A huge farmhouse with two separate cottages has been put up for sale in Wiltshire.
Roundway Farm House located in Roundway Park, two miles north of Devizes, has been listed on the market with Strutt & Parker for £2,700,000.
The rural home dates from the 16th century with 18th century alterations whilst also having been refurbished during 2009.
It nestles amid the Wiltshire Chalk Downs and close to the site of the Battle of Roundway, which took place in July of 1643 during the first English Civil War.
The Parliamentarians, commanded by General Sir William Waller, were besieging Devizes and, reputedly, General Sir William Waller breakfasted at Roundway Farm House before the battle.
Views of the Downs and towards The White Horse, which was carved into the chalk hillside to celebrate the millennium, are on offer at the house too.
Entering the property, a welcoming reception hall leads to the stair hall with its stone staircase and a carved stone chimneypiece with wood burner.
There are three reception rooms arranged along the front of the house which are ideal for entertaining.
The drawing room has a large fireplace with a wood-burning stove and access to the sitting room with its dressed stone open fire.
A fine stone fireplace with a wood burner is featured in the dining room while the study leads out to the garden.
The kitchen is partly oak beamed with a stone floor and a vaulted ceiling as well as a central island with a breakfast bar and a shelved larder.
Moving up to the first floor there is a large bedroom with vaulted timber ceiling and scope to create a bath or shower room.
There are four further bedrooms, three of which have fitted wardrobes while the family bathroom and shower room is nearby.
The second floor has a landing flanked by another bedroom to one side and an attic room providing storage space.
Heading out and Granary Cottage provides a hall, dining hall, cloakroom, sitting room, kitchen with AGA, and to the first floor, two bedrooms which each have an en suite bathroom.
Studio Cottage provides a hall, sitting room, a study, kitchen dining room hybrid and two bedrooms, both of which have an en suite bathroom or shower room.
The house is bordered by lawn to three sides and a central lily pond and to the west is an open-fronted summer house and a hard tennis court.
