Description

Gastard House presents a rare opportunity for those interested in renovation and investment. Nestled within approximately 1.75 acres of established grounds, this historic property features a main house with ten bedrooms, complemented by an adjoining two-bedroom cottage. The expansive layout and unique character of the buildings offer significant potential for restoration or repurposing, subject to necessary planning permissions. The property boasts a combination of seventeenth-century charm and Victorian architecture, characterized by its mullioned windows, exposed beams, and striking buttresses. Within the main residence, you'll find spacious, high-ceiling rooms including a grand entrance hall and an elegant drawing room featuring a marble fireplace. The overall configuration allows for various possibilities—whether as a large family home or a multi-unit dwelling. Located in the tranquil village of Gastard, the site enjoys privacy while being conveniently close to community amenities. The nearby town of Corsham offers independent shops and cafes along with educational facilities. For commuters, Chippenham station provides efficient rail connections to London Paddington in about 70 minutes, while major roadways like the M4 and A4 facilitate access to Bath, Bristol, and beyond. Historically known as Gastard Court, this property carries centuries of stories—from serving as a school in the 1870s to housing military personnel during World War II. Having reverted back to residential use more recently, it stands ready to be transformed once again under new ownership. This unique blend of history, space, and location highlights the noteworthy investment potential available for discerning buyers looking to create their vision within an architecturally significant setting.
