A Delightful Country House With A Fishing Lake And Beautiful Gardens

Ark Farm is a splendid Grade II listed period house with a great range of outbuildings,
occupying a uniquely charming and idyllic rural setting in the historic grounds of Old Wardour Castle. The property sits across a lake from the castle ruins and features a seven-bedroom main house, as well as a substantial 3 bedroom barn annexe and separate work studio and garaging below.

The main house features handsome red brick and stone elevations, with double doors at the entrance opening to the welcoming reception hall with its wooden flooring and fireplace fitted with a logburner. Further double doors lead to the 30ft sitting room, which has an open fireplace and a triple aspect, including French doors opening to the patio area. Also on the ground floor, the snug provides further space in which to relax, while the study is a peaceful, private setting for home working. At the heart of the lower level, the kitchen and breakfast room has flagstone flooring, farmhouse-style units, wooden worktops, an Aga and an integrated oven and hob, as well as space for a family dining table. Both the pantry and utility room provide further space for home storage and appliances.

Upstairs there are seven well-presented bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with its dressing area and en suite bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and a separate shower. The first floor also has a family bathroom with a bathtub and a separate shower.

Barn flat
The flat is located in the large detached barn, which has a studio space to its lower level and the flat accommodation on the first floor, accessed via two external staircases. There is a generous, airy sitting and dining area with a vaulted ceiling, a well-equipped kitchen and three bedrooms, two of which are en suite, making the space ideal for guests or family members.
