A rare opportunity to acquire an edge-of-village development site on the northwestern fringe of Baydon, benefiting from outline planning permission for a small, high-quality scheme of family homes.

The site is located to the northwest of Russley Green, on the edge of the popular village of Baydon, and is enclosed by hedgerow and tree belts along its northern and western boundaries, giving it a well-screened, private character. Baydon sits on the Wiltshire/Berkshire border, close to the market town of Marlborough and within easy reach of Hungerford, Swindon and Newbury. The village lies within the North Wessex Downs, adjacent to the Ridgeway National Trail and well known as part of the Lambourn Downs racehorse training country, with good road links via the B4192 and the M4 corridor, and mainline rail connections at Swindon, Hungerford and Newbury.

Wiltshire Council granted outline planning permission (ref pl/2023/09493) on 26 March 2025 for up to 9 dwellings, open space, landscaping and associated engineering works. Access into the site has been approved, with scale, layout, external appearance and landscaping reserved for future submission. The illustrative layout shows an indicative mix of three 4-bedroom detached, two 3-bedroom detached and four 3-bedroom semi-detached homes arranged around a central SuDS feature.
