Located at the centre of the quiet Wiltshire village of Semington, through which the Kennet and Avon Canal passes, this grand period home sits securely behind gates within lush green gardens. Believed to have been built by the original owners of Highfield House, directly opposite Semington House, as a wedding present for their daughter upon her marriage, it features the engraved initials WB 1794 (William Bruges) and a heart. ‘This has now become a bit of a tradition with two former owners before us inscribing their initials, and now us,’ explain the current owners. They add, ‘we were attracted by the Georgian grandeur, the spectacular orangery, beautiful gardens, overall sense of space, and how the house is flooded with light. Pretty views, which can be appreciated from every window, add to the magical feel of living here.’ Enjoyed as a family home, the house is generously laid out over three floors, with the addition of a small wine cellar, five good-sized bedrooms (two en suite), and well-arranged day-to-day living space. ‘With four sons and both of us working from home, we needed lots of space for everyone to splinter off and do their own thing. This house offers exactly that.’ Updated both inside and out, from refurbishing dining room parquet flooring and creating a double garage with space for an office and a gym to fitting new wrought iron automatic entrance gates and installing a new Victorian-style Robinson’s greenhouse every inch of this property has been given the attention it deserves.

Semington House is the quintessential Georgian English country home, generous in light and space - perfect for entertaining.’

‘Being south facing, the house is always light, bright and sunny.’

‘The addition of Alexa enabled smart light switches to the kitchen, orangery, dining room and outside lights has given great convenience.’

‘Outside, the fishpond has been refreshed, raised beds replaced, and new trees and shrubs added for privacy and beauty, including a lavender border.’

‘Semington is kept peaceful by being a no-through road while being in close proximity to great schools, good shopping areas, and the wonderful city of Bath, making the location convenient.’

‘The village is friendly with its own Facebook page, village hall, tennis court, church, numerous clubs and beautiful walks on the doorstep.’
