Description
Description
Lowden Manor House is a very handsome and sizable Grade II listed period house situated within a discreet location set down a private drive in the very heart of Chippenham and is a true rarity to find. The property is of historical importance and believed to date to the 16th/17th Century, although records of the manor exist from 1258 when notably Henry III gave the property to William de Valeree, the Earl of Pembroke. The property is attached to the neighbouring cottage which was formerly the servants’ quarters to Lowden Manor. With a striking Georgian frontage enhanced with later additions and remodelling, the property offers substantial accommodation of around 4,000 sq.ft and is accompanied by large, mature grounds of around 1 acre.
The ground floor layout opens to a large reception hall with a magnificent ornate staircase leading to the first floor and a traditional fireplace. In addition, there is a formal dining room, Aga fitted kitchen breakfast room, and an impressive drawing room with high exposed timber ceiling and fireplace. On the first floor, there is a galleried landing, four excellent bedrooms and bathroom, whilst on the second floor there are two further bedrooms and additional bathroom. The property has a great deal of its original character and features from its various periods to include open fires, beamed ceilings, sash and leaded windows.
Entered through Listed gate piers and set down a private drive, there is private parking in front of the property and further driveway parking available behind a metal gate to the side. The splendid gardens are a rare treasure for such a centrally located property in the town. Extending to about 1 acre, the gardens feature a fascinating and historic ‘mound’ known as Primrose Hill from where there are far reaching panoramic views across the town and the surrounding countryside. In addition to the extensive lawn which is enclosed by mature trees providing a privacy screen, there is a charming walled kitchen garden with an old well and stone store believed to be the former wash house.
