Situation

The New House occupies an enviable position within the prestigious Hartham Park estate, one of Wiltshire’s most distinguished private estates, located approximately 1.25 miles north of the highly sought-after market town of Corsham. Originally centred around an elegant Georgian manor house designed by the renowned architect James Wyatt in 1795, Hartham Park has evolved into an exceptional country estate combining historic grandeur with contemporary amenities.

Set within approximately 50 acres of beautifully maintained parkland, the estate retains an atmosphere of timeless elegance, further enhanced by features including a traditional stické tennis court, the acclaimed Forge & Pheasant restaurant, and a collection of sensitively restored buildings. While now established as an exclusive business park and events destination, the estate has carefully preserved the architectural integrity and distinguished Georgian character of the original manor house.

The property is situated within an attractive and established setting on the northern side of Corsham, a thriving and characterful North Wiltshire town renowned for its historic high street, fine period architecture, boutique shopping, cafés, and excellent local amenities. The town offers an exceptional balance of countryside charm and modern convenience, with highly regarded schooling and leisure facilities all close at hand.

New House, Hartham Park is exceptionally well positioned for access to the Georgian city of Bath, approximately 11 miles to the west, whilst Chippenham railway station, approximately 4.5 miles away, provides regular mainline services to London Paddington. The M4 motorway (Junction 17) is also conveniently accessible, offering excellent connectivity to Bristol, London, and the wider motorway network.
