5 bed detached house to rent

Nettleton, Chippenham, Wiltshire SN14

A magnificent Grade II listed Cotswold farmhouse with substantial converted barn, set in about 3.5 acres.

Description
Green Farm is a magnificent Grade II listed Cotswold farmhouse. Constructed of mellow stone elevations under a clay tiled roof, the property dates back to the late 17th century. The property had undergone a complete restoration and refurbishment transforming the original farmhouse, yard and buildings into an exceptional family country house.

The property has been sympathetically restored to an exceptional standard. Contemporary fixtures and furnishings sit very well alongside original architectural details such as exposed stone work, fireplaces and exposed beams. All improvements have been implemented with considerable style and attention to detail. The accommodation flows well over two levels and lends itself extremely well to modern day family living and entertaining.

Green Farm is situated in the heart of Nettleton, set well back from the lane with large well-manicured front gardens. The property is approached via a five-bar gate and gravelled driveway. There is ample parking to the front, side and rear.

Upon entering there is a generous reception hall with flagstone flooring. There are four main reception rooms, three of which are situated at the front of the house and enjoy views over the secluded front gardens. There is a comfortable sitting room with stone fireplace incorporating a wood burning stove. Like the sitting room, the dining room has original exposed beams and there is a beautiful inglenook fireplace. The third principle front room is a study that is fitted with bespoke cabinets and handmade furniture.

The property was successfully extended to provide a superb drawing room, which is of particular note. There are exposed beams and a fine stone-built fireplace with open fire. In addition there is a bespoke drinks-serving cabinet and double doors leading to the outside.

At the heart of the ground floor is a superb kitchen/breakfast room with aga, island unit and dining area. Also on the ground floor is a garden room and utility room.

On the first floor is a luxurious master suite with dressing room. There are four further bedrooms, a family bathroom and two shower rooms.

Adjacent to the main house is the most amazing barn which has been converted to provide a superb games/entertaining space. Equally, the barn could provide very comfortable ancillary accommodation as there is a fully-equipped kitchen, utility room and shower room. In addition there is a den area to the first floor.

The gardens and grounds are immaculate. Enclosed by a stone wall, the front gardens are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees providing privacy and seclusion to the front boundary. There are formal landscaped gardens to the side and rear of the house as well as a terrace perfectly suited for outdoor dining. There are various well-stocked and carefully-planted flower borders.

There are stabling and paddocks beyond the formal gardens with easy access from the rear of the house. Finally, there is a secluded pond with bbq/summer house.
