The house is a superior modern country house constructed and extended in the last 25 years to provide a wonderful private family home and entertaining space.

There is large open plan kitchen with a dining and seating area, two formal reception rooms and a dining hall as well as an interconnected party barn with bar and cinema.

On the first floor the principal bedroom suite has two dressing areas and sits on the east side along with two further bedrooms and a bathroom. On the west side two further bedrooms and a bathroom and the second floor provides flexible accommodation with three rooms and a family bathroom.

On the north side of the house beyond the laundry and wine cellar is a useful annexe with ground floor bedroom and bathroom. It has a lovely full height sitting room with kitchenette and its own private terrace.

The house is approached along a private drive which splits to provide a formal entrance sweeping around to the south side of the house and also to a parking area at the rear of the house. There is separate parking for the annexe.

The gardens and grounds have been carefully designed and have matured to provide a beautiful setting offering complete privacy. The courtyard garden is an RHS Chelsea award winning water garden design and the large east facing lawn is a full-size croquet lawn.

The walled swimming pool is accessed through the courtyard garden with a beautifully finished pavilion with a seating area, bathroom and separate kitchen.

A large well-established vegetable and cut flower garden with glass house and productive orchard with a range of fruit trees sit to the north of the pool along with a hard tennis court in very good condition.

There are two large general purpose agricultural buildings on the northwest side of the house. One barn is used for general farm storage and the other larger barn was previously used for stabling which could be reinstated.

The outbuildings can be accessed from the main drive and have a separate secondary access from the road. This access passes the now mothballed menage and horse walker both of which could be reinstated.

STABLE COTTAGE: The larger barn has been partially converted under Class Q Permitted Development (20/03134/PNCOU) to provide further accommodation with two bedrooms, an open plan living area, bathroom and boot room.

The land is ring fenced around the house with a large pasture field to the south of the house planted with parkland trees and expansive views up to the Cherhill White Horse. The current owners carried out a major programme of tree planting in 2012, to coincide with the Diamond Jubilee, with over 10,000 trees improving the biodiversity of the site and the visual aesthetics, creating attractive vistas and screening to enhance the privacy.

The agricultural land comprises approximately 95 acres of pastureland, 34 acres in arable production and 36 acres of woodland. A family shoot has been operated across the land providing up to 10 days a year.

On the east side of the farm there is a separate road access into a stunning valley with a tree lined track up to a large pond where the topography creates a bowl where there may be potential for an additional landscape led house of exceptional quality.

Mount Farm is situated on the edge of the picturesque village of Bremhill which lies to north of Calne with views across to the striking North Wessex Downs AONB.

The small village of Bremhill has an active community with excellent village pub (in walking distance) the Dumb Post Inn.

Calne, less than 3 miles to the south, provides excellent day-to-day shopping facilities whilst the towns of Chippenham, Marlborough and Devizes provide a more comprehensive range of both shops and amenities. The charming market town of Marlborough (16 miles) is of particular note and offers a number of boutiques and specialist shops as well as a selection of wine bars, restaurants and a calendar of cultural events. The compact, Georgian city of Bath, with its renowned music festival, fine theatre and famous array of historic sites and museums, lies approximately 24 miles away.

Schools in the area are exceptional, with St Margaret's, St Mary's Calne, Marlborough College and Westonbirt with many well rega
