Built in the late eighteenth century, 5-7 West Street is full of character with many original features. For many years, part of the property has been used as a shop including as a delicatessen and confectioners while the outbuildings at the back were reportedly where the manufacture of straw hats took place.
Having a commercial property as part of this home makes it unique. It can either be used as a shop, design studio, or office space or, adjacent to the shop is a w/c and fully equipped kitchen, should opening a cooking school take your fancy.
The layout of this property has a huge amount of potential and could easily be configured in a number of ways. From the road the property is deceiving as it provides nearly 2000 sq feet of living space over three floors. Stepping inside this beautiful home is something of a surprise. The rooms are light and bright and the pale walls contrast well with the owners period furniture, creating a stunning mix of traditional and contemporary. Oak flooring throughout the ground floor gives a feeling of luxury and, even though this is an older building, the quality of finish is exceptional.
Set towards the back of the property, the stylish lounge opens out onto a well maintained, mature garden, which makes the room and garden appear as one. Built-in storage and a wood-burning stove add character.
Unusually this property currently has two fully equipped kitchens, which provide the opportunity for independent multi-generational living. The main kitchen and dining area, at the front of the property, has a Shaker style kitchen and plenty of room for entertaining. A Stoves electric range style cooker and Quooker boiling water tap make cooking here a pleasure.
The second kitchen, facing onto the garden, has a breakfast bar island for more informal eating and quick breakfasts. With two ovens, cooking here means you can produce food in quantity, great for entertaining as it means you can keep the main kitchen free for your guests. Both kitchens have plenty of storage and adjacent pantry utility rooms.
There are four large double bedrooms in this property with two on each of the first and second floors. The top floor rooms are tucked into the eaves and the rooms are characterful with some of the beams exposed. The versatility of this property is shown on the first floor where the current owners have turned one of the bedrooms into a wonderful and cosy sitting room with built-in storage and a window seat, ideal for reading or watching the world go by.
On the first floor there is a stunning family bathroom with double-ended bath and large walk-in shower while on the second floor a wet-room provides ample facilities for a busy family. There is a further beautifully finished w/c on the ground floor and throughout the house, the current owners have gone to considerable trouble to hide services.
Although in the centre of town the south facing garden is an oasis of calm, the peace and quiet interrupted only on the hour by the chimes of the clock in Market Square. Much of the garden is walled and the planting well established. A vine covered pergola offers a shady spot to sit and relax and from certain parts of the garden the campanile of the 19th century Italianate church make you think you are somewhere else entirely.
As if there wasn't enough space in this ample property, there are also two additional brick built outbuildings for storage or workshop, depending on your hobbies. Each has lighting and electrics.
Located just off Market Square, this large family home has all you could want within a short walk. Pop across the road to the bakery for fresh croissants with your morning coffee or to one of the cafés. Wilton has a number of hairdressers, a florist, a general store and even a pet shop. Each Thursday morning a market is held in Market Square and on a Friday there is a country market for fresh produce and local fare. There are also some great local pubs all just a stagger away and the Pembroke Arms has a wonderful outdoor pizza oven.
