DESCRIPTION
Situated in a pretty position and surrounded by its own grounds, Fosse Barn has excellent and flexible accommodation as well as a south-easterly aspect over the two acres of gardens and nine acres of adjoining fields.
A private driveway winds through an orchard comprising of twenty-eight assorted fruit trees to the left and a row of lime trees to the right leading to a wide paved parking area. A cluster of trees near to the house include a cherry, walnut, rowan, Norwegian maple, cedar, Irish yew and the most spectacular weeping willow. To the south bordering the adjoining field are numerous silver birch, cherry, horse chestnut, small oaks and field maples.
The front doors open onto a generous reception hall which leads to a large sitting room with Cotswold stone fireplace and a substantial wood burning stove. French doors lead out to the large terraced area and garden.
A library/study sits to the front and is accessed from the sitting room. A separate family room has oak flooring and again leads out to the garden through French doors. The fitted kitchen is warmed by an oil-fired Aga and has plenty of storage and worktop space having a connected island unit. A step leads to a breakfast room/snug with French doors to the terrace and garden whilst separately there is a utility room with a stable door to the north.
The converted adjoining annex is currently used as an artist’s studio and could be used as separate accommodation for family or guests.
To the first floor all five bedrooms have the benefit of far-reaching rural views. The principal bedroom suite includes a dressing area and ensuite bathroom, the main guest bedroom also has an ensuite shower room. The additional three bedrooms, the largest of which has a sink and a shower, are served by the family bathroom.
The large level gardens to the rear are enclosed by hedges and fencing with two islands of mature shrubs, a flower garden, raised beds and a pond. To the side is a fenced area with a detached stone stable block with two stables, a tack room and a workshop/wood store. The remaining land is level and secure with stock fencing as well as natural hedging and dry-stone walling. Additional stock fencing forms a paddock with field shelter and some distance away a separate apiary. Access to the field is via five bar gates from the driveway, stables and from the garden.
SITUATION
Fosse Barn, situated adjacent to the ancient Roman Fosse Way, can be found marked on a map of Wilshire from 1773. A few hundred yards away was excavated a shrine to Apollo where a notable settlement for healing was found. North Wraxall is a charming and picturesque south Cotswold village made up of idyllic cottages and houses with a thriving grade 1 listed, 13th century local parish church which hosts classical concerts and other secular activities. Situated neatly between the equally attractive villages of West Kington and Castle Combe, it has a great community feel with a new village hall which is home to the local playgroup. There is also a book club, film society, walking group and North Wraxall Choir. The nearby villages of Yatton Keynell, Marshfield and Corsham provide numerous day to day amenities, with shops, pubs and schools. Chippenham has a mainline rail service to central London taking 75 minutes and the M4 Junction lies 6 miles to the North. Bath offers excellent shopping, leisure and sporting facilities. There are excellent public and private schools in the area.
The property is situated just outside of the conservation area, in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty.
