Buildings 1, 2 & 3 also each benefit from their own amenity area along with bin storage, bike stores and allocated carparking spaces in a shared parking area.

The nearby conurbation of Swindon (6 miles) offers a comprehensive range of shopping, recreational and business facilities with a mainline railway station (London Paddington 49 minutes). There are numerous excellent local primary and secondary schools both in the public and private sector. The surrounding area provides a wealth of walking and riding opportunities through a network of quiet lanes, public footpaths and bridleways and The Ridgeway.

Rights of Way

Listing and Conservation

The Listed Building Consent was granted under application number P22/V2905/LBC (whitehorsedc.gov.uk) . Part of the sale site lies within the Idstone Conservation Area.

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
