Description
Dating back to the early 19th Century, this Grade II Listed townhouse is located in the very heart of Malmesbury with an excellent choice of amenities available straight from the doorstep. The townhouse is deceptively spacious, offering over 2,000 sq.ft. of accommodation spanning over four storeys with the addition of a cellar below. The property has a fascinating history and much charm throughout, enhanced further by a beautiful west-facing garden at the rear which has an 'infinity' style aspect reaching towards the rural surrounds of the town.
The current owners have made significant improvements by reconfiguring the layout, installing new heating, plumbing and electrical systems and laying oak flooring throughout the ground floor, with underfloor heating in the kitchen. The ground floor opens to an entrance hall with a front reception room which features a fireplace and delightful curved bay window. The dining room is a social room superbly linking to the kitchen/breakfast room and provides a perfect space for entertaining. The kitchen is well-equipped with units and modern appliances and a breakfast bar. At the rear, there is a further sitting room with a cosy wood-burning stove and access to the garden alongside a utility room/WC. Arranged over the first, second and third floors, there are five good-sized double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate shower room/WC. One of the bedrooms is positioned at the rear accessed by its own staircase and has a charming mezzanine floor above.
Adjoining the rear of the house there is a very useful workshop which has power connected currently providing excellent storage but could potentially be converted to a home office, subject to planning. The west-facing garden extends over 100ft in length, laid mostly to lawn, and is perfectly orientated to enjoy summer afternoons and sunset evenings. There is the fantastic advantage of pedestrian rear access into the garden from Kings Wall below with easy access to St Aldhelm Mead and Daniel’s Well. On street parking is available in the High Street and Kings Wall.
