This Grade II listed period cottage sits in the heart of Malmesbury, offering rare central location and sweeping views over the Abbey and surrounding valley. Arranged over four floors, the house provides two double bedrooms plus an attic room, a lower-ground sitting room and fitted kitchen, and a secluded south-facing garden with private garage access via Burnivale. The property is being sold chain free for a straightforward move.
The cottage retains many original features and a unique historic context, including Saint Aldhelm's Holy Well, giving it strong character and appeal for buyers who value period detail. The plot is compact and the layout is vertical, so it suits buyers comfortable with split-level living and narrower historic room footprints.
Buyers should note the Grade II listing—an asset for charm and protection, but a constraint for alteration or extension that may complicate refurbishment plans. Parking in the street is limited; however, a single garage is available at the garden end with pedestrian access. Overall costs such as maintenance of older stonework and listed-property requirements should be factored into any purchase decision.
