Brockvere“We had always wanted to build our own home,” says Sue, “and twenty-eight years ago we got the chance to do just that in this absolutely stunning location. We took inspiration from the great many property shows that we had visited and built a beautiful timber-framed, stone-faced house with a very traditional and comfortable layout.”

This very attractive home, which has been constructed in a style that fits perfectly with the narrative of its glorious surroundings, is situated in a wonderfully rural location just a few miles from Westbury town centre.

“We designed it to be a real family home,” says Sue, “and as is usually the case I’d say that the large kitchen/diner is the real heart of our home. It has the feel of a real country kitchen and of course has an Aga; I wouldn’t be without my Aga.” “We have a huge drawing room that leads straight into the conservatory, and we also put in two cloakrooms downstairs,” adds Barry, “which is great for country living as the muddy boots don’t need to go any further.”

“The overall style of the house is traditional,” says Sue, “so we have used lots of wood throughout, and there are a great many lovely features scattered here and there. In the main living room, for example, we have a very nice open fire, which is wonderful in the wintertime, and we had the fire surround carved in stone to our own design; it’s a beautiful focal point of the room.”

“From the conservatory there are huge patio doors that create a really nice connection to the garden,” says Sue, “which is lovely when the weather is warm. Beyond them we have a nice patio terrace and a decked area with a table and chairs, and then the rest of the outside space is very much a woodland garden.” “We also have stables just far enough away from the house,” adds Barry, “and it may be possible for any prospective buyer to purchase an additional two acres, should they want to keep horses.”

“Living here we have the countryside feel and yet it’s also extremely convenient,” says Sue. “We’re surrounded by an array of towns and villages, and places like Bath and Salisbury are very easy to reach. We’re spoilt for choice in terms of places to shop and eat out, and the mainline stations at Westbury and Trowbridge enable us to venture further afield.” “We also have some lovely pubs close by,” adds Barry, “and the farm shop at Beckington sells fresh local produce and has a lovely café.”

“Selling Brockvere has been a long, hard decision,” says Sue, “but we’re moving to be nearer to our family. We will be terribly sad to leave as it has been a wonderful home for a great many years.”*
