About the CHOLDERTON Conservation Area
The CHOLDERTON Conservation Area covers about 24 hectares within Wiltshire Council’s area. Inside the boundary are 17 listed buildings (3 Grade II*, 14 Grade II). The most significant is Cholderton House, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
