Church Street, Westbury, BA13

Behind its handsome period façade, the property reveals a wealth of original features including sash windows, intricate cornicing, working shutters, oak floors, open fireplaces and vaulted oak framed rooms on the upper floors.

The accommodation has been sympathetically enhanced and updated to repurpose the former coach house and hay loft to a potential self contained wing with its own entrance, yet still connecting to the main house. The whole property creates a home of exceptional warmth, sophistication and versatility. A flagstoned entrance has an oak staircase to the upper floors. Elegant reception rooms designed for both formal entertaining and everyday family life lead from the hall and in turn to one of two kitchens, comprehensively fitted with a range of units and ample space for a dining table. Beyond this is a cloaks/shower room and study/bedroom. The converted coach house wing now comprises a dining area with a stunning part glazed vaulted roof and is open plan to a second, modern fitted kitchen with utility lobby and shower room. Stairs lead from the kitchen to an attic bedroom with balcony. The two split level upper floors provide extensive bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom also connects to a fabulous vaulted and beamed reception room with a spiral staircase to a mezzanine area and a further bathroom. The reception space has multiple uses with a flight of stairs from the primary kitchen. The two further bedrooms on this floor are served by a spacious family bathroom. The second floor comprises two further vaulted bedrooms featuring exposed beams flooded with light from an array of conservation skylights. There is also a useful storage room within the eaves on this floor.

Outside

One of the property's most remarkable features is its beautiful walled garden, which provides an unexpected oasis of tranquillity within the town centre. Exceptionally private, the garden incorporates lawns, mature tree screens, well established borders and a variety of terracing with ample room for seating and entertaining.

The grounds offer year-round interest and provide an ideal environment for families, gardening enthusiasts and those who enjoy outdoor activities. The gated entrance leads to a large gravelled parking area to the front of a double width garage block with EV point.

In addition there is a large area behind the double garage that has previously been successfully used as a vegetable and fruit garden. External stairs ascend to a usable loft room/home office with an ensuite shower room.
