la magnarerie est le bâtiment (et par extension la ferme) destiné à l'élevage des vers à soie (pas de filature ni de tissage). C'est donc bien une ferme d'élevage et non une usine ou un atelier (même si l'éleveur peut avoir ajouter le dévidage des cocons à son activité d'élevage)

agree  Tony M: Personally, to keep it short, I always use 'silk farm' --- anyone truly interested in silk will know it isn't 'grown' as such, but any mention of 'worm' in a property ad is highly inadvisable from a marketing POV!

Explanation:
Probably still far from ideal, but gets away from all the objections of farm / factory / worms etc.

cf. corderie = ropeworks

In these kinds of (old) context, 'works' does not specifically imply 'factory', as it might today.

This is only a property ad., after all --- it's not an exhaustive historical description of what the building was used for, just to give a sort of flavour, and to anyone who knows the style of building, posssibly some slight idea of what it looks like....

In answer to Dominique's concerns aboiut 'worm':

It really isn't a problem in English, you know! After all, we talk about 'wine-growing regions' — we all know perfectly well that wine "doesn't grow on trees", but everyone is grown-up enough to understand what is meant!
