Gastard House is a rare, substantial period property set in approximately 1.75 acres of mature grounds, with a 10‑bed main house and an attached two‑bed cottage. The house blends sixteenth‑century origins with an 1871 rebuild, offering grand rooms, high ceilings and many original features alongside clear scope for restoration, reconfiguration or redevelopment (subject to planning).
The accommodation totals about 7,753 sq ft across the main house and cottage, making this suitable for a large family, multi‑generational living, or a renovation/development project. The property sits privately within the village, benefits from excellent road links to the M4 and Bath, and has good rail access to London. Practical positives include double glazing installed after 2002, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should expect a significant programme of works to realise the house’s potential. Current provisioning includes only three bathrooms for ten bedrooms, main heating by oil boiler and radiators, and a history of varied uses that will influence conversion possibilities. Council tax is very expensive; any restoration or redevelopment will require budgeting for structural, services and historic‑fabric costs.
For those seeking a characterful restoration or a redevelopment opportunity in a well‑connected Wiltshire village, Gastard House offers rare scale, architectural presence and flexible scope. It is best suited to purchasers prepared to undertake a major refurbishment or to progress plans with professional advisers and planning authorities.
