SITUATIONBiddestone is a charming, peaceful village with attractive, traditional Cotswold stone houses and cottages centred around village greens with a duck pond and two public houses. The nearby towns of Corsham, Chippenham and Bath provide very good local shopping, and Bristol and Cirencester are close by. Biddestone is well located for communications. It is just less than 6 miles from Junction 17 of the M4 motorway. There is a regular train service to London from Chippenham taking about 80 minutes.

Sporting activities in the village include very active tennis and cricket clubs, and in the general area include hunting with the Beaufort, Polo at Westonbirt, racing at Cheltenham, Bath and Newbury, and golf at Chippenham, Castle Combe, Bowood, The Park and Lansdown.

Schools in the area are excellent and include Westonbirt, St Mary’s Calne, Stonar, Dauntsey’s, Beaudesert Park at Minchinhampton, Badminton and all the Bath schools that cover all ages.

INTRODUCTIONBiddestone Stud is a well established stud and has produced many fine racehorses from Mtoto in the 1980s right up to the modern day, with the 2017 Group 2 Temple Stakes success of Priceless. At Royal Ascot last month the stud was represented by four home-bred runners.

The current owners have been running Biddestone Stud for the last five years and have decided to rationalise their bloodstock interests.
