A rare 17th-century Wiltshire house with an adjoining 17th-century cottage, set in almost an acre of level grounds with a pool, pool house and a tennis court. The main house offers generous, characterful reception rooms with exposed beams, a stone fireplace and a double-aspect principal bedroom with ensuite and dressing area. The cottage provides independent accommodation ideal for guests, extended family or rental income.
The plot delivers immediate lifestyle appeal — large gardens facing north and west for evening sunsets, detached garage, carport and separate vehicular access to the cottage. There is clear potential to update and reconfigure: an unconverted loft in the main house and basic kitchen/utility fittings throughout invite refurbishment to modern standards while retaining period features.
Buyers should note material constraints: both properties are Grade II listed within a Conservation Area, which will complicate alterations and require listed-building consent. The sale will be by Modern Method of Auction with a non-refundable reservation fee (4.2% of the sale price, minimum £6,000) and a 56‑day completion window. Significant estate and maintenance items include an in-ground pool, a tennis court requiring refurbishment, oil-fired heating, and assumed uninsulated stone walls.
This offers a character-rich family compound or a two-property investment in a highly accessible rural location — close to Corsham, Chippenham and Bath. Inspect with your adviser and lender before bidding to account for listed-building constraints, refurbishment scope and additional auction costs.
