Little Somerford, Chippenham SN15

Description

Street Farm is a Grade II listed farmhouse situated within the village of Little Somerford just a few miles from Malmesbury. The property sits within over 8 acres of grounds and paddocks and boasts a fantastic range of outbuildings and barns plus a self-contained annexe known as The Wagon Shed.

The farmhouse dates back to the late 17th Century and has been thoroughly refurbished whilst retaining much of its wonderful character including exposed beams and casement windows. The accommodation is perfect for families spanning over three floors and extending to 2,800 sq.ft. The ground floor opens to an entrance hall with WC and utility room off. There are two reception rooms both featuring fireplaces. The modern fitted kitchen/breakfast room is completed with an Aga. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms all with fitted storage. The principal bedroom is accompanied by a dressing area and an en-suite shower room. Both the en-suite and the main family bathroom have been updated. There is a further bedroom located on the top floor with a dressing room and a versatile study area.

Converted in 2020 with underfloor heating, The Wagon Shed is a superb self-contained charming cottage comprising an open plan kitchen/reception on the ground floor along with a shower room and a mezzanine style bedroom above. The property has its own private garden and parking area allowing it to be used for a range of purposes.

The farmhouse is accompanied by an extensive array of outbuildings. The most impressive of which is the tythe barn which is also Grade II Listed dating back to the late 18th Century featuring a magnificent projecting cart entrance. The barn is partly converted with a workshop and room above but has ample opportunity for further conversion. Further outbuildings include former stables, a garage and large workshops.

The land lies to the south of the farmhouse providing a lovely outlook from the accommodation. The land suits a range of needs including the keen equestrian comprising a small paddock of c.0.8 acres beside the main 3.4 acre field and an additional 3 acre field located beyond the train line which is accessed by a right of way (indicated in blue on the plan). There are no public rights of way across the property.
