Description

Set within 1.55 acres of potential, this Grade II listed farmhouse offers a unique opportunity for renovation or redevelopment in a tranquil rural setting just east of Chippenham. Comprising both traditional and modern agricultural buildings that total approximately 14,400 square feet, the property presents various avenues for investment, particularly through Class Q development potential (subject to planning permissions). Located just over a mile from the centre of Chippenham, Hardens Farm benefits from its proximity to urban amenities while retaining an idyllic countryside atmosphere. The town features excellent transport connections including a mainline train station that provides direct access to Bristol and London, adding to the property's appeal for future residential development or as an investment rental opportunity. The farmhouse itself has been subdivided into two three-bedroom dwellings but is in need of comprehensive renovation. Each unit boasts a private garden, allowing for individual outdoor space despite the required restorative work. The current Energy Performance Certificate indicates a rating of F, highlighting the renovation needs likely required to enhance energy efficiency and living conditions. Access to the site is straightforward via Hardens Lane, ensuring easy connectivity. Essential services are available including mains water and electricity; however, prospective buyers should be aware that the septic tank may not meet compliance standards. Detailed reports—including an asbestos assessment and drainage plan—are available upon request. Additionally, there is a public footpath adjacent to the property along Hardens Lane, enhancing recreational opportunities while ensuring no public rights of way encroach upon the land itself. This freehold property falls under the jurisdiction of Wiltshire Council. Viewings are available by appointment only, offering interested parties a chance to explore this versatile site with significant renovation or redevelopment potential.
