About this listing

A quintessential compact English Estate Description Summary Bapton Manor is a compact country estate centred around an impressive Grade II listed principal residence of classical Georgian design. The Manor is approached from a horseshoe driveway lined with chestnut trees and enjoys far reaching views of the rolling Wiltshire countryside to the south. In addition to the Manor House, there are 4 estate houses and cottages, providing useful rental income. Further revenue is generated by commercial lets and renewable energy receipts. The farmyard provides grain drying and storage capacity for over 4,000 tonnes as well as extensive livestock facilities. Some buildings may have potential for alternative uses subject to gaining the necessary planning consents. Bapton Manor Bapton Manor is an impressive country residence occupying a private position at the heart of the Estate. The house is Grade II listed and steeped in local history and whilst in need of some modernisation, has all the characteristics of an exceptional, family home with a wide range of outbuildings, stabling, land and its own fishing. The Manor is constructed of dressed limestone under a Welsh slate hipped roof and thought to date back to the 17th Century with some later additions. Inside, the rooms are well proportioned and light and enjoy views of the surrounding farmland and river. The ground floor accommodation comprises a large drawing room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, sitting room, office, study, utility room, boot room and two WC’s. Upstairs, there are eight well sized bedrooms and five bathrooms. Outside, an array of outbuildings include garaging, storage and a workshop, which subject to gaining the necessary planning consents, could have potential for alternative uses. The rear garden is laid mainly to lawn and extends north of the property with charming, private views across the water meadows to the River Wylye. There is a swimming pool and tennis court, both in need of some restoration. Bapton Manor Farmyard The extensive range of farm buildings at Bapton Manor include a variety of traditional and modern structures. The yard includes grain drying and storage facilities for over 4,000 tonnes. Some of the buildings may have potential for alternative, commercial uses subject to gaining the necessary planning consents. Land The land forms an attractive block of pasture sitting alongside the River Wylye. Grazed by a herd of beef cattle, the fields are bound by stock proof fencing, mature hedgerows and a network of drainage ditches. A redundant building, known as the Old Slaughterhouse, lies in a small coppice at the centre of the land, which would make a wonderful fishing bothy, subject to planning permission. The land includes 674 yards of double banked and 1,278yards of single bank chalk stream fishing on the River Wylye, known for its wild brown trout and grayling. The River Wylye is known to be one of the most unspoilt chalk streams, an ecosystem almost unique to the south of England. Location Bapton Manor is situated in the Wylye Valley and has excellent communication links being just one mile from the A303/A36 junction, providing easy access to London (via the M3), the south west (via the A303) and the Cathedral City of Salisbury (via the A36), with a regular train service to London Waterloo (from 88 minutes). Close to the World Heritage Site of Stonehenge, the Estate also forms part of the Cranborne Chase National Landscape (formerly termed an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), known for its chalk streams and beautiful unspoilt countryside. Heathrow Airport is about 82 miles distant, while Southampton Airport and Yeovilton are each around 35 miles and both can accommodate private aircraft. The general area is well renowned for its excellent choice of schools including Chafyn Grove, Dauntsey’s, Godolphin, Marlborough College, Port Regis, Salisbury Cathedral School, Sandroyd, Bryanston, Sherborne, St Mary’s Shaftesbury and Warminster. Race meetings at Salisbury, Wincanton and Newbury. Hunting with the South & West Wiltshire Hunt and Polo at Tidworth Polo Club and Druids Lodge.
