The main house dates back to 1748, with more recent Georgian and Victorian additions, and now comprises;

Entrance hall with half panelled walls to the front, Victorian style black and white ceramic tile floor, and access to the rear garden.

Reception 1 and 2 is an open plan dual aspect space (15ft x 40ft) with bay sash windows to the front and rear, as well as half height wood panelling. Both rooms also have gas fires with traditional wood and marble surrounds.

The study has a front aspect, again with a large bay sash window, gas fire and exposed original floorboards.

The dining room includes the original front door dating back to 1748, stone floors, built-in shelving, wall panelling, as well as a large pantry style cupboard.

There are a range of wall and base units, with large central island. There’s also a triple width Aga, Miele oven and hob, integrated Miele dishwasher, and wide fridge / freezer space with built-in wine storage above.

Through the kitchen is the garden room which has the same black and white ceramic tile floor as the entrance hall, providing a nice cohesion between the ground floor spaces. This room has a rear aspect overlooking the garden, as well access on to the patio.

Lastly on the ground floor is the utility / cloakroom which includes WC, space for washing machine, Belfast sink, stone floors, plus bespoke built-in bench and storage.

The cellar is accessed via the entrance hallway and is a great space for storage, as a workshop, or for potential future conversion into a gym or further entertainment space. There are also two windows providing natural light.

On the first floor, the master suite includes a dressing room with a range of built-in wardrobes, and dressing table, as well as a large cupboard for additional storage space. There’s also a window seat as well as a feature fireplace. The bedroom is a very large room, with plenty of space for a seating area. There’s a window overlooking the kitchen garden, as well as French doors on to a balcony. The ensuite has white marble effect porcelain wall and floor tiles, electric heated floor, shower, WC, and two sinks with stone worktop and storage beneath, a freestanding copper bath, as well as an additional second storage cupboard.

The family bathroom comprises an over-sized jacuzzi bath, two sinks and WC, all believed to be made from Onyx stone. There’s also a modern separate shower enclosure, as well as vanity unit and three full height built-in storage cupboards.

Bedroom 2 is another very generously sized room, again with a sash window and window seat with a rear aspect, original fireplace and built-in wardrobes.

Bedrooms 3 and 4 are both situated to the front of the property and both benefit from original fireplaces and large bay windows letting in lots of natural light. Bedroom 3 has two built-in wardrobes, with bedroom 4 having one single.

On the third floor towards to the front of the property, there are two large double bedrooms. This floor has a very different feel to the rest of the property, with beams and a vaulted ceiling. There’s also a mezzanine in bedroom 5 making it an ideal room for visiting family with children. There’s also door access from here through to the loft space.

Up a separate staircase, again to the third floor, is a large landing space, and then a few more steps up to the Cinema room / bedroom 7. This is another very large room, which also benefits from having an ensuite shower room.

Externally there’s a gravelled kitchen garden to the side of the house, which enjoys sun throughout most of the day. Here there are a range of mature plants within stone-built planters, a Well, outside WC and potting shed. This space is linked to the rear garden by a pathway. The rear garden is a very big space, especially for being so centrally located within Old Town. There’s a brand new patio with lighting and box hedging border. There are paths around the whole garden, new fencing, an original red brick wall to one side, as well as a pergola with vines growing over.

From the garden there’s gated access through to the annexe garden.

The Stables (annexe)

The Stables is a fully self-contained two bedroom cottage adjoined to the main house. It has its own address, completely separate access, along with double gates for driveway parking. The whole property was completely reconfigured and refurbished in 2020.

Upon entering the property, there’s a Travertine Tiled floor, with doors through to the two double bedrooms, one at the front and one at the back of the property. The family shower room is also on the ground floor, with the same floor tiling as the hallway, with the addition of electric underfloor heating. The room includes a wc, double width shower and sink with vanity unit.

The first floor is one completely open plan space with exposed vaulted ceilings. This is a triple aspect room with the kitchen area being situated to the front of the property. The kitchen includes a range of white wall and base units, an electric freestanding cooker, plus space for fridge/freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher or tumble dryer. The rest of the space provides ample room as a generous lounge / diner.

Both properties have been lovingly restored by the current owners, and as such, now offers a fantastic home in a popular Old Town location. There are income generating opportunities from the annexe, which could achieve circa £1,500pcm rent (including utilities), or a lovely family home for multi-generational living. This property also benefits from multi-dwelling stamp duty relief, providing a considerable cash saving.

Old Town offers a community feel within a larger town. There are a range of independent shops, restaurants, bars and theatre. There are also stunning open spaces to enjoy such as Old Town Gardens which boasts a café, bowls club and year-round events for all the family, as well as The Lawns, Croft Woods and The Old Railway line footpath.

Swindon provides all the amenities you would expect from a large town, including many more green spaces including the popular Lydiard Park, as well as the Designer Outlet for the shopping enthusiasts. The town is ideally located for travel with easy access to the M4 and M5 motorways, the A419 to Cheltenham, plus train journeys to London in less than an hour.
