Millener Cottage, Malmesbury

A charming period cottage full of character, offering deceptively spacious accommodation just a short walk from the town centre and nearby countryside walks.

Featuring a fabulous south-facing garden and a rare opportunity to acquire a cottage with off-road parking for three cars, this hidden gem provides a peaceful haven while enjoying an enviably close position to the town centre.

The Property - Set in a tucked-away position, this delightful cottage combines period character with modern comforts and has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners. Recent upgrades include a refitted kitchen, bathroom and en-suite, a newly replaced boiler, and the addition of a fully insulated workshop — an incredibly versatile space that could be used as a home office, studio, hobby room or similar.

The ground floor provides excellent living accommodation, with a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility room and WC. There is a dedicated dining room ideal for family meals and entertaining, while the spacious sitting room offers a cosy retreat with feature log burner and exposed stone wall.

Upstairs, the accommodation is currently arranged as three bedrooms, although the layout provides flexibility. One bedroom leads through to the second bedroom, which benefits from an en-suite shower room. This arrangement works particularly well for the current owners’ family, with children enjoying their own space at this end of the cottage, but the additional room could also be used as an occasional bedroom, study, nursery or dressing room.

Full of character features and offering far more space than first appearances suggest, this charming cottage presents a rare opportunity to enjoy period living with modern convenience, excellent parking, a lovely garden and easy access to both town amenities and countryside walks.

The fabulous south-facing garden is a standout feature of the property, with a generous lawn framed by established shrub borders that provide a wonderful display of colour. Adjoining the house, a secluded terrace offers an idyllic and completely private setting for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing in the sunshine.
