Property description
LOCATION The property is to be found in a semi-rural position just off the A432 leading to Chippenham about 5 miles to the north and Devises is about 5 miles to the south. The towns of both Calne and Melksham are also within easy driving distance. Mainline trains are at Chippenham, north of which the M4 can be joined.
Chittoe itself is a small rural village, but basic facilities for everyday use are available at Bromham which is about 1 ½ miles from the property.
Therefore whilst enjoying a rural position with a lovely outlook, this property is ideally located for a number of
nearby larger centres of employment and for schooling and other services.
THE PROPERTY The original property dates back to 1883 and has brick elevations under a pitched slate roof and was augmented with school rooms built in 1914 of similar construction.
The property has a most attractive appearance and enjoys a quiet position with open views over agricultural
land to the south with extensive woodlands to the rear.
The extent of the property now being offered for sale is shown for identification purposes only upon the OS plan within these sales particulars. It should be noted that the graveyard is being retained by the Methodist Church and is still open. A small further area of land will be offered with the building, as a potential off road parking space subject to planning permission being granted.

TOWN & COUNTRY PLANNING The present use of the building is within D1 of the Use Classes Order, as a place of worship. This would also
permit other community uses including clinics, surgeries, crèches, day nurseries and consulting rooms.
Alternatively in light of its rural position it is considered that the property could be converted into a delightful individual dwelling subject to planning permission being granted.
Interested parties should address any specific enquiries to the local Planning Authority.
