The roof of the property was well alight when crews started to arrive.
It's within a stable block that's currently used as offices and storage.

DWFRS say two crews from Salisbury, along with engines from Pewsey, Marlborough, Chippenham, Stratton, Devizes and Warminster, and a water carrier from Royal Wootton Bassett and an aerial ladder platform from Swindon have been on site.
