Description
A delightful Cotswold farmhouse with detached cottage, outbuildings and set within 25 acres.
Home Farm is an elegant Grade II listed traditional Wiltshire farmhouse with four en suite bedrooms and benefitting from a two-bedroom detached cottage. The farmhouse is believed to date originally from the 16th century and is set within 25 acres of picturesque gardens, grounds and pasture. The ground floor accommodation is thoughtfully arranged to suit family living. The south-facing kitchen/breakfast room, complete with an Aga, offers an inviting space for casual dining. The impressive double drawing room, nearly 30ft in length, is ideal for entertaining, while the separate dining room and study provide additional versatile living areas. Arranged over the first floor are four well-proportioned en suite bedrooms, as well as a dressing room which could also serve as an occasional bedroom.
Dairy Cottage, originally converted from a period barn, provides ancillary accommodation and features a spacious sitting/dining room with high ceilings and a woodburning stove and two double bedrooms with two bathrooms (one of which is en suite). With private parking as well as its own garden, Dairy Cottage offers versatility as additional guest accommodation, a home office, or a potential holiday let, presenting a lucrative additional income stream.
This property has 25.44 acres of land. Outside
Home Farm has a charming array of gardens, divided into various separate areas, including a vegetable garden and wide flat lawns. There is an additional pretty paved courtyard to the side of the kitchen. There is a large single garage next to the drive and plenty of gravelled parking.
The Farm Buildings and Land To the east of the farmhouse lies an impressive collection of farm buildings with a separate access from Swan Lane. The modern buildings include a large stable block with six loose boxes and a Dutch Barn, presenting an exceptional opportunity for future development, subject to securing the necessary planning consents.
The traditional period buildings feature a second stable block with an additional six stables, and a detached stone and brick barn with a Cotswold stone roof, providing further scope for creative use or enhancement. Adjacent to the buildings is a 60m x 30m all-weather riding arena.
The land extends to just over 25 acres and is divided into five well-fenced fields, suitable for horses or livestock, with extensive road access.
