Why Devizes is the place to be

Location and lifestyle: Why Devizes is the place to be

At Redcliffe Homes, we know that choosing a home is about more than the building itself; it’s about the lifestyle that comes with it. That’s why our new Zephyr Place development is perfectly placed in Devizes, a historic market town that offers the best of both worlds: rich heritage and a vibrant community, combined with the convenience of modern living.

A town steeped in history
Devizes is renowned for its character and charm, with over 500 listed buildings, stunning Georgian architecture, and landmarks such as Devizes Castle and Wadworth’s famous 1875 brewery. The town’s weekly market, which has been running since the 12th century, continues to be a lively hub where locals and visitors alike come together to shop, browse, and connect.

Connected living with countryside on your doorstep
Nestled on the edge of the North Wessex Downs and moments from the famous Caen Hill Locks, residents have endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. From scenic canal walks and cycle paths to nearby allotments and sports clubs, there’s something for every lifestyle. And with Bath, Stonehenge, and Chippenham’s rail links to London all within easy reach, Devizes strikes the ideal balance between rural tranquillity and practical connectivity.

Everyday life made simple
Living in Devizes means having everything you need close by. Independent cafés, artisan shops, a cinema, a tennis club, and year-round festivals bring the town to life. Families benefit from a choice of schools and community facilities, while green spaces and footpaths make it easy to get around sustainably. At Zephyr Place, residents will enjoy not just the homes themselves, but also the sense of belonging that comes with being part of this thriving town.

A community to grow with
For Redcliffe Homes, building in Devizes means investing in more than just homes. Zephyr Place has been designed to encourage biodiversity, connect seamlessly with its surroundings, and support local infrastructure. From landscaped spaces to contributions towards schools and services, the development will enhance everyday life for residents and neighbours alike.

Looking ahead
With a new show home opening later this year, buyers will soon be able to step inside and experience what life at Zephyr Place has to offer. Completion of the development is expected by late 2026, but the first homes are already available to reserve, offering an exciting opportunity to put down roots in one of Wiltshire’s most distinctive and welcoming towns.
