Nestled in the charming village of Long Newnton, which lies within the picturesque Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this property presents a notable opportunity for those looking to invest in a renovation project. Located just 1.5 miles from Tetbury, a historic market town celebrated for its beautiful architecture and antique shops, residents will enjoy easy access to essential amenities, including two supermarkets. The nearby town of Malmesbury offers similar conveniences with a Waitrose store, while larger urban centers like Cirencester, Bath, and Bristol are within a reasonable distance for broader shopping and recreational options.
This site is specifically designed for a new 4-bedroom detached home equipped with its own access from the highway and a double garage. The proposed layout includes an expansive open-plan kitchen and living area, alongside utility space and a separate living room. Upstairs features four spacious bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, plus an additional family bathroom. With an internal area of approximately 2,239 square feet (excluding the garage), this property provides ample space for family living or potential rental income.
The existing structure has been demolished to make way for new development under planning consent granted by Cotswold District Council in April 2024 (ref: 24/00416/FUL). Additional permission was secured in June 2025 to allow phased construction—an indication of proactive development in the area that could enhance property values over time.
For prospective buyers considering self-build exemptions on Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) costs amounting to £11,294.18, it's worth noting that inquiries should be made regarding eligibility. Buyers should also account for any existing rights of way or easements that may affect their plans as the property is sold subject to these conditions.
All major utilities such as water, electricity, and gas were previously connected at Sundown House and will be established separately for this new plot. This aspect simplifies the process of bringing modern services into what stands poised to be a newly built residence.
With freehold tenure and vacant possession available upon completion, this property is an ideal canvas for investors or homeowners eager to create a tailored living space in a serene rural setting.
