Fine & Country are delighted to have agreed a sale on this beautifully presented Georgian 4 bedroom town house, quietly nestled within the Heritage Quarter of Old Calne and overlooking The Green; it really is a jewel of a home.



Overview:

Quietly nestled within the Heritage Quarter of Old Calne and overlooking The Green, this beautifully presented Georgian property really is a jewel of a home.

The modest frontage is deceptive, as internally the property boasts spacious reception spaces and three/four good-sized bedrooms, all while keeping the character and feel of a quaint period townhouse.

Accommodation Summary:

Ground Floor:

The entrance hall leads through to the first of the impressive reception rooms with wonderfully high ceilings, exposed beams and a feature electric log burner. Stairs lead up to another versatile reception room or bedroom, at the rear of the property, currently used as a peaceful sitting room, with a range of built-in storage cupboards. Completing the split-level ground floor is the beautifully renovated four-piece bathroom suite with a waterfall shower and an free-standing bath.

Lower Ground Floor:

The lower ground floor is dedicated to the spacious dining room, again beautifully presented in a calm palate of neutral colours. The fitted kitchen with range cooker and skylight windows to maximise light leads to the utility room, which has an exterior door for access to the courtyard garden. There is also access to the cellar.

First Floor:

On the first floor are two charming bedrooms with views over The Green and a shared cloakroom. There is also access to the useful attic space, ideal for storage or further extension (with existing planning permission in place for conversion).

Second Floor:

The spacious bedroom on the second floor is a real sanctuary, with vaulted ceilings and lovely views out over the surrounding period properties.

Outside:

Externally the property offers two private courtyards to the front and rear of the property. The front courtyard is east facing, with two seating areas separated by landscaped borders, ideal for enjoying the morning sun whilst enjoying the views over The Green. The rear courtyard has access to Church Street and storage areas. On-street parking is available around The Green.


Location:

The Green, whilst being well placed for the town's amenities, offers a unique setting where fine period homes overlook a large green space with mature specimen trees. The location has always been held in high regard; known as "The Green" or "Kingsbury Green" it has evolved through time from its links with Salisbury Cathedral, the wool merchants and Robert Adam, who lived there whilst working on Bowood House. Today it is a magnificent location that provides an eclectic mix of 16th century alms-houses, charming period homes and fine residences.

Modern Calne is a bustling town with a population of around 20,000 people. It has a range of amenities, including shops, restaurants, and pubs, and is home to several primary and secondary schools, and the renowned independent schools – St. Margarets Prep School and St Mary's, Calne.

The local market towns of Chippenham (approx. 6 miles) and Marlborough (approx. 13 miles) host a fantastic range of shops, cafes, restaurants, and public houses which sit side by side with larger national chains, such as Waitrose. The renowned Bowood Golf Course is also less than 4 miles away.

Further afield, the World Heritage city of Bath provides extensive shopping, excellent schooling, a thriving arts scene, the Theatre Royal and premiership rugby.

Calne is well-connected to the surrounding area, with good road links to nearby towns and cities such as Chippenham, Swindon, and Bristol.    The nearest train station is Chippenham, which provides 52 trains to London per day and a travel time of 1 hour 14 minutes. Junctions 15 and 16 of the M4 are both within a 20 minute drive.
