Upper Seagry, Nr Malmesbury, Wiltshire

Description

Hardinge House is an exceptional Grade II listed farmhouse beautifully situated in a delightful little-known rural location near the village of Upper Seagry with extensive southerly views over the surrounding countryside. The farmhouse is discreetly approached over a long drive set amongst wonderful gardens and grounds.

The farmhouse dates back to the late 18th Century and over the past few years has been extensively updated and modernised yet sympathetically retaining much of its original character. There have been significant improvements to many aspects including new bathrooms, a stunning kitchen, underfloor heating and extensive landscaping, plus the installation of solar PV panels. Further improvements have been made to the adjoining annexe which is currently utilised as a holiday let providing a valuable source of income. Planning consents have been granted to convert part of the outbuildings into an office and games room, as well as a proposed extension to the ground floor.  

The well-proportioned accommodation is spacious and light throughout enjoying lovely outlooks from each window across the gardens. The ground floor includes four well-proportioned reception rooms all with fireplaces. The newly updated kitchen is centred around a large island breakfast bar and is equipped with integrated appliances. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, a dressing room to the principal bedroom suite as well as an en-suite, and two further bathrooms.

The self-contained annexe has two bedrooms, a shower room and an open plan living/kitchen area. The annexe benefits from its own enclosed garden and is ideal for accommodating a family member or to continue as a holiday let. Also available by separate negotiation is 'The Piggery' which is also a successful holiday let, performing in the top 1% on Air BNB. The combined income from these two holiday lets is circa £70,000 in the last 12 months. 

Externally, there are a number of traditional Cotswold stone-built farm buildings including a Grade II listed tythe barn which has great scope for conversion. The outbuildings provide valuable storage and offer endless possibilities for further accommodation or other uses. In addition, there is a large railed paddock extending to around 3.47 acres bringing the whole to around 7 acres in all. The beautiful gardens are arranged to both the front and rear having been thoughtfully designed into various areas which include a sun terrace, vegetable garden with raised beds and a greenhouse, and an orchard.
