Biss Farm Yard, off West Ashton Road, just outside Trowbridge, has been listed on Rightmove for £300,000, and is being marketed by CSquared.
The property is made up of a former agricultural yard extending across around 1.43 acres.
The agents state the site historically accommodated agricultural buildings, hardstanding and access areas, including the two main structures, Barn A and Barn B.
In 2023, Wiltshire Council granted prior approval for Barn A under Class Q for conversion into three homes together with associated parking and amenity space.

Although permission was sought for both barns, Wiltshire Council advised that Barn B did not meet the requirements of Class Q due to the extent of works required.
However, according to the listing, may offer future redevelopment or conversion potential, subject to the necessary consents.
The listing goes on to state that the low-density nature of the existing scheme and the site's strategic position adjoining the 2,500-home Ashton Park development, mean there may also be scope for a more comprehensive residential development.
