Sopworth, Chippenham, SN14 6PP

Hundred Acres Farm is an outstanding period house in a stunning elevated position surrounded by 360° views over the surrounding countryside and beyond.

The house has been subject to an extensive renovation and is offered in immaculate condition, having been sympathetically and carefully renovated to provide the perfect blend of old and new.

One of the many joys of Hundred Acres Farm is the easy and flexible layout, which lends itself perfectly to modern family living.

On the ground floor, there is a sitting room at the back of the house with a working wood burner and views over the surrounding countryside.

This room could also be a useful study, due to it being tucked away in a quiet corner of the house.

Across the front of the house, and leading off the hall, is a large drawing room which retains many features of the original late Georgian farmhouse.

This room comes complete with a working open fire and views out over the garden. This room is also south-facing, which benefits from an abundance of natural light.

On the west side of the house is a new extension, carefully constructed using traditional building materials.

This embodies the main living part of the house and comprises a generous kitchen, dining and living area.

The sitting room at the end of the space works well in the winter months, with a working wood burner, and makes this a year-round family space.

The room also features folding doors from the dining area, which leads out on to a sunny west-facing terrace.

The kitchen includes a range of integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, making this a sociable entertaining area. In addition to the kitchen, there is a plant room, pantry, and cloakroom.

Furthermore, the boot room gives a useful and practical area for coats and boots, as well as access to a separate utility room.

Upstairs the well-configured accommodation continues with two very good guest bedrooms and bathrooms, including period features, vaulted ceilings, and impressive views.

There are two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom and at the end of the house, with a well laid out principal suite, including a large dressing area and bathroom.

Outbuildings: Externally, there is a large original stone-built barn, which has a pending planning application to become a self-contained two bedroom ancillary accommodation.

Attached to this, there is a useful store. In addition to the period barn, there is a separate, newly constructed three-bay garage, complete with stairs leading to an attic space with Velux windows.

To the side of this is a separate store, which makes for a useful log and garden machinery store.

The barn has benefited from a new roof and extensive structural work, and, therefore, it is left as a blank canvas for a new buyer to put their own mark on how they would like to use the space.

Gardens and grounds: Outside there is just over 4.19 acres of gardens and grounds. The formal garden is to the south of the house and a wraparound terrace.

There is also a well, which was once the original source of water for the house but now, due to a pump, gives a useful supply of unchlorinated water for the garden.

To the east, a new plantation of trees has been established. The entire property benefits from being in an exceptionally peaceful and quiet location with barely another house in sight.

The house is approached by a sweeping tree-lined drive, giving access to a large gravelled parking area. Hundred Acres Farm is an exceptional house in a truly unique and peaceful location.

Furthermore, the property is offered in an exacting condition and is presented as a truly turnkey opportunity.

Services: Mains electricity, mains water, oil-fired central heating, private drainage, BT fibre broadband.
