About this property

An impressive stone barn conversion lying in the heart of a delightful 15th Century church and farmhouse enclave, near Bradford on Avon and Bath. Situated at the end of a country lane, the village of Wingfield benefits from a primary school and country pub plus bus services.

Believed to date back to 1635, Elm Barn was converted in 2007 from the neighbour, Church Farm’s two original barns. The immediate impression is of enormous space and light in a unique setting. It has all the sought after attributes associated with a unique home located within a small community, at the end of a no-through country lane. The design of the home and the interior style has been carefully executed with period materials such as the oak frames and stone walls, fusing effortlessly with contemporary glass and fine workmanship. The monumental hall is a dining room; kitchen and garden room all in one, which together with a drawing room and sitting room make a generous but manageable family home. There is a ground floor bedroom and shower room and a beautifully designed curved staircase leads to the galleried first floor landing and to three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a study/occasional guest room. Elm Barn has all the charm of antiquity with the benefit of such modern conveniences as ground source heating, Ethernet cabling, heat recovery ventilation and rainwater harvesting for watering the garden.

Outside
Elm Barn is set within 2.5 acres. The half-acre garden, benefits from the focal point of which is the ancient farm pond now host to lilies, dragonflies, swallows and a visiting kingfisher. The pond is surrounded by attractive planting and the dining terrace, with direct access from the kitchen, creating the perfect layout for summer entertaining. There is also a superior garden shed/home office with power and water. A further terrace, with double glass doors opening from the main dining hall, has been carefully planted out to add to the relaxed ambience of the garden. A level lawn leads up to a larger lawn and side garden and to the enclosed two-acre field at the top of the garden. To the front, a neat lawn and flagstones lead up to the impressive entrance. There is a stone built mower shed and covered double parking in the old parlour. There is additional parking on the gravel.
