The name of the house is thought to derive from the monastery of Ederose, also known as The Ivy Church. This was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and the name may have been a corruption of 'Ave'.
It is believed that it was in around 1725 when the property was initially re-modelled into the house as it is today. It was then the subject of extensive restoration in the 1980's, when it was sympathetically divided in to separate dwellings.
The accommodation is sensibly arranged over three floors (plus the cellar) and is presented in a good order throughout. The property benefits from many retained period features which include high ceilings, ornate plaster work, tall sash windows and working shutters.
On the ground floor, leading from the entrance hall are the beautiful drawing room with open fire, the dining room with painted mahogany panelling and a French farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room with a Lacanche cooker and a door leading to the terrace. There is also a utility room with WC at this level.
On the first floor are the light and airy master bedroom and guest bedroom, both of which have painted mahogany panelling and views over the gardens. From here is a bathroom, cloakroom and a double bedroom which could be used as an additional reception room. Stairs lead up from this room to a further small double bedroom or study and a bathroom. On the second floor are two further double bedrooms and a bathroom.
Approached through impressive double wooden gates with stone pillars, a gravel driveway to the right hand side flanked by lime trees provides access to the property and the parking area adjacent to it.
To the rear of the house the gardens feature a pretty loggia, and a flagstone terrace leading to the formal lawn.
Beyond this is a magical woodland area, which is full of beautiful bluebells and wild garlic in the Spring. This offers a cool space to unwind in hammocks, have parties around the fire pit to or fun area for children to den build and explore.
A unique feature of the West Wing is that it sits, along with the three other sections of this listed manor house, within a stone wall-enclosed curtilage extending to approximately 7 acres creating a stunning parkland setting in the centre of Chippenham!
In all approximately 0.41 on an acre. EPC: E.
