
0. 7 miles distance where you will find a thriving Market Town full of
independent and well - known shops, as well as a market square with a super
outdoor market every Thursday. There’s also plenty to keep you busy and active
nearby. Devizes Leisure Centre is just 1. 2 miles away and a cinema, library
and Devizes Bowls Club are all within 1 mile of Shackleton Place.
Devizes features a variety of local and national shops including a large
Sainsbury's that's just under a mile from the development. The town is also
lucky to have kept a good selection of unique independent shops offering a
wide range of goods not found elsewhere. Weekly general and collectors
markets, farmers' markets and continental markets also serve to give the town
a rich sense of character and community. A visit to the town's central Market
Place offers several restaurants and cafes for laid back afternoons and
evening meals, as well as a range of boutiques and shops. There is a
pedestrianised area known as The Brittox. Devizes is also home to the Wadworth
Brewery at the north end of Market Place, their Shire Horses can regularly be
seen making deliveries across the town centre. Lovers of the great outdoors
will enjoy the fantastic access to the stunning Salisbury plain in the heart
of the Wiltshire countryside. With 300 square miles of chalk downlands, the
plain is known for its rich archaeological history and is also home to the
legendary Stonehenge.
