north WiltshireManor Farm is situated on the edge of the picturesque hamlet of Draycot Cerne, in a peaceful location at the end of a no through road surrounded by open countryside. The neighbouring villages of Kington Langley, Sutton Benger and Stanton St Quinton are active parishes with popular pubs, village shops, a post office and a service station. The larger centres of Chippenham (3 miles) and Malmesbury (8 miles) offer an extensive range of shopping and recreational facilities in addition to those available in nearby Cirencester, Bath and Bristol.
The area is extremely well served for communications with easy access to the M4 motorway at Junction 17. There is direct access to Bath, Bristol, the M5 and London with regular
commuter rail services running from Chippenham and Swindon stations direct to London Paddington, taking approximately 75 minutes and 60 minutes respectively. In addition Bristol International and Heathrow Airports are both within easy reach.
The house is well located for sporting opportunities including golf at Castle Coombe, Bowood and Westonbirt, polo at Cirencester and Westonbirt, motor racing at Castle Coombe, hunting with the Duke of Beaufort’s hounds, rugby at Bath and water sports at the Cotswold Water Park. Education in the area is first class with popular private and public schools; of notable mention are Westonbirt and St Mary’s Calne, Marlborough College and the Royal and Bath High in Bath, as well as nearby Grittleton School.
manor Farm• Manor Farm is a most attractive Grade II Listed former
farmhouse which has been completely modernised and presented to a high standard.
• To the side of the house is an extensive gravel parking area going past the cottage and leading on to the impressive American barn style stable yard with the home office and the former coach house beyond.
• The stable yard forms a pretty courtyard between the coach house and cottage. There are private gardens and an outside entertaining space easily accessible through the French doors and oak bi-fold door which open from the kitchen and family dining room.
• Beyond the garden is an orchard area and post and rail paddocks with a hard track leading to the pasture land beyond.
• Within the grounds is an all-weather riding arena which, if not required, is an ideal location for a tennis court, swimming pool or vegetable garden.
• Manor Farmhouse has many attractive features with striking stone and rendered elevations under a natural Cotswold stone tile roof and fine Ashlar stone chimney stacks as well as mullion windows with leaded lights to the main part of the house, which makes Manor Farm so attractive.
• The house has been modernised and improved and is an ideal home for family living and entertaining. The reception hall forms the centre of the house, leading through to the drawing room with an Inglenook fireplace, passing the study and sitting room.
• The current owners have added a family room/dining room/kitchen to provide open plan everyday living space with a fine stone fireplace and bi-fold doors and French windows that lead outside to the courtyard garden with views over the formal borders and paddocks beyond.
• The spacious master bedroom with en-suite bath and shower rooms as well as a dressing room has views over the garden.
• There are a further five bedrooms, family bath and shower room and a third shower room on the second floor.
• Bedrooms 5 and 6 have restricted headroom in places and fabulous views over the grounds.

the cottage
• Attached to the main house is a beautifully presented cottage providing ancillary
accommodation to the main house or staff accommodation. It has an open plan living
room with kitchenette at the far end and a bedroom and separate shower room WC.
• To the west is a range of open fronted timber framed stores which could be
incorporated as a part or whole to provide further accommodation if required and
subject to the necessary consent. The Barn is currently being used as a bicycle and
open frontage store.
coach house
• Across the courtyard is the former coach house of which the first floor has been
beautifully converted to provide a home office with separate kitchen and shower room
that could easily become ancillary accommodation. Below is a garden store, stable
and a secure wine store.
the stables
• The fabulous American barn stable complex has been built of natural stone under a clay
tile roof and despite its recent construction, it fits in incredibly well providing 9 stables
and a tack room. The stables could easily be removed to create a workshop, garage,
studio or other similar uses.
• Beyond the coach house, services by a hard track, are turnout paddocks with well
maintained post and rails and pastureland divided by a natural hedge. From the fields
are fabulous views over the open countryside.
