A rare Grade II* timber‑framed townhouse in the heart of historic Wotton-under-Edge, this home offers almost 3,100 sq ft of richly detailed living space across four floors. Original features — exposed beams, elm floorboards, stonework, multiple-pane sash windows and turned staircases — give the house immediate period charm and a strong sense of history. The layout includes a large kitchen/dining room, a double-aspect sitting room, two cellars and flexible upper-floor bedrooms and reception spaces suited to family life or multi-room living.
Practical strengths include sizeable cellar accommodation with full damp-proof membranes, a useful utility area, a sheltered enclosed rear garden with mature wisteria and vine-covered terrace, and freehold tenure. The property has been maintained carefully over the years, and many rooms are beautifully proportioned for entertaining and everyday family use. Excellent mobile signal and central town location place shops, amenities and good local schools within easy walking distance.
Important points to note: the house is Grade II* listed, so alterations and repairs will be subject to stricter consents and potentially higher costs. The plot is modest and room shapes are irregular with some low doorways and cosy bedroom footprints typical of a Tudor townhouse. Council tax sits above average, and the EPC is exempt because of the listing. Buyers seeking modern, open-plan scale gardens or straightforward refurbishment should factor in the listed constraints and historic building maintenance.
For a buyer who values historic character and a central small‑town lifestyle, this is a substantial and versatile property offering exceptional period features and long-term potential. It will particularly suit families or purchasers wanting a distinctive home in an affluent, well-served market town, prepared to manage listed‑building responsibilities.
