House For Sale £875,000
Rurally located in the Wiltshire countryside yet enjoying easy access to several good market towns and the city of Bath this handsome Grade II listed farmhouse has a great deal of character both inside and out. Set down a quiet country lane behind a gated driveway the property has a Georgian façade to the front, generous symmetrical dimensions, high ceilings, an abundance of period features, a glorious garden and far-reaching views. With four en suite bedrooms, plenty of living and entertaining space, good sized gardens, and an outbuilding it makes an ideal family home. ‘I was attracted to the sheer aesthetic beauty and proportions of the house and the wonderful garden with its amazing willow and other established trees. The views, which extend to Westbury White Horse, were also a huge attraction,’ says the owner. ‘Whilst it is lovely and peaceful it also benefits from being less than 12 miles from the beautiful city of Bath with its excellent shops, independent schools, restaurants and other attractions.’ In addition, the pretty town of Bradford-on-Avon and Frome, a vibrant Somerset hub filled with independent and artisan shops and eateries are each around 15 minutes away by car. The Soho House members club and hotel Babington House is also accessible. ‘The closest town is Trowbridge; among other things, it hosts an M&S Foodhall and a foodie complex with an Odeon cinema.’
‘I was hugely attracted to the character of the Blue Barn Farm House and the generous amount of space in which I have been able to fit my larger antique pieces. My favourite room is the drawing room with its great proportions, light and amazing fireplace.’
‘The house is beautiful in both the summer and the winter and is superb for entertaining. It has a nicely understated outside bar area perfect for hosting barbeques and an inglenook fireplace to gather around.’
‘The en suite bedrooms make it ideal for a family with teenagers or those wishing to have overnight guests.’
‘The house was built in 1740 from Bath stone and retains some great original features including a bread oven and beams. There is potential for an orangery to be built as planning has been agreed.’
‘The property is a package of wonderfulness and beauty, and I will miss living here very much.’
