This once substantial house in a well-to-do suburb of Chippenham was set alight by a former owner in August 2011 and gutted. Plans are proposed to demolish the remains of it and develop the site https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/23377892.uncertainty-future-derelict-chippenham-house-rowden-hill/ but as yet nothing has happened. Taken from Erleigh Drive on the other side of the A4.
