The Thornhill Industrial Estate in South Marston, Swindon, was put on the market on 17 March 2026 for more than £3 million. This site is located in Wiltshire near the White Hart Roundabout and currently provides space for several local firms.
Estate agent Avison Young is managing the sale of the property. They have described the site as an opportunity for a buyer to either fix up the current buildings or eventually knock them down to build something new.
Currently, the estate is home to three businesses: Bishopsgate Newco Ltd, CET Tyres, and L Swindon Motors. There is also one empty unit on the site, which altogether brings in £177,700 in rent every year.
Local business owners are worried that a new owner might decide to clear the site to make way for different types of buildings. The estate is close to the New Eastern Villages project, where many new homes are being built, making the land more attractive to developers.
Those working at the estate are calling for more community input on the future of the area. They want to make sure that any new plans for the site will still provide a place for small businesses to operate in Swindon.
