Summary - Malmesbury SN16 9AL
Grade II listed former cobblers shop, mid‑1800s character
A characterful Grade II listed former cobblers' shop in the centre of Malmesbury, this stone-built cottage offers deceptively spacious accommodation across three levels. Period features include exposed stone walls, beams and an open fireplace in the sitting room, while well-proportioned rooms give a flexible layout for modern living. The property is chain free and extends to 1,193 sq ft, with a useful cellar for storage and a courtyard-style paved rear area.
This home will suit someone looking to downsize into town-centre character close to shops, the river walk and local amenities. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; windows are secondary glazed. The generous landing could easily be used as a study or home office, and the second-floor bedroom enjoys views to the rear.
Buyers should note material considerations: the listed status means repairs and alterations will be restricted and potentially costly. External stone walls are likely uninsulated and the property dates from before 1900, so upgrading for thermal efficiency will be constrained by listing protections. There is a medium flood risk for the area. The rear space is a paved courtyard rather than a lawned garden.
Overall, this is a charming, centrally located cottage offering substantial internal space and historic character for someone prepared to manage listed-building requirements and modest maintenance and energy-efficiency improvements.
