Plans to demolish six barns and build cottages for employees have been submitted for a Wiltshire estate owned by billionaire Chris Rokos.
Plans to demolish six barns and sheds to make way for new cottages have been submitted to Wiltshire Council. The proposal, submitted on 22 October by London-based commercial real estate firm Newmark, covers Crofton Farm in Great Bedwyn, near Marlborough. The cottages would provide accommodation for employees of Tottenham House Estate and their families.
Tottenham House Estate is owned by hedge-fund manager Chris Rokos, who ranks among the richest people in Britain. According to The Times' rich list 2025, he paid the third-most amount of tax in the country. The estate is the subject of a major renovation project estimated to cost more than £100 million.
Alongside the cottages, the application seeks reinstatement of the historic farm track, landscaping improvements, and parking and waste infrastructure. Rokos has recently made headlines for moving to Athens to open a new office, but the estate's renovation project is confirmed to proceed.
