2 bedroom cottage for sale

A delightful Grade II Listed semi-detached cottage of 490 sq ft, tucked away in the centre of Malmesbury and affectionately known locally as “The Shoe Box.” Despite its modest proportions, the property enjoys a lovely west-facing view to the rear over the valley and is offered with no onward chain.

Accommodation

The cottage retains much of its historic character, with painted exposed stonework, ceiling beams, and a cosy log burning stove in the sitting room. The ground floor is open-plan, combining the sitting and dining areas with a kitchen equipped with an electric oven and hob, integrated fridge, and space for a washing machine.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, both enjoying the charming west-facing outlook. The larger bedroom has a cupboard housing the gas boiler and access to a substantial loft space, which may offer potential for conversion, subject to consent. The bathroom includes a bath with electric shower over. Central heating is provided via a gas boiler.

Outside

Accessed via a shared gate, steps lead down to the front door. There is no additional outdoor space, but the rear views provide a sense of openness and tranquility.
