Westleaze Stables is a substantial detached country house set in about 2.4 acres on the edge of Old Town, Swindon. The main house provides generous, well-proportioned accommodation over three floors — six to seven bedrooms, multiple reception rooms and five to six bathrooms — arranged around a central hall and open landing. The finish is modern with rustic touches, underfloor heating, an air-source system installed in 2024 and a high-spec kitchen, making it comfortable and energy-efficient.
The grounds and ancillary buildings are a major asset for equestrian or leisure use: a Coach House with a first-floor one-bedroom flat above a three-bay garage, four stables, outbuildings and stores, extensive parking and an all-weather riding arena (potentially convertible to a tennis court or pool with planning). The paddock runs down to a stream and there is scope for multi-generational living or rental income from the flat.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The property benefits from mains water and mains gas heating but uses private drainage. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and mobile signal average — relevant if you work from home. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The house sits in an affluent, semi-rural neighbourhood with good road and rail links to Swindon and the M4, and local schools and amenities within easy reach.
This home will suit a large family, equestrian household or buyer seeking a versatile country base close to town. It offers strong entertaining space, outbuildings and a rare plot size, but purchasers should budget for connectivity upgrades and expect to manage private drainage and higher council tax costs.
