Grade II* listed Tudor townhouse c.1600 — restrictions on alterations
An exceptional Grade II* Tudor townhouse dating from the late 16th century, located on Market Street in the heart of historic Wotton-under-Edge. The house extends over four floors and just under 3,100 sq ft, combining generously proportioned reception spaces with abundant original features — exposed beams, elm floorboards, stonework, multi-pane sash windows and turned staircases. Its central location places daily amenities and good local schools within easy walking distance.
The accommodation is versatile: a large open-plan kitchen/dining room to the front, a double-aspect sitting room to the rear, four double bedrooms across the upper floors, three bathrooms and two substantial cellars fitted with full damp-proof membranes. The rear enclosed garden is small but well-arranged with a paved terrace, vine-covered pergola and mature wisteria, offering a quiet private space off the street.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate some modernisation works. Some rooms are irregular in shape and modest in size, typical of historic townhouses, and one en-suite has plumbing ready for a shower to be fitted. The house has been carefully maintained but will suit purchasers who value heritage character and central convenience over modern, open-plan proportions.
Practical details: freehold, connected to mains utilities, council tax band E, EPC exempt (Grade II* listed). Cellars, original doors and low ceilings mean internal movement is varied — an appealing, character-rich home for families or buyers seeking substantial period accommodation in a very affluent market town.
