For Sale7 Bedroom Detached House in Trimnells, Colerne, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN14£1,400,000

Tucked away in the heart of Colerne, Trimnells House is a striking Grade II listed former farmhouse, built in 1871 by the Poynder family, who owned Hartham Park in the 19th and early 20th centuries. With six bedrooms, three reception rooms, an annexe, outbuildings, generous parking and a beautiful garden, it’s a property with space, history and soul. Owned by the same family for 34 years, it has been a much-loved home. A handsome house, its two-foot-thick walls, grand proportions and multiple chimney stacks give it a timeless solidity, while the almost gothic silhouette at the rear adds real character. Over the decades, it has served as both a care home and a B&B, welcoming countless visitors. ‘This house has always felt like a sanctuary — warm, safe and full of life. It’s been part of my story, and three generations of my family, for over three decades,’ says the owner. Arranged over three floors, the house offers exceptional flexibility, including an annexe that once housed the owner’s parents — ideal for multigenerational living or guest accommodation. Many original features remain – working shutters, fireplaces, stone floors and sash windows that flood the rooms with light. The garden is a private haven, fully enclosed with open lawn, mature trees and a wild, woodland feel at the far end. ‘Apple trees, birdsong and dragonflies make it a truly magical space.’ Colerne itself is a thriving village with a primary school, shop, post office, pub and active local clubs. ‘There’s a strong sense of community here, from mobile coffee and cake on Sundays to local events, gatherings and sporting activities. Having Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa and excellent schools close by is also a huge attraction.’ Bath and Bristol are under half an hour away, with mainline services to London from Chippenham taking just over an hour. The M4 is also within easy reach. ‘This is a home that’s meant to be shared. It’s seen laughter, celebrations and family milestones — and it’s ready for its next chapter. It’s such a special and beautiful house.’ ‘Down at the bottom of the garden, it feels like stepping into another world. It’s peaceful, wild and alive with nature.’ ‘Colerne is a proper community. People look out for each other and genuinely care. That’s something truly rare and special.’ ‘It’s the perfect location to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle — dog walking, horses, chickens. The garden is fully fenced, so it’s ideal for pets too.’ N.B. The property currently has C1/Guest House usage but has planning permission to convert to full Residential usage.
