Lower North Wraxall, Chippenham, SN14

Setting the Scene

Situated in the desirable, unspoilt hamlet of North Wraxall, Coxes Hill Farm presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It lies 7 miles N.W. of Chippenham, and 9 miles N.E. of the beautiful Georgian city of Bath.

North Wraxall (The Anglo-Saxon word Werochesalle meaning "where buzzards fly") is recorded in the Domesday Book in 1085. It is one of the five hamlets in the eponymous Parish - a strong community, with many events and clubs – including the Take Five Community Choir and the annual Village Show hosted by St James’ Church.

In 2011 the village ‘Pop Up Shop’ was started - regular Pop ups selling high quality local produce from beautiful organic meat or cheese to chic designer cushions.

The vibrant village of Marshfield is a mere 2.5 miles away, offering a range of amenities including a GP, post office, several pubs, and a village store. Families will appreciate the proximity to well-regarded village primary schools in both Marshfield and Yatton Keynell, as well as the excellent schools of Bath located just 9 miles away.

The Property

Dating back to the 15th Century, this exquisite Grade II listed semi-detached home was once an Old Chantry (private chapel). Even more captivating than the house in popular filmThe Holiday, this exceptional Cotswold stone property is filled with period features and boasts a unique cinematic heritage of it’s own, having been a filming location for The Beehive.

Set over two floors, the home offers three generously sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a beautifully appointed Shaker kitchen. At its heart, a spacious sitting room exudes warmth and character, centred around a magnificent Inglenook fireplace.

The charm extends outdoors, where a beautifully maintained garden, with mature trees and shrubs, enjoys breath-taking views of the By Brook River. A large driveway provides ample parking for up to five cars, while a custom-built outdoor kitchen—complete with a rotisserie grill, pizza oven and spit—creates an idyllic space for alfresco dining and entertaining.

While meticulously maintained, this rare gem offers an exciting opportunity for some thoughtful modernisation, allowing you to tailor it to your taste while preserving its rich history and charm.
