High Street, Great Cheverell, Devizes

This is an exciting family home with a unique development opportunity, set in the heart of this thriving village, with wonderful views over open countryside to the rear. The whole site comprises a 4 bedroom detached period house with a self contained annexe, plus adjacent workshops, extensive outbuildings and parking, plus a large private paddock to the rear. In all the whole site is about 1.6 acres.

'Hillcrest' itself is an attractive Victorian detached house and 1 bed annexe that has been in the same family since it was built. The property is ideal for multi generational living as it stands but also offers further scope to be altered/ extended. The adjacent Kytes Garage has planning permission to demolish and replace it with two new dwellings (if so required). If somebody wanted a large family home with outbuildings or an opportunity to build a house for a relative next door, or required office space or workshops then this could be a fantastic opportunity.

Full planning permission was granted for the erection of two detached houses (as per the attached plan):
1 x Four bedroom detached house (GIA 188m2) with three parking spaces.
1 x Five bedroom detached house (GIA 202m2) with a single garage and two parking spaces

SALES ADVICE: We would be happy to advise further on the achievable values of these two new homes (subject to specification), or indeed any alternative schemes. We do feel a larger house would sit very well on the back plot which really benefits from the extensive rural views beyond.

Situation - SITUATION: The site is set in the centre of the highly sought after village Great Cheverell, in a Conservation Area. This thriving village is perfect for families and has a range of amenities including an outstanding primary school Holy Trinity, excellent nursery, an active village hall, a friendly public house and a church. The historic market town of Devizes is some five miles north with a wider range of facilities including town centre shopping, a leisure centre with swimming pool, museum, theatre and thriving weekly market. The renowned Dauntsey's and Lavington schools are in the neighbouring villages of West Lavington and Market Lavington. The major centres of Bath, Swindon, Salisbury and the country towns of Trowbridge, Chippenham and Marlborough are all within a thirty mile radius, with the further benefit of mainline railway stations situated in Westbury, Pewsey and Chippenham.
