Smoke was seen billowing across Westbrook at the height of the blaze
Firefighters have been tackling a large fire at a stately home in Wiltshire.
Crews were called to Westbrook, near the village of Bromham, at about 19:00 GMT on Thursday after smoke was seen billowing from the Grade II-listed building.
The blaze was brought under control by Friday lunchtime after 75 firefighters were on site at the peak of the blaze.
The ten-bedroom property, known as Nonsuch House, sold last year for an estimated £3.5 million.
An investigation is underway into the cause of the blaze. A nearby road that was closed has now re-opened.

75 firefighters tackled the fire at the Grade II-listed building
The Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said the conditions were difficult.
Group Manager, Wayne Jones, said: "The fire was quite ferocious at its height and obviously takes a lot of resources in a building this size to bring it back under control.
"The scaffolding team are on site as well. Due to the high winds they are just doing a final check to make sure everything is structurally sound."
