SITUATION
Butts Farm occupies a tranquil and elevated position facing south across the rural landscape of the Pewsey Vale towards the Salisbury Plain. It is situated 1 mile south of Hilcot within a conservation area and in the midst of the Pewsey Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Close by is the village of Upavon with two pubs, a post office and a deli store, Woodborough village, with a church, garden centre, pub/restaurant and an extremely popular primary school. Pewsey is about 4 miles away with more extensive facilities including main line rail service to London (approx. 1 hour) and popular market towns of Marlborough and Devizes are approx. 9 miles distance and the city of Salisbury is about 21 miles to the South. The village is surrounded by rolling open countryside and the Kennet and Avon canal runs close to the edge of the village.

DESCRIPTION
Butts Farm is a very special period farmhouse believed to date from the mid-18th Century with some later additions. It also has planning permission (reference K/045859) for a substantial two storey extension which would create a fantastic open plan kitchen/dining room , overlooking the beautiful fields, with a master suite to the first floor.

This country house offers ideal family living accommodation including the generous reception areas and bedrooms which are perfect for a growing family to be enjoyed over the generations. The house is set in a private plot and enjoys the most wonderful views over open fields and the countryside beyond.

The unique aspect of this property is the ground in which it is set, which expands to approximately 11 acres and includes a range of outbuildings which could be adapted and utilised for a range of uses. There is a large open-sided entertainment barn which is perfect for family celebrations or just sitting out around a fire pit and enjoying the views. There is a further Dutch Barn which, with the necessary planning permission, could be converted into additional accommodation, further stables or be made fully enclosed and used as a games room or gym. The three full sized stables, tack room and paddocks offer ideal equestrian facilities and there is ample space to fit an Olympic sized ménage should you wish. The outside snug/office is light and spacious and has been set up to work from home, or can be used as a teenage snug. However, with the necessary planning permission, it could easily be converted into an Airbnb to create an additional source of income or used as a separate annexe for a relative. The formal garden is laid to lawn and has mature flower borders and leads on to a further grassland area beyond. The grounds extend to a private area of woodland which is bordered by a tributary of the River Avon and makes a wonderful spot for camping or outdoor entertainment area. It could be utilised further by having a Shepherds Huts there, creating an idyllic woodland retreat. The large gravelled courtyard area around the house provides parking spaces for many vehicles.
