The Property - Westport Manor is a landmark building in Malmesbury which was skilfully converted in 2011 into nine luxury one, two and three bedroom apartments. The building lies in a Conservation Area towards the edge of the town and has enjoyed an interesting past. Many Malmesbury folk will have attended Westport Manor either during its time as a boy's primary school in the early to mid 1900's, or more recently while it was the art department for the nearby secondary school. The students' paint and clay spatters are now all gone and the magnificent windows have been restored to their former glory. The stone work has been fastidiously cleaned and repointed, so it should be good for another 200 years. The nine apartments are unique in Malmesbury. A brilliant combination of the best of both worlds - period aesthetics and the latest modern building standards. This has produced contemporary interiors with unique features that are specifically designed for the more discerning and sophisticated market.

The Accommodation - Number seven is on the ground floor and one of only three apartments, sharing a separate entrance, at the far end of the building. A glazed door with intercom gives access to the hallway with stairs to the first and second floors. On the left is a private front door which leads into a fabulous open plan kitchen/dining/living space which is light and airy with large mullion windows to the front. The well equipped kitchen has a good range of gloss cupboards with granite worktops. There is a built-in electric oven and microwave, ceramic hob with extractor hood over. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, fridge and freezer. There are two double bedrooms leading off and luxury en suite shower/bath rooms. There is also a useful storage cupboard and separate utility cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine.

Outside - The communal gardens comprise areas of lawn to the front and rear of the property. A block paved driveway leads to private residents' and visitor parking and a disabled bay. There is also a communal bicycle store and storage building for secure wheelie bin storage. The allocated space for No. 7 is the third to the right of the bicycle store.
