Full Details for 6 Bedroom Detached for sale in Westbury, BA13 :
Well appointed Grade II Listed farmhouse with six bedrooms and range of outbuildings. Comprising the following; four reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, boot room, two bathrooms, cellar, coach house, barn, stable and garage. Also offers gardens and paddock.Built in the eighteenth century, Hisomley Farmhouse is a home of incredible character with immense potential.We loved this farmhouse from the first moment we saw it, comments Anastasia. And we could see immediately the possibilities it had for our family. The location gave us a true country lifestyle, perfectly balanced with all the amenities required to provide an uncomplicated and smooth-running modern, family home. Schools, shops and other facilities are all within arms reach and yet here we have privacy with space to breathe and room to grow.Set in about 2.75 acres of magnificent Wiltshire countryside the views are of unspoilt lands, and even includes views of the Westbury White Horse, steeped in myth and the legend that it commemorated a battle won by King Alfred in 878. For anyone with equestrian interests, Hisomley Farmhouse offers almost 2 acres of grounds which have been currently devoted to paddocks. The paddocks are fenced, hedged, post and railed, with field shelters, access to water and easy gated access via the driveway. The riding in this area is superb, there are walks and bridleways in every direction, and we never have to touch a road. Being able to stable the horses at home is hugely advantageous and extremely convenient, adds Anastasia.The gardens around the farmhouse, barn and coach house are about three quarters of an acre, and being screened by mature hedges and trees the entire area is extremely private. The coach house has planning permission to convert to ancillary accommodation, which adds to the flexibility of the property.To the exterior the farmhouse is a delight; full of country charm and character, modestly hiding close the secret of its spacious nature. The house has ample room for visitors and provides six bedrooms and four reception rooms over three floors with a cellar perfect for storing wine. Original beams, panelling and an impressive inglenook fireplace with its attendant bread oven, wide panelled doors (some with their original rippled glass), all add to the joy of living in such a magnificent period home. Life is taking us in a new direction, says Peter we just wish we could take Hisomley with us: there is still so much more it has to offer. Hisomley Farmhouse gave us a lifestyle we always longed for and then so much more. Everyone who came to visit relaxed within minutes of being here, and I think one of our greatest joys was being able to share it all with our family and friends. Summers in the gardens, barbecues, and the children running and playing in absolute freedom, and many magical Christmas times.We have all enjoyed every single moment we have spent here and this wonderfully happy house with its incredible environment has been something we have all loved. It is something we shall treasure and miss, in equal measure.N.B. The Google Earth image is dated and the neighbouring property has been mostly cleared of parked cars.
