Description

Offered to the market with No Onward Chain. Grove Farm is an exceptional unlisted Georgian farmhouse occupying a commanding hilltop position in the tranquil hamlet of Box Hill, set within approximately 40 acres of biodynamically managed pasture and ancient woodland. A mixed-use estate, it combines period elegance with practical country living and active income generation — a rare opportunity to acquire a truly versatile rural property just six miles from the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath.

The Residence
The four-bedroom farmhouse is beautifully proportioned, with three spacious reception rooms that balance grandeur with warmth. Original period details have been lovingly preserved throughout — elegant sash windows, an electric Aga and a traditional log burner create an interior that feels both timeless and welcoming. Unusually for a property of this heritage and calibre, the house is unlisted, offering future owners an exceptional degree of flexibility.
Grounds & Lifestyle
The estate extends to approximately 40 acres of pasture and woodland, managed biodynamically for twenty years to create a thriving, wildlife-rich ecosystem. Birdwatchers will delight in spotting Firecrests, Nuthatches and all three species of British Woodpecker.
The gardens are a productive paradise — multiple orchards yield apples, pears, cherries, plums and figs, while established asparagus beds, a kitchen garden and a wildflower-filled walled garden provide both beauty and abundance.
Outbuildings & Versatility
Practical country living is well catered for. A double garage, workshop and large greenhouse are all linked directly to the main house, providing convenient internal access year-round.
The estate offers exceptional versatility beyond the main residence. A self-contained annexe with its own private driveway and garden provides ideal accommodation for extended family or guests. Equestrian facilities include a large open stable with a dedicated yard and direct field access. A disused swimming pool with a spectacular valley outlook presents an exciting opportunity for restoration or reimagining as an infinity pool. Bramble Lodge and a range of further outbuildings present exciting development possibilities for those wishing to expand or enhance the estate, subject to planning.
Mixed Use: Income & Sustainability
Grove Farm generates active income streams, including solar panels and an established, tree-enclosed field operating as a popular Caravan and Motorhome Club Certificated Location, and an active grazing licence that can be continued by the incoming owner if desired.
Location
Despite its total rural serenity, Grove Farm is exceptionally well connected. The historic market town of Corsham is just three miles away, while Bath — with its world-class dining, shopping and schooling — is a mere six-mile drive. The panoramic views over the surrounding valleys are among the finest in Wiltshire.

Further Opportunities
Two additional luxury holiday barns are available for purchase under separate titles. Further details and pricing are available on enquiry.
