in detail
Old Loves Farm is a beautifully restored Grade II listed farmhouse dating from the early eighteenth century, set within approximately one acre of private grounds on the edge of open countryside.
The property combines the architectural charm and character expected of a historic Wiltshire farmhouse with carefully considered modern renovations, creating a home that is both elegant and highly functional for contemporary living. The farmhouse is constructed from traditional rubblestone beneath a stone slate roof and has been recognised for its historic significance since being listed in 1985.
Approached through electronic gates and one of two private driveways, the property immediately offers a sense of privacy and arrival. Mature gardens surround the house, opening onto a paddock and orchard beyond.
Original architectural features - including exposed beams, natural stonework and fireplaces - sit comfortably alongside contemporary finishes and carefully designed living spaces.
At the heart of the home is a generous farmhouse kitchen fitted with high-quality cabinetry and stone worktops, designed as both a practical family space and a natural hub for entertaining.
The ground floor also offers a number of versatile reception rooms including:
- An elegant dining room
- A comfortable sitting room with feature fireplace
- A snug or family room
- A home office
- Utility and cloakroom facilities
These spaces create a home ideally suited to both family living and entertaining.
Upstairs, the accommodation includes five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom suite and further guest and family bedrooms served by additional bathrooms.
Completely self-contained with its own entrance, kitchen and living space, the annexe currently operates as a high-performing holiday rental generating approximately £50,000 per annum.
This provides a proven income stream while also offering exceptional flexibility for:
- multi-generational living
- guest accommodation
- home office or studio space
- continued commercial use
Income-producing residential estates of this nature are rarely available.
Currently being used as an Air&bnb the property has over 57 5 star reviews.

- Mature fruit orchard with apple, plum and sloe trees
- Grass paddock
- Two stables
- Extensive lawns surrounding the house
Additional features include:
- Two private driveways
- Electronic gated entrance
- Detached double garage with electric doors
