Period charm, large plot, close to town and nature reserve.
Grade II listed former gate house with strong Georgian character
This Grade II listed former gate house combines Georgian character with practical living spaces. Set on a large corner plot with wrap-around gardens and gated parking, the house offers three double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a cottage-style kitchen — a comfortable, compact home for those wanting period charm close to Devizes town centre and local nature reserves.
The interior retains many original features: tall ceilings, panelled walls, arched bay window and two stone fireplaces. The property is warmed by gas central heating and includes useful outbuilding storage. Its position provides easy access to Drew’s Pond nature reserve, countryside walks and local amenities, while train links to Bath and London are within reasonable driving distance.
Buyers should note the listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate upgrades; planning and specialist materials will be needed for many changes. There is only one bathroom, and council tax is band E (above average). The EPC is exempt due to listing. These factors suit buyers seeking a sympathetic restoration or those happy with the current layout and character-led maintenance.
This home will appeal to downsizers and buyers prioritising character, outdoor space and proximity to town services rather than turnkey modernisation. The plot, parking and location deliver lifestyle benefits; prospective purchasers should factor in listed-property care and ongoing maintenance costs.
