Charming gardens, 3 immaculate 2 bed cottages, Model farm buildings with extensive equestrian facilities
Pasture & paddocks, about 34 acres.

Manor Farm is an incredibly rare opportunity, being one of the principal houses in this sought-after village. It is a most handsome country house built in the early 19th Century of Chilmark and Hurdcott stone under a tile roof. Complimented by a range of model Victorian farm buildings incorporating superb equestrian facilities. The fabulous kitchen / breakfast area has been en-larged with a superb Marston & Langinger orangery which creates a great space at the heart of the house.

The owner of Manor Farm was an early adopter of the then new PV technology in 2011 and the owners now lead a carbon-positive life. They use no fossil fuel for heating, lighting or hot water. Their PV arrays have been running for 15 years and generate enough electricity for all of their needs and then some, allowing them to export the excess to the Grid. The production of clean green electricity at Manor Farm saves an equivalent of some 500 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide per year, offsetting the owners’ carbon footprint to the point where they have a net carbon-positive footprint.
