Unusual Wiltshire glamping site is put on the market

The 0.7-acre plot, on the edge of Southwick, includes two unusual holiday lets known as The Hoot and The Hares Rest, offering buyers the chance to run a countryside tourism business in a popular part of the county.

The standout attraction is The Hoot, a former horse lorry that has been transformed into holiday accommodation.

The converted vehicle sits alongside The Hares Rest, a shepherd's hut designed for guests looking for a rural escape.

Both units are currently set up as glamping accommodation and are being marketed as potential income-generating holiday lets.

The glamping site forms part of a larger property that is available either as a whole or in separate lots.

While the entire holding, including a bungalow and gardens, is on the market for £1.1 million, the land and holiday accommodation are being offered separately as Lot 2 for £225,000.

The glamping plot is accessed through gated entrances from a private lane and benefits from off-road parking and its own private entrance.

Alongside the two accommodation units is a wooden stable block and workshop with power and water supplies, providing additional storage and workspace.

Located on the western edge of Southwick, around three miles south west of Trowbridge, the site enjoys a secluded position at the end of a private no-through road surrounded by countryside.

The holiday accommodation reflects the continuing popularity of glamping, which has grown significantly in recent years as visitors seek more memorable alternatives to traditional hotels and holiday cottages.

Converted vehicles have become an increasingly popular feature of the sector, with everything from railway carriages to buses and horse boxes being transformed into overnight stays.

The Southwick site combines two of the most recognisable glamping styles in one location, giving visitors the option of staying in either a converted horse lorry or a shepherd's hut.

The village itself offers a range of amenities, including a shop, pub, church, primary school and country park, while larger shopping and leisure facilities are available in nearby Trowbridge and Bath.

For potential buyers, the property offers both a slice of Wiltshire countryside and a ready-made tourism venture.

And with a converted horse lorry at the heart of the site, it is likely to be one of the more distinctive property listings currently available in the area.
