The Experience
The building has 17th-century roots with Georgian, then Victorian add-ons, so you’ll find large fireplaces, oak or elm floorboards, a beautiful curved staircase and huge bay windows for gazing at mature trees, smooth lawns and a small lake. Settle in the drawing room with its comfortable sofas, cheering wood-burner and a chest full of puzzles and games, or take a book to the sunny morning room and be intrigued by the honesty bar.
Bedrooms are on the first floor and have high ceilings, thick natural fibre mattresses and the softest feather and down; huge bathrooms are scented courtesy of Bramley and have separate loos. Two have window seats with plump cushions and all have gorgeous fabrics. Wake to proper porridge, a full English, veggie options, smoked salmon bagel or hearty bubble and squeak.
Footpaths lead around the seven-acre garden for wildlife spotting (hares are often sighted) and you can easily drive to pubs, shops and culture.

Location
The neighbourhood
Garden lovers can walk to the romantic gardens at Iford Manor and Westwood Manor, or hop in the car to Great Chalfield Manor, The Courts Garden (NT) and Stourhead – all inspiring. Good pubs in Bradford-on-Avon include The Bunch of Grapes. Head to Freshford for a wander about the perfect English village and have lunch at the pub, or catch a train from the quaint station.
Local points of interest from Claire & Aurelius Braunbarth
- The Peto Garden at Iford Manor, a stunning Edwardian garden designed by Harold Peto - A terraced garden featuring a blend of architectural elements such as the Grade II* listed cloister with romantic, ebullient planting plus a fantastic restaurant.
- Spend a day in our local town of Bradford-on-Avon with its stunning architecture, great shopping and restaurants and 14th-century Tithe Barn. It's also the home of the Wiltshire Music Centre, host to international artists from varied musical genres.
- Independent pubs and restaurants such as the Longs Arms and The Bunch of Grapes both featured in the Michelin guide, and the Higher Pavement in Frome, a fantastic tapas restaurant. Plus cafés such as Wild Herb at The Field Kitchen.
- Kennet and Avon Canal walk from Bradford-on-Avon to Bath, taking in beautiful villages such as Avoncliff and Freshford as well as feats of architectural engineering with the Avoncliff and Dundas aqueducts.
- If Opera - Our fantastic local Opera Company with a reputation for artistic excellence hold their annual 10-day event in Wingfield village, a 5-minute walk from The Green.
- We are the perfect base for day trips to visit the sites of Wiltshire, the south Cotswolds and Somerset, places such as Bath, Stonehenge, Longleat, Stourhead, Laycock, Castle Coombe, Bath, Bruton, Wells and Glastonbury.

Introducing
Claire & Aurelius Braunbarth
Claire has a background in set decoration and jewellery making, Aurelius owned a cocktail bar in Clifton for 12 years, so he understands great customer service. They've restored the house with much integrity, updating the heating and bathrooms, but never losing sight of the character of the building and its heritage. They are natural, easy hosts and enjoy making your stay as brilliant as possible.
