Description

Orchard Farm is the quintessential English country home – a beautifully presented retreat set amidst enchanting gardens on the edge of the highly sought-after Wiltshire village of Broughton Gifford.

Approached via a generous driveway with ample parking, this charming five-bedroom house sits within glorious grounds that feel wonderfully private and established. Sweeping lawns, graceful willow trees, tumbling roses and romantic rose arches create a picture-perfect setting, while a productive vegetable garden, three stables and useful outbuildings lend the property a delightful sense of country living at its most authentic.

Inside, Orchard Farm has been thoughtfully arranged for modern family life, combining elegant proportions with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. An impressive entrance hall sets the tone, opening to a spacious kitchen and dining room with patio doors leading directly onto the garden – an ideal space for everyday family meals and relaxed entertaining. A study and ground-floor double bedroom with en-suite shower room offer flexibility for guests, multi-generational living or home working.

To the rear of the house, a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms overlook the gardens, including a formal dining room, an inviting sitting room and a substantial family room with French doors opening outside, perfectly suited to gatherings throughout the seasons. A practical utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs are four further double bedrooms, four of the home's five bedrooms benefiting from en-suite facilities. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring its own dressing room, while a large loft space offers excellent storage potential.

Occupying a peaceful position with far-reaching countryside views, Orchard Farm enjoys the best of both worlds: a tranquil setting immersed in nature, yet within easy reach of the thriving village community of Broughton Gifford. With its attractive interiors, idyllic gardens and equestrian possibilities, this is a home designed for family life, entertaining and embracing the timeless pleasures of the English countryside.

Despite its rural setting, Orchard Farm is exceptionally well placed for enjoying some of the West Country's most desirable destinations. The historic city of Bath, with its renowned cultural scene, fine dining and shopping, is within easy reach, as is the charming market town of Bradford on Avon. For commuters, fast rail services from both Bath Spa and Chippenham provide regular connections to London Paddington, while the nearby M4 offers convenient road access to London, Bristol and the wider Southwest. The area offers excellent schooling for all ages, including the highly regarded Stonar School.
