Description
Barrow Farmhouse is a historical Grade II listed timber-framed farmhouse boasting a plethora of well-preserved character and charm. Dating back to the 16th Century, the farmhouse is a notable property of importance within the North Wiltshire area featured in Chippenham Museum and frequently mentioned in the diaries of Francis Kilvert. The farmhouse was thoroughly renovated in the 1980s and is available to the market for the first time in over 40 years. The farmhouse is situated on the outskirts of the village of Langley Burrell located on the very edge of Chippenham and is easily accessible to a broad range of amenities.
Rurally located and accessed by a private no-through lane, the property is accompanied by an extensive range of outbuildings with residual features from the former working dairy farm. The outbuildings have ample scope for conversion into offices or ancillary accommodation.
The farmhouse’s grounds extend to 0.92 acres comprising a large, mature wraparound garden and additional small paddock (0.35 acre) situated across the drive in front of the house providing a lovely outlook.
The principal house accommodation is arranged over three floors extending in all to 2,637 sq.ft. The ground floor layout comprises two reception rooms, a traditional farmhouse style kitchen and utility room. The drawing room is a notable feature filled with natural light through a dual-aspect, with a large brick fireplace and exposed timber beams. On the first floor there are four bedrooms all enjoying countryside views and the main bathroom. The top floor includes a further bedroom accompanied by an additional bathroom. There is also a sizable attic on the top floor providing storage.

The village is surrounded by beautiful Wiltshire countryside with ample walking routes to explore including the 15th Century Maud Heath’s Causeway.
