THE PROPERTY
Nonsuch comprises a small rural estate centered around a beautiful William and Mary house, a property that was originally built as a hunting lodge, possibly as early as 1645. Over the years, a number of buildings within the stable block have been converted, the house divided and adjoining properties retained. Supporting the principal house are six further properties which provide rental income to the estate. Nonsuch still enjoys the benefit of a private stable yard and Lot 1 extends in all to 59.54 acres, which is predominantly parkland with small areas of amenity woodland lying along the southern boundary. A second lot of farmland comprising 27.24 acres lies to the west. Together, the land hosts an informal shoot.
LOCATION
Nonsuch is located off the A3102 Westbrook Road, just over 1 mile from the village of Bromham and a further 5 miles from the famous Natural Trust village of Lacock. Chippenham lies approximately 7 miles to the north with its main line rail service to London Paddington (approx. 75 mins). Bath lies approximately 16 miles west and J17 of the M4 is 9 miles to the north.
AMENITIES
The village of Bromham and both Devizes and Melksham offer an excellent range of day to day facilities.

The house is approached through entrance gates off the A3102 to a courtyard and parking area.
The extensive accommodation comprises, on the ground floor, reception hall leading to the sitting room, drawing room, dining room, kitchen, utility/scullery and butler’s pantry. On the first floor there is a galleried landing, 5 double bedrooms, single bedroom, study, shower room and two family bathrooms. On the second floor, there are three further bedrooms (one used as playroom and the other as a store) and two attic rooms with potential for conversion to further bedrooms. Traditional wine cellars lie below the ground floor. Throughout the house there are numerous period features including beautiful fireplaces, panelling, mouldings and a fine stamped Spanish leather wall covering in the hall.
