“A beautifully designed spacious family home nestled in the Wiltshire countryside with adjoining land and buildings”
INTRODUCTION
Oakfield Farm provides an exceptional opportunity to purchase a detached five-bedroom property set in a large, well-maintained garden, which benefits from a substantial range of agricultural buildings, concrete yard and permanent pasture fields. In total the property extends to approximately 14.03 acres. The property is brought to the market for the first time since it was built in the early 1990s.
The farmhouse offers exciting scope for an incoming purchaser to create a truly exceptional country home in a beautiful setting. The buildings provide potential opportunities for a range of alternative uses (subject to planning).
SITUATION
Oakfield Farm sits in a rural position on the edge of the hamlet of Easton Piercy, between the villages of Kington St. Michael and Yatton Keynell, which both feature primary schools, village halls, churches and pubs. The property is located within the charming Wiltshire countryside with beautiful views overlooking rural scenery to the rear. Oakfield Farm benefits from complete privacy, with the adjoining pastureland under the same ownership and mature trees providing privacy to the house. This allows for plenty of space and tranquillity whilst being in a peaceful location and a short drive from various amenities.
Oakfield Farm is in a sought-after position, being within easy reach of the market town of Chippenham, a 12-minute drive away. The popular city of Bath can be reached in around 30 minutes. Both offer a very good choice of shopping and amenities, accompanied by excellent restaurants and cafes. In addition, the famous Cotswold village of Castle Combe is located nearby. The area is particularly well served by a wide selection of highly regarded state and independent schools, catering for all age groups. The property is extremely well connected, being around 12 minutes from Junction 17 of the M4. Trains to London Paddington run regularly from Chippenham, with a journey time of around 75 minutes.
FARMHOUSE & GARDEN
Oakfield Farm was built in the early 1990s and comprises an attractive Cotswold stone farmhouse, under a tiled roof, and is double glazed throughout. The farmhouse is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition (AOC).
The farmhouse is in great condition throughout but offers an excellent opportunity for sympathetic updating, providing an exciting opportunity for an incoming purchaser to adapt the farmhouse to their own taste to create an excellent family home. The Gross Internal Area of the house extends to approximately 3,925 sq.ft (364.6 sqm).
Ground Floor – The principal door opens into a large entrance hall which leads to the kitchen/breakfast room, formal dining room, sitting room and WC. Leading on from the kitchen is a utility room, store room, office, a second WC and back porch. The staircase rises from the hallway leading to…
First Floor – …the landing which leads to five good-sized double bedrooms, a family bathroom and good-sized airing cupboard. Three of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, with four having built-in storage. The landing houses a second set of stairs which leads to…
Second Floor – …the attic, which is currently split as two large rooms. This has been used for storage but has good head height and provides excellent potential for additional living space, be it additional bedrooms, office/work space, play room or games room.
Externally there is a large, established, well-kept garden of approximately 0.37 acres. The garden has been carefully landscaped to complement both the farmhouse and its rural setting arranged over two levels. The property boasts a circular driveway, and the house is surrounded by mature trees, creating an impressive arrival to the property and offering ample parking and turning space. In all, this section of the property totals 1.08 acres including garden, driveway, and parking.
Agricultural Occupancy Condition (AOC) – the farmhouse is subject to an AOC. Planning permission was granted for the farmhouse on 8th February 1990 (planning ref. N/89/03266/FUL) subject to the following wording “the occupation of the dwelling hereby permitted shall be limited to a person solely or mainly employed, or last employed, in the locality in agriculture, as defined in Section 290(1) of the Town & Country Planning Act, 1971, or in forestry, including any dependents of such a person residing with him, or a widow or widower of such a person”. The AOC has been complied with since the property was built.
LAND
The land comprises two fields of permanent pasture, extending to 10.40 acres, which have been used for grazing and hay. Boundaries are marked by either mature hedgerows or sheep net fencing. The land is mainly level and benefits from good vehicular access. Historically, there has been a second access off Cromhall Lane to Field 2. The land is Grade 3 quality and benefits from a few small ponds across the property. The soil type is lime-rich loamy and clayey soil. The land presents a range of opportunities to anyone with agricultural, equestrian or amenity interests, subject to the relevant planning permissions.
BUILDINGS
Situated to the north of the property, the farmyard includes a range of steel portal frame and block-built buildings with concrete or hardcore floors, accessed from a large open yard laid to concrete and hardcore. Originally, Oakfield Farm was used as a pig rearing unit. The buildings offer various opportunities for future uses, including equestrian or commercial, subject to obtaining necessary planning consents.
DEVELOPMENT OVERAGE
The agricultural buildings at Oakfield Farm are offered for sale subject to an overage provision should the buildings be redeveloped for residential use. The provision will apply on the granting of planning permission. The details of the overage are to be discussed and agreed with the Vendor, but it is likely it will last for 25 years and require payment of 25% of the increase in value.

DESCRIPTION
A unique opportunity to purchase an attractive Edwardian cottage with adjoining building plot located in the sought-after Wiltshire village of All Cannings in the Pewsey Vale, brought to the market for the first time since 1947. The dwelling was occupied by the same family for 75 years but became vacant in late 2023. 46 The Street comprises a three-bedroom end of terrace red brick cottage with period features, in need of modernisation, set in a large garden.
The initial terrace of three was built in 1905, with a fourth property added to the western end of the terrace more recently. Full planning permission has been granted, and partially implemented, for a fifth dwelling on the eastern end of the terrace, in the garden of No. 46. The consented dwelling comprises a two-bedroom red brick property, in keeping with the remainder of the terrace. The property is available as a whole or in two lots. This sale presents a unique opportunity to create up to two family homes in a desirable village location, or may offer scope to amend the consented design (STP) for a more substantial family home set in a large garden.
LOT 1 – 46 THE STREET
Lot 1, outlined red on the sale plan, comprises 46 The Street, an end of terrace red brick cottage extending to approximately 807 sqft (75 sqm).
On the ground floor, the property comprises entrance hall, family bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen and rear porch. On the first floor there are three bedrooms leading from a central landing. The property is in need of modernisation however the roof was repaired, including new tiles, felt and batons around 20 years ago, and a Grant condensing outdoor boiler was installed in November 2011. The property includes original features such as parquet flooring and fireplaces. The majority of wall and floor coverings have been removed to clearly show the structure of the property.
Externally, the property features front and rear gardens, and part of a red brick traditional outbuilding to the rear, used for garden storage. The outbuilding could present a future opportunity to convert to a small home office or similar (STP), as has been done in the adjoining sections of the building. To the front of the property is a gravelled parking area.
LOT 2 – BUILDING PLOT
Lot 2, outlined blue on the sale plan, comprises the building plot with implemented planning permission for a two storey two-bedroom end of terrace red brick dwelling under a clay tile roof. The consented dwelling comprises hallway, lounge, kitchen-diner and WC on the ground floor, with a landing leading to a family bathroom and two bedrooms on the first floor, totalling approximately 856.59 sqft (79.58 sqm). The property includes garden to the side and rear, with the tarmacked driveway and gravelled parking area to the front of the property.
Wiltshire Council granted full planning permission for Erection of dwelling and formation of vehicular access and parking court on 15th December 2010. The planning documents can be found on Wiltshire Council’s planning website under reference number E/10/1271/FUL. Conditions 2 (materials), 3 (construction details) and 4 (landscaping) were discharged on 21st November 2011. The planning permission was implemented in 2013 with installation of the driveway and new access, with evidence sent to and uploaded by Wiltshire Council dated 19th November 2013. The permission is therefore considered to be “implemented” and permission secured in perpetuity.
The elevations and floorplans are shown overleaf. Further details, including the planning documents, can be found on Wiltshire Council’s planning portal or on WebbPaton’s online data room. Please contact WebbPaton for access.
