Description

Occupying a peaceful and private corner plot in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Hinton Parva, this exceptional period farmhouse is complemented by a beautifully converted former agricultural barn, together creating a remarkable country home extending to almost 3,400 sq ft. Offering outstanding flexibility, the property is perfectly suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or those seeking a lifestyle with versatile ancillary space.

Surrounded by open countryside and an attractive collection of historic village homes, the property effortlessly combines timeless character with remarkable versatility, offering an increasingly rare opportunity for multi-generational living, home working, guest accommodation or income potential. The original farmhouse is full of warmth and charm, retaining many period features that reflect its heritage.

Offering exceptional flexibility, remarkable character and significant ancillary accommodation, this is a truly unique village home that presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period property with a beautifully converted barn in one of the area's most desirable rural settings.

At its heart lies a spacious farmhouse kitchen, complete with an oil-fired Aga, traditional cabinetry and ample room for informal family dining. Two generous reception rooms provide comfortable and flexible living space, each enjoying a wealth of natural light and character, with one centred around a striking inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove, creating an inviting setting throughout the seasons. The second reception room also benefits from a fireplace with a multi fuel stove.

The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite featuring a contemporary open-plan ensuite shower area. A modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, while the overall layout offers an excellent balance of family practicality and period charm.

The main farmhouse has benefited from comprehensive recent roof works, allowing prospective purchasers to move in with confidence.

A particular highlight of the property is the remarkable converted barn. Rich in architectural character, the vaulted interior showcases magnificent exposed timber trusses, creating an impressive sense of scale and atmosphere. This expansive open-plan reception and dining space provides endless possibilities, whether as an entertaining venue, games room, studio or additional family accommodation.

Adjoining this space are further reception rooms, office accommodation, workshop facilities and cloakroom, making the barn equally well suited to those seeking a home business, creative workspace or potential annexe accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside, the property occupies an established and secluded plot with mature gardens wrapping around the house, providing an excellent degree of privacy and a wonderful setting in which to relax or entertain. The gardens are thoughtfully planted with a variety of shrubs, trees and seasonal planting, while the peaceful village setting enjoys immediate access to the surrounding countryside, ideal for walking, cycling and equestrian pursuits.

The property sits within a designated conservation area, encompassing the picturesque grass triangle to the front, the three neighbouring thatched cottages, Somerset Farm House, and St. Swithun's Church. Church Farm itself holds listed building status, with the listing extending to the curtilage walls surrounding the barn/annexe. Church Farm Cottage, however, falls outside the conservation area boundary and is not a listed building.

Hinton Parva remains one of Wiltshire’s most sought-after villages, celebrated for its idyllic rural setting, beautiful period homes and strong sense of community. Surrounded by rolling countryside and on the doorstep of The Coombes National Trust - renowned for its breathtaking chalk downland, scenic walking routes and abundant wildlife - the village offers an exceptional lifestyle for nature lovers.

The nearby villages of Shrivenham and Bishopstone provide a useful range of everyday amenities. Shrivenham offers shops, cafés, restaurants, public houses, a doctors’ surgery and other essential services, while Bishopstone is home to a well-regarded primary school. Families are also within easy reach of the highly regarded Pinewood School in Bourton.

Despite its peaceful setting, Hinton Parva enjoys excellent connectivity to Swindon, Cirencester, the A419 and M4, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a country lifestyle without compromising on convenience.
