Bristol Street, Malmesbury, SN16

This beautifully presented, stone-built cottage is nestled in the historic town of Malmesbury, within easy walking distance of the town centre. Combining quintessential rustic character with modern fixtures, this home boasts Cotswold stone walls, traditional features, and a generous, mature rear garden with a pergola terrace.

On the ground floor, you are welcomed into a beautiful sitting room featuring an exposed stone fireplace with a traditional open grate, solid stone hearth, and mantel. This sits against fully exposed, whitewashed stone walls and is accented by a built-in recessed bookshelf. Character abounds with a heavy overhead timber beam and a deep window sill with custom internal shutters.

An open archway flows into the dining area—a versatile space bridging the living room and kitchen. The kitchen is of particular note: a bright, dual-aspect modern space comprehensively fitted with a sleek range of units and granite work surfaces. The configuration includes a matching peninsula breakfast bar, an integrated eye-level double oven, and a gas hob with classic grey metro-tiled splashbacks. The rear door opens directly onto the sun terrace. Completing the ground floor is a contemporary, well-appointed bathroom featuring a bath with a rainhead shower and a good level of storage.

On the first floor is the main bedroom, presenting a calm and minimalist aesthetic complete with painted floorboards, a handy wardrobe, and a beautiful sash window framing scenic, elevated views.

The study/attic room is on the top floor, utilised as an ideal home office or occasional bedroom showcasing exposed, painted timber A-frames, original wide-board timber flooring, and a bright dormer window.

Externally, a particular highlight of the property is the surprisingly large, beautifully established rear garden. Leading directly from the kitchen is a private, flagstone-paved sun terrace set beneath a gorgeous timber pergola wrapped in mature climbing vines—a perfect spot for alfresco dining. Stone-retained borders step up to a gently sloping lawn, which is bordered by a wealth of mature trees, shrubs, and vibrant perennials leading down to a further seating area.
