A beautifully converted Victorian barn with five bedrooms, set in rolling countryside on the edge of a sought-after Wiltshire village.

Description
Set in a peaceful location in grounds of approximately 10 acres, this exceptional Victorian barn was thoughtfully converted in 2011 to create a distinctive and elegant home. Designed to enjoy its idyllic surroundings, this home combines character with modern comfort, featuring lofty ceilings, extensive glazing, three traditional inglenook-style fireplaces and elegant engineered wood flooring, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

A light-filled entrance hall leads to the principal living accommodation within the home’s northern wing, where three spacious reception rooms offer versatility and flow. The family room centres around a log-burning stove and connects seamlessly to a formal dining room with French doors opening onto a south-facing terrace. The impressive sitting room enjoys lofty ceilings and a triple aspect, with French and bi-fold doors to the gardens and views of open countryside.. A further fireplace creates a focal point in the cooler months. The 38ft kitchen is a standout space, fitted with Shaker-style cabinetry and a suite of integrated appliances. A curved island provides an area for casual dining, with space for a breakfast table adjacent to a log burner for cosy family mealtimes. French doors extend the space outdoors, and a utility room adds practicality.

The southern wing offers a study for homeworking and a cloakroom, alongside three ground-floor bedrooms, two of which are double in size. One benefits from a smart en suite bathroom. Upstairs, two further bedrooms, accessed via the family room staircase, include a superb principal suite with fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom with a separate walk-in shower, alongside a second dual-aspect bedroom with dressing area and en suite shower room.

Outside
A sweeping gravel driveway winds its way towards this handsome home, featuring attractive brick, partially rendered and English cedar clad elevations beneath a slate roof. This south-facing aspect ensures a wonderful first impression, with the property beautifully positioned within its grounds. Extending to approximately 10 acres, the gardens and land have been thoughtfully designed to combine formal landscaping with natural charm.

To the front, raised beds with manicured box hedging, low walls, and neatly clipped borders, create a refined and elegant setting. To the side, paved terraces provide superb spaces for al fresco dining and entertaining, including a substantial timber pergola with a solid roof. Beyond, expansive lawns border the surrounding countryside, affording views that are nothing short of spectacular.

To the south and west, the grounds are further enhanced by a dedicated area for cultivating fruits and vegetables, complete with a practical greenhouse, paddocks and an area of woodland. In addition, there is an extensive mature orchard adjoining the garden, featuring a mix of apple, pear, plum, and damson trees. A substantial long barn/ garage is currently utilised as a workshop and with a further shed, they provide excellent storage and potential for other uses.
