Rudge Hill Farmhouse is a substantial, newly renovated period house set in about 2.25 acres with extensive outbuildings and a detached one‑bed annexe. The main house blends a c.1695 core with a substantial c.1840 Georgian extension to provide large, versatile living spaces across approximately 6,186 sq ft — four reception rooms, a vaulted Smallbone kitchen and five double bedrooms, each with an en suite. Solar panels and an air‑source heat pump reduce running costs, and generous terraces and lawns take full advantage of far-reaching countryside views, including Salisbury Plain.
The property suits an established family or buyers seeking a rural lifestyle with good access to Frome and main roads. Practical benefits include plentiful gravel driveway parking, a substantial outbuilding with three garages and four open bays, and a handsome formal garden with entertaining terraces, kitchen garden and a unique triple pond. The detached annexe (‘The Barn’) provides immediate flexible accommodation for guests, home office or rental income.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the house EPC is rated E (the annexe D), broadband speeds in the hamlet are very slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The setting is rural and private — ideal for seclusion but requiring a car for daily travel and services. Lotting is in three parts (Lot 1: c.2.25 acres, Lot 2: c.5.07 acres, Lot 3: c.2.35 acres) if additional paddocks are of interest.
Overall this is a rare, characterful farmhouse marrying period features with modern amenities and large-scale grounds. It will appeal to buyers wanting immediate, flexible living and outdoor space, while those prioritising high-speed internet or the top EPC ratings should factor in potential upgrades.
