Constructed in 2018 by multi award-winning retirement developer McCarthy and Stone, Banks Place occupies a quiet location yet is very conveniently positioned with a just few minutes walk of the excellent facilities of this sought-after village location. The Ellendune Shopping centre is located just over half a mile from the new development offering a range of convenience shops including Tesco Express. Theres also a local caf, butchers and a range of restaurants to choose from. For everyday shopping theres a Co-Op store located just moments away and a Waitrose supermarket is 2 miles from Banks Place. The village also boasts a doctors, dentists, florist and a local hospital. Wroughton village is conveniently located within easy reach of Swindon city centre, which is easily accessible via a regular bus service for which there is a bus stop located just outside the development. Whilst junctions 15 and 16 of the M4 are around 4 miles away.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
