Four Oaks Marlborough • Wiltshire FOUR OAKS MARLBOROUGH • WILTSHIRE FOUR OAKS LITTLE BEDWYN • WILTSHIRE These particulars are intended only as a guide and must not be relied upon as statements of fact. Your attention is drawn to the Important Notice on the last page of the text. The house is bespoke This goes from the bricks, handmade in Yorkshire, commissioned in five different colours, with specials to turn the angled corners, right down to the zinc dipped heated towel rails, which are designed for the house. The feel is one of solidity, beginning from the way the brick pointing is ‘bagged’ rather than ruled, to make the brick surfaces a unity, with the windows sometimes set flush, sometimes let deep into the walls. Inside, the crafted lime plaster, subtly different on ceilings and walls, and the extensive use of character oak (chosen for its variety, medullar rays and shakes) give every surface weight, depth and texture. It is a light filled house, with big double glazed galvanized metal windows, with many rooms having three aspects, most also having breadboard oak shutters. The fittings continue the theme of quietly considered elegance and simplicity, with door furniture from the boutique firm Ize, wall lights from BTC and wiring by Flexform. At the same time there is a feeling of spaciousness, with landings which form rooms themselves, and on the first floor the bedrooms gain a lift at ceiling edges, borrowing height from the attic floor above. There is a generosity that permeates every detail. The doors are mainly thicker, wider and taller than normal, as well as being solid oak. The gutters, downpipes and roofs of the garage buildings are all copper. Resin floors have a slight ‘give’ from being laid over crumb. These details give a nurturing feel. Environmental credentials are present but lightly worn, with an extensive ground source heating system, solar thermal, reed bed, and a one house heat recovery ventilation system. The best has been taken from technology for the home, with light dimming controls, zoned underfloor heating on the ground and basement, and information cabling. The plan of the house, with its energising kink, parries the set and solid external appearance. Views across the landings make angled and dynamic connections, just as the views across the downs root the house in its landscape, south to the Downs and north to Chisbury. The overall design with its material of brick and tile is grounded in the vernacular tradition and references informal farm buildings as well as the contemporary.

    7 Action Projects The following section of the Neighbourhood Plan outlines action projects identified which would benefit the community. It will be for the parish council and local people, working with key agencies such as Wiltshire Council to deliver these action projects over the coming years. This section of the Neighbourhood Plan will not be examined as part of the Neighbourhood Plan, however, it does pick up on key issues identified by the community during consultation on the Neighbourhood Plan, and issues identified in the evidence base. Action projects are included on the following themes: - Housing - Economy and Employment - Tourism - Traffic and Transport - Cemetery expansion - Youth Facilities !23 Housing Surveys of community opinion have shown clearly that highest perceived priority is affordable housing, especially for younger families. Because of the local market prices, affordable in practice means Social Housing, which is in the hands in North Wiltshire of various Housing Associations. The future policies of these Associations are currently (2018) under review, but none intend at present to replace in the Parish any local stock sold. A July 2017 Wiltshire Council Housing Needs Survey Report assessed the current needs as 14 additional subsidised rental and shared ownership homes. This survey did not include those local families who have already been driven out of the Parish by high market prices, but which would like to return. There are no sites available even within the recently (2018) extended Settlement which could meet that need in mixed estates. Furthermore, although there is currently no imposed Housing target for the Parish, there probably will be in the period up to 2036.

Parish Council analyses issues 1. Froxfield present Straddling the A4 road, Froxfield is a village which at the last census (2011) had a population of 382. This included 153 men and 229 women and covered 168 households. (i) The highest population enjoyed by Froxfield was 625 in 1841; the lowest 266 in 1971. (ii) The village extends along the very wide A4 – with narrow (often single-track) side roads leading off it towards Little Bedwyn, Great Bedwyn, Chilton Foliat and Ramsbury. There are also three smaller residential ‘no-thru’ roads. There is a thriving private nursery school (Stepping Stones) within the village boundary at the hamlet of Oakhill. There are several substantial businesses based in Froxfield – furniture retailer OKA has its major south west showroom on the A4, at the western end of the village; along Littlecote Road, we find BK Grain Handling Engineers, operating in Froxfield since 1981; Brendoncare offers nursing care for 44 residents and The Blanchard Collective has a 6000sq ft warehouse for 18 antique dealers. 2. Froxfield past The earliest written record of anything on the site of the parish of Froxfield was found in the year 778, where a parcel of land in the general area was called Frosca burna – or 'frog's bourn' –- but this does not necessarily mean that there was a settlement there.
