Key information
Features and description
The house would originally have been open to its rafters following the architectural custom of the time, with beautiful oak beams and intricately carved oak cornices, some still visible today. An upper floor was added within the mediaeval hall, now the dining room, along with a large fireplace with stone chimney, in about 1550. A large cast iron stove has been added in recent times.
Today, this lovely building is a welcoming home, with entrance hall, sitting room with fireplace housing a log burner, kitchen with bespoke Shaker-style units set around a central dresser with space under a large roof light for a table and chairs. The dining hall is spacious enough to seat eight people comfortably and leads out through ceiling-height French windows to a private sunny courtyard garden. In one corner of the dining hall, an iron spiral staircase leads to a beamed double bedroom with a large storage area and an ensuite shower room.
There is a further shower room and utility area off the entrance hall. The main staircase leads from the entrance hall to the other two bedrooms, one single with built-in wardrobe area and the principal bedroom with its beam structure and a magnificent view of the clock tower of the adjacent parish church. A stone archway leads through to the ensuite bathroom.
Outside, via the back kitchen door is a small courtyard garden area with access to an outside study/office. There is a gate giving access to St John’s Court.

Location:
The historic market town of Devizes has over 500 listed buildings around the central Market Place, which hosts a fabulous produce market every Thursday. Alongside this is the indoor Shambles market which houses a range of small shops and a regular antiques market. There are many cafes, restaurants and pubs within the centre making it a wonderful town to visit and spend time in. Perusing the many and varied independent shops, walking the canal and visiting the famous Caen Hill Locks, visiting the Wiltshire Museum and many other attractions make this a lovely place to live. The sense of community in Devizes is strong and there are many events throughout the year which bring the population together - the Arts Festival, Beer Festival, Music Festival, Food Festival, Comedy Festival, and various outdoor street events from carnival to a spectacular lantern parades.
As well as an independent butcher and several bakeries, there are several good supermarkets including Sainsburys, M&S Food and Morrisons as well as a Council run leisure centre and several private gyms.
There are a number of good local schools in the primary sector as well as Devizes School for secondary age students. In the private sector, St Margaret's Calne is a 25 minute drive for primary and St Mary's Calne for secondary as well as Marlborough College. Warminster School is also within commutable distance, as is Dauntseys - both run a bus service from Devizes.
