Chaffeymoor Farm is a substantial Grade II listed smallholding in Bourton, set within about 1.74 acres with a further 2.12 acres available by separate negotiation. The main farmhouse (c.1800) and attached two‑bed cottage sit around a large courtyard with traditional stone outbuildings and planning consent to convert the agricultural barns into three additional dwellings plus a home office and garage block. The site benefits from fast fibre, excellent mobile signal and easy access to the A303.
This is a rare chance for an investor or experienced owner‑occupier who can manage a listed restoration and a wider refurbishment project. Listed Building Consent and full planning permission were granted in January 2024 for the proposed conversions and demolitions of modern barns, removing one regulatory hurdle; however, listed status will make renovation more complex, slower and potentially costly. The farmhouse itself requires full renovation and modernisation, while the attached cottage is in lettable condition.
The setting is a major selling point: huge private plot, attractive countryside outlooks on the edge of the Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs AONB, and private water features on the additional land. Practical advantages include mains water, mains drainage, mains electricity and no requirement for Section 106 or CIL in this area. Note there is an overage clause applying to part of the site (25% uplift payable on land with future residential consent for 25 years) which buyers should factor into any development appraisal.
Overall, Chaffeymoor suits purchasers seeking rural lifestyle, redevelopment upside or a multi‑unit income scheme who are prepared to manage listed‑building constraints, renovation works and associated costs. Viewing and technical due diligence are recommended early to confirm budgets and timelines.
