The original mansion, Hook House, built by William Hornby in 1790 was modelled on Government House in Bombay, where he was the Governor, on land given to him on his retirement by the British Government. Over the ensuing years the house was neglected by his descendants but early in the 20th century a new owner started a renovation project but it is likely that a fire was accidentally started by contractors working on the house and it was totally destroyed and never rebuilt so the land was sold for development. Located on a large plot of 1.3 acres Cotswold House is a substantial family home with an attractive facade to the front that is approached over a sweeping gravel driveway which leads to the front entrance, two double length garages with space for 8 cars, a single garage attached to the Pool House and ample parking for several cars.

A principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom and 3 further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a small nursery are all on this floor. Outside there is a single story building of 543 sq ft currently used as a one bedroom home called The Pool House which could easily be converted ( subject to planning regulations) to create a gym, sauna, spa, showers and changing rooms for the pool(currently unused) that is located to the front of this building. Adjoining the main house there is a double length garage with a 2 bedroom flat that has a kitchen/living area above and a separate entrance to the rear. Between the house and garage is an internal yard currently used as a dog run and kennel. There is a gardener's WC there too. The second double length garage is detached with a one bedroom Garden Flat above. Both these buildings lend themselves to re-development as a home office or incorporation into the main house to create more space.

The ideal owners would be a family who would appreciate the warm and friendly atmosphere and space for welcoming friends to enjoy all the fun that the house has to offer. Or anyone who loves entertaining! What do you love most about the house and why? Every room works perfectly, whatever you want to use it for. Gardens that feel spacious but manageable. I love the pool in summer and endless games of tennis. What do you love about the local community? A lovely friendly atmosphere, with community groups, the choir, the active local church, walking distance of two pubs and easy reach of Marlborough and its many amenities. How easy is it to commute from here? Excellent train links from Bedwyn, Pewsey and Swindon; fifteen minutes and half an hour to Swindon. My husband commuted for twenty years to central London What made you choose the property over others? We fell in love with the property, a grand old house with lovely big rooms, high ceilings, an attractive garden and wonderful views. It was also incredibly convenient for excellent secondary schools in the area. Internal Accommodation: The house unfolds with an ease that is rarely found, where each space connects naturally to the next. Light moves effortlessly throughout, enhancing the sense of openness while retaining a comforting intimacy. The principal rooms are quietly impressive rather than overtly grand — elegant spaces that invite conversation, relaxation and time spent together. Garden views are ever-present, drawing the outside in and reinforcing the connection to the surrounding landscape. At its heart, the kitchen is warm and characterful — a space that feels lived-in and loved, where mornings begin slowly and evenings gather pace around the table. Upstairs, the atmosphere remains calm and restorative. Bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged, offering both privacy and flexibility, while the upper level provides an additional space that lends itself to creativity, retreat or quiet reflection. Outside The gardens are a true extension of the house — mature, private and deeply peaceful. Sweeping lawns and established trees create a sense of seclusion, while the walled garden offers a more intimate setting, sheltered and serene. As the seasons change, so too does the experience of the grounds; from long summer afternoons by the pool to crisp mornings with far-reaching views across open farmland. Tucked discreetly within the grounds, the Coach House provides beautifully independent accommodation — ideal for guests, extended family or a more contemporary way of working from home. Leisure and lifestyle sit naturally here, with space to entertain, unwind and enjoy — whether that's a game of tennis, time spent poolside, or simply the quiet luxury of being surrounded by nature. Location Positioned within the Avebury World Heritage landscape, the setting is both remarkable and deeply grounding — a place where history, nature and open space combine in a way that feels increasingly rare. Marlborough, just a short drive away, offers a vibrant contrast — a historic market town with a strong sense of community, excellent schooling and an enviable mix of independent shops, restaurants and cultural life. For those drawn to the outdoors, the surrounding countryside is exceptional, with endless opportunities for walking, riding and exploring. At the same time, excellent transport links ensure London and the wider South West remain within easy reach, making this as practical as it is beautiful. Services: Main House - Mains water, electricity, and drainage. Oil central heating. Coach House - Mains water, electricity, and septic tank drainage.

Dating back to the 17th century, the handsome stone farmhouse forms the centrepiece of the estate, surrounded by mature gardens, open pasture and far-reaching countryside. Extending to over 8,000 square feet, the main residence effortlessly balances period character with modern family living. A welcoming reception hall, complete with a traditional turning staircase and galleried landing, leads to an array of beautifully proportioned reception rooms where stone fireplaces, exposed timbers and mullioned windows provide warmth, charm and a tangible sense of history. The kitchen and family room is undoubtedly the heart of the home; a space designed for modern country living where family breakfasts evolve into relaxed entertaining, and where the changing seasons are enjoyed through views across the gardens and estate beyond.

Few residential estates offer such a substantial and versatile agricultural asset alongside luxury family accommodation. The approximately 70 acres comprise a diverse mix of pasture, productive agricultural land and newly established woodland, creating both an attractive landscape and a practical landholding capable of supporting a variety of rural pursuits. Footpaths meander through the estate, inviting exploration and providing a deep connection to the surrounding Mendip landscape. Offering over 23,000 square feet of combined accommodation and estate buildings, Rookery Farm represents far more than a home. It is a complete country estate where family life, equestrian ambitions, agricultural interests and countryside living come together in perfect harmony. Positioned within easy reach of Wells, Bath and Bristol, this is a truly rare opportunity to acquire one of Somerset's most significant private rural residences.

For those with equestrian interests, the setting is particularly appealing, with adjoining paddocks, stabling and an arena creating a ready-made environment for horse owners, while the grounds and outbuildings also lend themselves to a variety of other lifestyle pursuits. Whether your vision is centred around horses, multigenerational living, working from home or simply enjoying more space around you, this is a home that offers rare flexibility. The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the magnificent outlook, with light-filled rooms and a layout that can evolve with changing needs. There is exciting scope, subject to any necessary consents, to create a self-contained annexe, extend the living accommodation further, or reconfigure parts of the house to suit a growing family or dependent relative. Altogether, this is far more than simply a house with land, it is a home that offers a genuine Somerset country lifestyle, where open views, practical facilities and future potential come together in a truly special setting. SELLERS INSIGHT I fell in love with ‘Sedge Heights’ the moment we drove through the impressive gates and encountered the sweeping drive and impressive views over the Somerset countryside. Upon entering the property, I knew straight away we would be very happy there. The property was light and airy with very spacious, versatile accommodation. I was impressed with the post and rail paddocks, stabling and all weather ménage. I knew my pony would love it and couldn’t wait to have him living ‘on site’. Without delay we put in an offer and was delighted it was accepted. Upon moving in I soon realised there were 3 bird/nature reserves within a 3-mile radius. These are a great place to see nature at its finest within the wonderful Somerset landscape. I will be so sad to leave my beautiful home but am now ready to move on to life’s next adventure. STEP INSIDE Designed with flexibility in mind, Sedge Heights can be enjoyed exactly as it is or adapted to suit a variety of living arrangements. The layout lends itself particularly well to the creation of an accessible ground floor integral annexe for a relative, while, subject to any necessary consents, the two first-floor attic rooms could be converted into more formal first-floor living accommodation. The generous triple-aspect sitting room has been designed to make the very most of the setting and views, with doors opening directly onto the patio. The beautifully fitted kitchen/dining room is well appointed with a range of integrated appliances, including Neff double ovens and hob, all set within granite worktops, together with the added convenience of an instant hot and cold tap. Connecting seamlessly, the utility room provides ample additional storage and workspace, with a door to the outside making it ideal for outdoor clothing and day-to-day practicality. A matching range of units continues the high-quality finish established in the kitchen. To the front, the generous sun/garden room takes full advantage of the glorious outlook, with remote-controlled roof blinds providing welcome shade and convenience. There are two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, one arranged as a Jack and Jill. A door from the hall leads through to the principal suite, which has the potential to function as a self-contained area of accommodation for a relative. The principal bedroom is an excellent size and enjoys commanding views over the gardens, with a door opening directly outside. In addition, there is a large dressing room, which could, if required, be adapted to create a kitchen area, and a generous bathroom fitted with a large shower enclosure and separate bath. Stairs rise from the hall to the first floor, where there are two useful attic rooms with Velux windows and standing height to the centre. Subject to any necessary consents, these rooms could be adapted to create even more versatile accommodation.

Gates open into the enclosed rear yard, where the stable block provides four stables, a tack room with hot and cold water and electricity, together with a store.

Also within the yard is a double garage. Immediately behind the house is a further garden area with a fully enclosed swimming pool, offering privacy and safety. Whilst our clients have not used the pool for swimming, they have found it extremely useful for rainwater storage and, with the aid of a pump, have benefited from a free water supply for the gardens. Beyond the yard, a five-bar gate provides excellent access to the paddocks, and at the far end is a purpose-built school/arena with sand and rubber surface.

SELLERS INSIGHT One of the main attractions of Orchard Barn, apart from its beautiful location with far reaching views, was the potential we could see in how the property would allow us flexibility to provide for multi-generational living. We created an internal annexe for our Mother, with its own lounge/kitchen area, plus a young adult space for our eldest with seating area and en suite. In addition, we could see the potential for additional income, where we converted the external annexe as a holiday let. All handled via Cottages.com - it could not be easier! To keep the whole family active, as well as the many walks in the area, we re-instated the tennis court and renovated the swimming pool, which being heated, enables its use for longer periods whatever the weather.
