Description Manor Farm is a unique property, which has been sympathetically renovated by the current owners to create a beautiful family house. Manor Farm represents a very rare opportunity to enjoy idyllic country living whilst receiving a very easily managed and significant income. Additionally there is the exciting opportunity to further develop the former farmyard and significantly increase the rents received.The farmhouse sits in a generous plot of circa 10 acres, the grounds of which comprise formal gardens, paddocks, ponds and exquisite wetlands. The house offers excellent living space, with a beautiful handmade kitchen/breakfast room including a modern electric AGA with companion module and original flagstone floor, a dining room steeped with period features, and two further generously proportioned reception rooms, which are both light and full of character. Upstairs are 6 bedrooms and a family bathroom, all set around a stunning landing which provides further relaxed living space. The house exudes character and charm whilst providing spacious rooms suited to modern living. Exposed beams on the landing that still bear the marks of the old oil lamps, original shutters, servants bells, a smoke chamber, cold room, beautiful fireplaces and original limestone floors are just some of the features that make this house both unique and interesting.
Outside The house is approached from its own private drive with a separate entance providing access to the farmyard. To the west of the house is a charming former Cheesery and Bakery. This building, although in need of repair, provides a huge opportunity, subject to planning, to provide ancillary or additional accommodation to the Farmhouse.
The stunning grounds comprise of approximately 2 acres of garden, including an orchard, fernery, and a very pretty large pond. The remaining land is spread over two fields with mature native trees, yew hedges and an ancient willow. The ponds are home to visiting wild birds, numerous broods of ducklings and wild herons. The 1.5 acres of Wetlands that lie to the rear of the property lead to a stream and are described by Wiltshire Wildlife Trust as both important and rare.
Courtyard and Buildings Lying to the east of the Farmhouse and mainly centred around a traditional courtyard are the former farm buildings, some of which have been converted to commercial use to generate a significant rental income.

They have been converted to a high standard and include w.c.’s and kitchen areas providing modern and very attractive working spaces with views over the attractive grounds to the north.
