Flaxlands, Royal Wootton Bassett, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN4

Lot 1 - An opportunity to purchase an equestrian holding comprising a detached 4-bedroom cottage, stabling, approximately 10.82 acre (4.37ha) of pastureland.

Description

Flaxlands Cottage comprises a 4-bedroom detached property with equestrian facilities including 6 x brick-built stables and tack room, a storage barn, 2 further timber stables with tack room and approximately 10.82 acres of pasture land.

Situation

The property is situated on a rural lane, approximately 3 miles north of Royal Wootton Bassett, which provides a range of everyday amenities. Flaxlands is also situated within 4 miles of Junction 16 of the M4 motorway, providing access to Bristol and London.

Residential

The accommodation of Flaxlands Cottage to the ground floor provides entrance porch, lounge with doors to the garden, fully fitted kitchen/diner with log burner, cloakroom, and utility housing the boiler. To the first floor there are four good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom, with loft storage also available. Externally, the gardens of Flaxlands Cottage are extensive and well maintained with parking for several vehicles and various timber outbuildings.

Equestrian

Accessed over a separate driveway, and set back from the lane, are the 6 stables, tack room and storage barn, in excellent condition. The building is of a brick construction with timber cladding, slate roof, timber doors and concrete floor. We understand as part of the 2007 planning consent the stables and barn shall only be used for the private stabling of horses and associated storage. We also understand their use is limited to those occupying the main house (Flaxlands Cottage). However, the stables can be let to a private individual (not residing in the cottage), under a common law tenancy rather than a business. The land to the north-west of the cottage and outbuildings extends to approximately 10.82 acres (4.37ha). The land is suitable for grazing and mowing and is subdivided into encloses by post and rail fencing, with mature hedgerow boundaries.
