Impressive former country house estate, Hartham Park, in Wiltshire goes up for sale
Specialist hotel property adviser, Christie & Co, has been instructed to sell the unique Hartham Park Estate in Wiltshire alongside Strutt & Parker on behalf of the Administrators, Kroll Advisory Ltd.
The Grade II Listed, former country house estate set in 20.08 hectares (49.63 acres) is currently used as a serviced office accommodation. Subject to obtaining the statutory planning consent, the property could suit a variety of alternative uses. There is 67,763 square feet of accommodation in total across various buildings including an impressive Grade II listed mansion house, coach house and stables, and modern office/reception building. The property offers serviced office accommodation in up to 70 individual office units, with seven meeting rooms with café and facilities.
The property is located in a prime position between Bristol, Bath, Chippenham, and Swindon, with good access to the M4 motorway (Junction 17) which is 8.4 miles to the north. Chippenham railway station provides a regular service to London Paddington, and Bristol Airport is 28.8 miles away.
Ed Bellfield, Director at Christie & Co, says of this opportunity, “We are excited to offer Hartham Park for sale as it is rare that a property of this magnitude comes to the open market. The opportunities this property provides and its location, will offer a buyer potential for a variety of alternative uses, subject to obtaining planning permission. The added attraction of acquiring one of only three playable ‘Sticke’ tennis courts in existence will not doubt generate interest.”
Oliver Custance Baker, Head of Strutt & Parker’s country house department, adds, “Hartham Park is a country house that’s taken on many guises since its Georgian inception. From a private family estate and hosting Sir Winston Churchill, to becoming an RAF billet during the second world war and, in more recent history, being used to house commercial offices, it’s certainly adaptable. The sale of the house presents the start of a new chapter in Hartham Park’s history, whether that be as a private estate, a country house hotel, used by the education sector, or for the provision of senior living. With over 67,000 square feet of space to develop, the buyer will have grand ambitions and imagination – which this house, of such significance and size, surely deserves.”
The guide price for the property is £8,000,000 freehold.
