Salisbury and Bath are both within 25 miles and the railway stations at Pewsey, Chippenham and Westbury are all within half an hour (London Paddington circa 70 minutes). The village has a public house, a village shop and a doctor’s surgery as well as an excellent primary school, with Lavington School for seniors in the adjacent village of Market Lavington. In addition, there is Dauntsey’s which is within walking distance, Marlborough College, Warminster School and St Margaret’s and St Mary’s Calne all within a thirty-minute drive. Home Farmhouse is set in a Conservation Area in the centre of the village on the High Street within walking distance of amenities. There is a separate drive running through the farmyard to the rear of the property with direct access to footpaths across a stunning hidden valley.
This attractive classical Georgian farmhouse was originally built in the 17th century and extended in the 19th century. To one side is the two storey granary of timber frame construction, with the main house adjoining, of rendered brick and stone elevations under a terracotta tiled roof. The entire house has undergone an all-encompassing renovation and rebuild in 2024 together with an extension. This has seen enormous attention to detail with many modern attributes being incorporated, whilst retaining many attractive period features. All services and systems are new throughout as are the fixtures and fittings. The works were carried out in compliance with a comprehensive surveyors and structural engineers report, and in compliance with current Building Regulations. A separate schedule of works and specification document is available setting out the scope of the works in more detail. The
accommodation is flexible, with the possibility of creating a self-contained flat in the granary, with its own separate entrance.
