Littleton, Semington, Wiltshire, BA14

Step into history with this remarkable Grade II listed farmhouse, a captivating blend of medieval and Elizabethan architecture dating back to the 1400s. Once a manor farmhouse, the property has been thoughtfully restored, preserving its original character while introducing modern comforts. Steeped in heritage, the home boasts hand-cut elm and oak floorboards, exposed beams, and Elizabethan strapwork ceilings. Rumoured to have hosted Oliver Cromwell, it carries echoes of the past, from reclaimed parquet flooring from Trowbridge Town Hall to garage doors repurposed from the town’s old fire station. Set on 1.8 acres on the edge of Semington, this countryside retreat offers breathtaking farmland views, vibrant gardens, and enchanting outdoor spaces. Whether enjoying cosy winter nights by the fire or summer gatherings on the Cotswold stone terrace, this home is perfect for every season and occasion. ‘When we first purchased our home, it had been neglected for many years but we have carefully restored many of its original features and renovated the entire property. Both English Heritage and the Conservation Office were fully involved and consulted throughout the process,’ explain the owners.
Laid out over three characterful floors, the ground floor follows a traditional layout with a sitting room, breakfast room, and kitchen, complemented by the later addition of a sunroom. The first and second floors accommodate four bedrooms, three of which feature en suite facilities.
The property is not only an historical gem, boasting beautiful original features and generous proportions, but is surrounded by numerous charming villages set within easy reach of many local towns, the City of Bath, the M4, and train services to London.

‘We have converted, restored, insulated and fitted the workshop in the outbuildings into a studio/office with electrics, water and a wood burner.’

‘We are lucky enough to have windows on all four sides of the farmhouse, with three rooms boasting dual aspects.’

‘The garden is a haven of seasonal beauty, producing wild snowdrops, vibrant blossoms, a flourishing vegetable patch, and abundant fruit trees – culminating in sunny days filled with wisteria, strawberries, and sun-drenched Victoria plums.’

‘Areas such as the large paddock, which enabled us to have a marquee erected for our daughter's wedding reception, and the large wildlife pond make the grounds a special place to share with family, friends and nature.’

‘Great supermarkets are conveniently close, plus fantastic country pubs. Schools are excellent, and we enjoy National Trust sites, open gardens, and canal walks to Caen Hill Locks.’
