Burton Hill House is an exceptional Grade II listed Gothic Revival country residence, recently restored to combine period grandeur with contemporary living. The house offers extensive formal entertaining rooms — a drawing room, billiards room, panelled dining room and library — plus high ceilings and ornate original detailing that create dramatic, light-filled spaces. A bespoke kitchen/breakfast room and a former chapel converted into an indoor pool and gym provide modern convenience within a historic setting.
Accommodation is substantial and flexible: 14–19 bedrooms across multiple wings, 8–11 bathrooms, a self-contained two-bedroom flat and two courtyard flats ideal for staff, guests or rental income. The property sits in exceptionally large grounds (about 12.5 acres reported) with formal gardens, a Victorian water feature, woodland and paddock, delivering privacy and rural outlooks while being only a short walk from Malmesbury town centre.
Practical considerations are clear: the house is Grade II listed — any alterations will be constrained and require specialist consent — and council tax is described as very expensive. The estate has been newly renovated and benefits from mains services, but the size and age of the property mean ongoing maintenance and running costs will be significant. Outbuildings, garages and stores add useful utility but will require routine upkeep.
This is a property that will suit a family seeking a landmark country home with substantial space for formal entertaining, multi-generational living or part-occupancy income. It will also appeal to buyers who value heritage architecture and are prepared for the responsibilities of a listed estate and its maintenance demands.
