Location
The market town of Malmesbury sits on the highly desirable Gloucestershire/Wiltshire borders, just 12 miles from Cirencester, "the
capital of the Cotswolds." Malmesbury is reputed to be England's oldest borough, dating from around 880 AD. It has a good selection of shops and a regular farmers' market, a library, museum, leisure centre with pool, two primary schools and a "High Performing Academy" secondary school. The 12th century Abbey and Abbey House Gardens together with the nearby Westonbirt Arboretum are significant tourist attractions. The Royal estates of Highgrove and Gatcombe Park are close by and the area is known for its country sports, excellent walking, cycling and water sports. The cosmopolitan city of Bath is 23 miles south-west. J17 of the M4 provides access to the area's major employment centres and there are trains to Paddington in just over an hour from Chippenham, Kemble and Swindon.
The Property
Westport House is a beautifully presented town house with late 16th Century origins. It was substantially extended in the mid 18th Century,
with the library added in the mid 19th Century. This has an unusual barrel vaulted ceiling, wall panelling and a timber clad exterior. There
are period features throughout the house including numerous fireplaces, exposed beams and sash windows with shutters to most of the ground floor. The heating system has just been completely overhauled including the installation of a new condensing gas boiler. The west facing garden is a delightful feature of the property and the charming garden room has
a lovely aspect over the lower terrace. There is scope to accommodate teenagers or a home office above the double garage.
Historical Note
In the garden room are the remains of a 16th Century unglazed oak window in what was the back wall of the original medieval hall house.
During the early 1900's, the library is reputed to have been a studio for the famous Sporting Artist and Punch cartoonist G D Armour (1864-1949).
The Accommodation
The front door leads to an impressive panelled reception hall. This has a fireplace with Regency grate and beyond is a rear hall with cloakroom off. To the right of the main hall is the dual aspect drawing room, with a marbled fireplace and fitted log burner. Next door is the library with its panelled walls, unusual stained glass window and French doors to front. To the left of the hall is the sitting room, which has a stone fireplace with gas log burner and built-in cupboards with shelving over. The farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room has a stone flagged floor, a four oven Aga, a range of base units with Belfast sink, wall shelving and a built-in dresser. The adjacent utility room
has space for freezers etc, with external doors front and rear. Behind the eating kitchen is a second kitchen and preparation area with a good range of cupboards, a built-in oven and hob, a double larder cupboard and two
dresser bases. The adjacent pantry has slate shelves. On the first floor there is a lovely garden room with one wall of built-in
cupboards and shelving, plus French doors onto a charming terrace. The principal suite comprises a large dual aspect bedroom with fireplace and built-in wardrobe, plus an adjacent bathroom and dressing room. There
