The Hops development
"Barley House' is part of The Hops development and has been finished to a luxurious standard. The building is on Westbury's historic Market Place and has an interesting history. Said to be on the site of an inn possibly from the 14th century, The Saint George and Dragon, the building was previously called the Lord Abingdon Arms. It was substantially rebuilt in 1810 and was renamed the Lopes Arms after Sir Manasseh Massey Lopes who bought the manor and borough, as commemorated by the blue plaque on the building, and was an important and central meeting place in the town. It later became the popular Westbury Hotel, an important central building and meeting place in the town, until in the 2000s when it reverted to The Lopes Arms again. It has now been converted into three separate properties, each retaining the charm and character of the Grade II listed building.
Property location
The properties are situated in a fantastic central location in the historic market place in the town of Westbury, Wiltshire, and are accessed off of a quiet residential street. They are just a short walk from the shops, cafes and schools in the town. Just round the corner from The Hops is the beautiful All Staints Church, rebuilt in 1437. Also just a short walk away is the Grade II listed Westbury Baths and Swimming Pool, one of the country's oldest pools still in existence, built in celebration of Queen Victoria. Westbury town features many similar historic buildings and further benefits from the famous local landmark, Westbury White Horse, said to commemorate King Alfred's victory of the battle of Ethandun.
As well as being of historical interest, Westbury is a fantastic town to live, with local amenities as well as access to the nearby cities of Bath, Bristol and Salisbury. Westbury benefits from a direct train line to these cities, as well as a direct line to London, reaching the city in less than 1 hour 40 minutes. Also within a short drive are the towns of Frome, Warminster and Trowbridge.
Outside of Westbury is stunning countryside, including the famous Salisbury Plain and the nearby Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
