Set within about 7.36 acres of rolling Wiltshire countryside, The Stable at Flaxlands Manor Farm offers a rare combination of space and versatility. The property comprises a main Victorian farmhouse and a converted stable block, together providing roughly 6,564 sq ft across up to nine bedrooms and extensive reception space — ideal for multi-generational living or part-income use. Private gardens and a walled garden for the stable house create secure outdoor space for children, pets and small-scale equestrian or hobby use.
Practical strengths include separate driveways for each dwelling, a four-bay garage, mains water and electricity, fibre broadband availability, and excellent mobile signal. The location sits close to Royal Wootton Bassett, Malmesbury and the M4 corridor, with several highly regarded schools nearby and good sporting facilities in the area. The property’s robust Victorian brick construction and period features give it genuine character and generous room proportions throughout.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the listing states recent renovation but the main house was also refurbished and extended around 25 years ago — prospective purchasers should verify the timing and scope of works. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow despite fibre availability, drainage is private (septic), and council tax is described as quite expensive. There is scope to separate or develop further, but this would require the proper planning permissions and surveys.
Overall, this is a substantial family estate or income-capable country home for buyers seeking space, privacy and rural amenities close to good schools and transport links. It suits families wanting separate living wings, those seeking rental potential, or purchasers prepared to confirm services and permissions before committing.
