Tucked away in the heart of Colerne, Trimnells House is a striking Grade II listed former farmhouse, built in 1871 by the Poynder family, who owned Hartham Park in the 19th and early 20th centuries. <br/><br/>With seven bedrooms, four reception rooms, an annexe, outbuildings, generous parking and a beautiful garden, it’s a property with space, history and soul. Owned by the same family for 34 years, it has been a much-loved home. <br/><br/>A handsome house, its two-foot-thick walls, grand proportions and multiple chimney stacks give it a timeless solidity, while the almost gothic silhouette at the rear adds real character. Over the decades, it has served as both a care home and a B&B, welcoming countless visitors. ‘This house has always felt like a sanctuary — warm, safe and full of life. It’s been part of my story, and three generations of my family, for over three decades,’ says the owner.<br/><br/>Arranged over three floors, the house offers exceptional flexibility, including an annexe that once housed the owner’s parents — ideal for multigenerational living or guest accommodation. Many original features remain – working shutters, fireplaces, stone floors and sash windows that flood the rooms with light.<br/><br/>The rear garden is a private haven, fully enclosed with open lawn, mature trees and a wild, woodland feel at the far end. ‘Apple trees, birdsong and dragonflies make it a truly magical space.’<br/><br/>Colerne itself is a thriving village with a primary school, shop, post office, pub and active local clubs. ‘There’s a strong sense of community here, from mobile coffee and cake on Sundays to local events, gatherings and sporting activities. Having Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa and excellent schools close by is also a huge attraction.’ Bath and Bristol are under half an hour away, with mainline services to London from Chippenham taking just over an hour. The M4 is also within easy reach.<br/><br/>‘This is a home that’s meant to be shared. It’s seen laughter, celebrations and family milestones — and it’s ready for its next chapter. It’s such a special and beautiful house.’<br/><br/>‘Down at the bottom of the garden, it feels like stepping into another world. It’s peaceful, wild and alive with nature.’<br/><br/>‘Colerne is a proper community. People look out for each other and genuinely care. That’s something truly rare and special.’<br/><br/>‘It’s the perfect location to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle — dog walking, horses, chickens. The garden is fully fenced, so it’s ideal for pets too.’<br/><br/>N.B.
