The site comprises a former farmyard in the heart of the village. Planning permission and Listed Building Consent were granted on 1.12.21 (ref: S/21/0940/SASM) for ‘demolition and conversion of existing barns to create 5 dwellings, ancillary development and repairs to Grade II Listed wall.’ A certificate of Lawful Development was issued on 30.3.23. The conversions as permitted will provide two 3-bedroom units (Nos. 1 and 2 being attached), and three detached 4-bedroom units.
Local Authority: Swindon Borough Council.
Services: Mains electricity. Mains water is in the highway. The buildings are currently connected to the private water supply and this will need to be disconnected within 12 months of completion.
Planning: The site is within the village Conservation Area. The barns are not Listed in their own right but the northern boundary is a Grade II Listed wall.
Rights of Way: The neighbouring property, Prebendal Farmhouse, has a right of way down the driveway.
Tenure: Freehold
Guide Price: £1 million
VAT: Any guide price quoted or discussed is exclusive of VAT. In the event that a sale of the property, or any part of it, or any right attached to it, becomes a chargeable supply for the purposes of VAT, such tax will be payable in addition.
Health and Safety: Given the potential hazards of a former farmyard we ask you to be as vigilant as possible when making your inspection for your own personal safety.
Viewings: Viewings are strictly by appointment only.
All the units will have their own private gardens – Plot 3’s being particularly generous - and either garaging or car ports. Visitors parking spaces are also shown on the approved plans.
Bishopstone is a thriving and popular village. It is set amidst unspoilt North Wiltshire countryside and adjoins the North Wessex Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a primary school, church, village hall and an excellent pub, The Royal Oak. The main local towns are Marlborough and Highworth, with a more extensive range of shops and services in Swindon (7 miles). Other local centres include Bath, Bristol, Newbury and Cheltenham. Communications are excellent: M4 junction 15 is under 5 miles and trains to Paddington from Swindon are from 51 minutes. Excellent rides and walks in the surrounding countryside and a good choice of private and state schools.
