We moved to the house before we had children and have created a home that has seen our children grow from babies to adults. It's an ideal property to enable a work life balance.What do you love most about the house and why?The house has kerb appeal but it doesn't show its true identity until you step through the door and it reveals its true colours, each room has been decorated with a quirky style we are very proud of. During the summer the garden comes into its own with the pool being used most days, it's like being on holiday every day. Honeycroft has become the social hub for our family gatherings, and we have enjoyed hosting events and friends on numerous occasions.What do you love about the local community?When we moved into Cherhill our neighbours introduced us to village life and helped us quickly be part of the community, joining in is optional and all are welcome.

Fine & Country are delighted to present Lydgate Farm. Nestled in the picturesque village of Wedhampton in the heart of Wiltshire, Lydgate Farm is an exceptional Georgian, detached house, with 18th Century origins, with professionally designed gardens extending to 2/3 acre. Seller Insight:What is your favourite room of the house and why? The kitchen / diner area, which we call "the Barn" is a fabulous, captivating room full of character. We have had so many wonderful parties in this room easily hosting 30-40 people, as well as many nights, just the two of us, sat by the fire enjoying the peaceful space. Although this room is our favourite, the little living room is also special, the sun streams in and its beautiful - it's also our Christmas room where we gather (again by the fire) to open our presents on Christmas morning. The snug is definitely a favourite for the girls (and their friends). It's hard to choose really as each room has something special for each of us - it's been that kind of house!Who do you think would be the next ideal owner? People who will love this house, feel its energy and allow themselves to just enjoy all it has to offer. We believe we have only been its caretakers for this last while, making our mark and leaving something of ourselves as a contribution to its history, as others before us have done and as whoever comes next is bound to do. They will likely love the stars and the night stillness - standing in the garden on a clear night is pretty special. The village is lovely, privacy is respected in tandem with a strong sense of community, so someone who would like to have such an opportunity will love living in this house.What do you love most about the house and why? The energy of the property and gardens, which we think comes from its mid-way location between Stonehenge and Avebury. The space in the house is very flexible - you really can organise it how you want to, and it's certainly morphed along with our needs at various stages. It is very peaceful and is both spacious and cosy - not an easy combination. What do you love about the local community? We have loved making so many good friends in the village, the annual Safari Supper is a highlight. As we've already mentioned, you can remain quite private whilst still getting as involved as little or as much as you'd like - whatever the choice is, you'd be welcomed. We have made some very dear friends here. We can also see the village rejuvenating with families (and couples) at various stages of their lives having moved in over the last couple of years. There are people from all over the world and the UK living in Wedhampton - it is definitely an interesting little place. The farm shop can be accessed by foot or 2 mins in the car. A great place to meet friends for a coffee and to pick up any bits and pieces when you don't feel like going to town. There are several great walks directly from the house. Having Salisbury Plain on our doorstep has been fantastic - great walking, running and cycling routes.How easy is it to commute from here? Very: 1hr15mins to Terminal 5, and 15 mins to Pewsey station where the fast train is only one hour into London Paddington, or half an hour to Reading from where you can access the Elizabeth line directly into the city and/or into East London. Very quick onto the A303 down to Cornwall or Devon and 45 minute drive into Bath, or there is a bus service which leaves from Devizes every hour into Bath - it takes one hour. What made you choose this property over others that were available at the time? It is tucked away in a prime location in the village, very private, quiet and secluded with a versatile and user friendly floor plan. It was also near good schools which was key at the time. We just 'knew' it was right and it was!Accommodation Summary:Nestled in the picturesque village of Wedhampton in the heart of Wiltshire, Lydgate Farm is an exceptional Georgian, detached house, with 18th Century origins.

It is believed that during repairs and modernisation in 1482, the hall became stone clad and the dais window installed, There were also alterations to windows and doors at this time.

The history of the house during the 19th century is scarce but it is known that in 1928, Parks Court was acquired by the War Department, remaining in their ownership for the greater part of this century. In 1985, a programme of substantial restoration and modernisation was begun.

History Local history of the surrounding area places Luckington Court on the site of a manor owned by King Harold II before 1066 who was killed that year in the Battle of Hastings. Built in local creamy Cotswold stone, Luckington Court was first extended and remodelled in the 16th Century or earlier by the Fitzherbert family, who had purchased in 1632 and continued to own until the early 1800's. There were further additions including the service wing to the north by the Johnson-Ferguson family in 1921. Lt-Col Trevor Horn and his family purchased Luckington Court in 1947; he was renowned in the area for being the first director of the world's most prestigious three day event, Badminton Horse Trials and remained at the helm until 1956. It has remained in the Horn family to this day. The property saw extensive renovations in 2003 which were conducted in a compassionate way to both improve and modernise the Estate. In 1995, Luckington Court had both the exteriors and interiors used to showcase Longbourn, the Bennet family home, in the BBC's TV series Pride and Prejudice, which starred Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. LUCKINGTON COURT Luckington Court is a Grade II* Listed, Cotswold stone, detached dwelling house which was first extended and refashioned in a 16th Century style with original Tudor features at the rear including the stone mullioned windows.
