“We often passed this house on our walks. We always said how we would love to live in such a house. Its special

magic was obvious and it was perfectly placed

in outstanding countryside, with glorious views

across the Bibrook valley to Colerne, down to

Bath and beyond to the Mendips. When it came

onto the market in 2006, we used every possible

resource available to us to buy the house. It was

in a very sad, neglected, state of repair but we

were assured by surveyors and architects that it

was in ‘sound’ condition. Built in the early 1600’s,

our aim was to give the house back its character

and natural charm and for it, once more, to

become a family home, and one full of the luxury

and comforts of modern day living.”

“Box village is vibrant and friendly with lots of shops and activities. The primary school has an Ofsted rating of

‘Excellent’ and there are good state and independent schools all

within easy reach. Bath is just seven miles away and Chippenham

is the preferred station for journeys into London Paddington with

trains every half and hour. We do feel we have been privileged

custodians of this special house and, whether it be drinks in the

garden with friends, eating strawberries and enjoying the magical

sunsets, or sitting around the roaring fire in our sitting room, these

are some of the special memories of our life here which we will

treasure forever.”

insight





“Our main reception room is extremely bright and sunny, with beautiful beams and features an exceptionally beautiful fireplace; such an

amazing room on dark winter evenings when the fire is roaring away. There is also an old bread oven. We use the dining room when our family and

friends are around but, for day to day living, we eat mainly in our kitchen area with its Aga. It is an incredibly social space where guests insist in joining

us to chat whilst we are preparing meals. Our snug is next to this room and a special space for quiet relaxation. Mills Platt is amazing house in which

to entertain and at Christmas it comes into its own.”

“We put as much energy into restoring the garden as we did to the house. It is

a garden for all seasons and there is something

to catch your attention every month of the

year. Many of our plants are perfumed and

therefore the garden abounds with butterflies

and bees. We have also created a wildflower

meadow and we do enjoy the variety of visiting

wildlife. We have many places to sit with a quiet

drink or dine. It is a garden for children (and

grandchildren) to explore and it is perfect for

hide and seek.”
