Description

** An additional 12.14 acres of flat pastureland with NO SSSI designation, multiple buildings and fronting Friday Ham Lane is now included within the sale **

This area benefits from its own historic gated access off Friday Ham Lane and offers clear potential for future development (STP). It is shown hatched in blue on the accompanying plan.
This extra land has been used for the grazing of horses and alpacas.

In total, the property now extends to approximately 98.31 acres, combining open pasture, established lakes, and land with future development potential, all within the Cotswold Water Park.

The main holding, around 86.17 acres, consists of lakes and pastureland. The land was originally identified for gravel extraction, a process that shaped much of the surrounding Water Park, but quarrying ceased when the material was found to be of insufficient quality. This has resulted in a landscape of lakes, islands, and natural vegetation.

The current owner purchased the property around 18 years ago and has managed it with minimal intervention. The pastureland has been grazed by horses and alpacas, while the lake edges and grassland have naturally regenerated. Light grazing has created informal tracks and open areas with views across the water.

The property benefits from two independent vehicular access points directly from the public highway, one to the south and another from Friday Ham Lane providing connectivity to the Spine Road.

The pastureland includes three existing structures: a pole barn, a recently erected stable block with three boxes, and a partially constructed concrete block building, as shown in the photographs.

To the east lies the main lake extending to about nine acres, with an untouched island of around 1.6 acres. Several smaller lakes and ponds are located throughout the property, varying in size with the seasons. A freshwater stream, Wheatleys Brook, runs through the land, feeding the main lake and maintaining constant water movement.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large landholding offering both a valuable natural environment and clear long-term potential.



The Cotswold Water Park, with its 150 individual lakes, is situated between the attractive former Roman market town of Cirencester in Gloucestershire to the north and the urban conurbation of Swindon in Wiltshire to the south, covering about 40 square miles and attracts over 500,000 visitors annually. The area offers a wide variety of activities which include angling, birdwatching, cycling, horse riding, water
sports of all descriptions and walking.

The location is excellent with the property lying only approximately 50m off the well known ‘Spine Road’ being the main trunk road passing through the Cotswold Water Park. The Spine Road services
surrounding Holiday Parks, The De Vere Hotel, Cotswold Water Ski Club and provides direct access to the A419 dual carriageway being 1.5 miles east and onto the M4 about 17 miles south and the M5 Junction 11A being about 23 miles north. The property sits directly on the Wiltshire/Gloucestershire border and lies entirely within Wiltshire.





A three-phase electricity supply is connected to the pump house on the western boundary. There is electric and mains water connected to the additional 12.14 acres. Purchasers are to make their own enquiries.
