Winkworth are selling agents for Rowden Manor - an exceptional stone built farmhouse, Listed Grade II*, situated in a lovely rural spot just on the southern edge of Chippenham in the parish of Lacock.

The present Rowden Manor dates from around 1540 (with Aubrey records showing that the courtyard house together with a hall was burnt down during the Civil War.) The house was owned in the 17th Century by Sir Edward Hungerford of Farleigh Castle and Member of Parliament for Chippenham.

The main house has a stone flagged entrance and is brimming with character and interest, with a pretty staircase, stone mullioned windows, aged timber posts and beams, elegant fireplaces and an oak panelled drawing room. The attached, Barn-like Maltings has a breathtaking amount of space and scope as a professional studio to showcase arts and crafts.

This outstanding property stands in substantial grounds and has a range of outbuildings, including a studio office, a 20ft orangery and a charming dovecote. The garden has a charming blend of formal flower borders and ornamental ponds as well as informal grass lawns and conservation areas. Within the garden lies a former moat and fish pond (no longer in use), together with former historic ruins which are all scheduled ancient monuments.

Situated at the end of a long lane and with a secure gated entrance, this fine house is conveniently located only around ten minutes drive from the M4.

Rowden Manor is on the market at £1,750,000. Click here to download property brochure.
