Situated on one of the town’s most prestigious and historic streets is this magnificent Grade II listed five bedroom townhouse that perfectly blends period character with modern functionality, offering generous accommodation over three floors plus a cellar and garden.
This substantial residence is defined by its remarkable architectural details, including original fireplaces in every bedroom and a striking cast iron and marble fireplace in the principal sitting room. Spanning multiple floors and featuring a large, versatile cellar, the home offers an abundance of space, a charming walled courtyard garden, and the rare convenience of being just moments from the vibrant town centre, with the potential perhaps to put one's own stamp on the interior.
The ground floor reception areas exude elegance, with the sitting room serving as a refined focal point thanks to its ornate marble fireplace. The kitchen is thoughtfully fitted with a range of floor and wall units and a full suite of appliances, including an integrated fridge, dishwasher, double oven, and a gas hob with hood above. Adding significant value to the property is the large and useful cellar, which provides exceptional storage or potential for various uses.
The upper levels of the property feature five well-proportioned bedrooms, each retaining its unique original fireplace. The attic space is particularly impressive, housing two of these large bedrooms, both with their own cast iron fireplaces, alongside the gas central heating boiler and cylinder. This elevated part of the house offers a sense of privacy and charm, making it ideal for a master suite, guest floor, or a quiet home office with a view over the historic rooftops of Devizes. Also on the first floor is a shower room with shower, basin and WC and a family bathroom with bath, basin and WC.
Externally, the property enjoys a well-maintained walled courtyard garden, designed for low-maintenance enjoyment. Paved for easy care and featuring established borders, shrubs, and a peaceful ornamental pond, this outdoor sanctuary also provides rear pedestrian access. The garden is complemented by a range of useful outbuildings, including a dedicated store equipped with a WC and wash basin, plus further adjoining space that offers excellent potential for a workshop.
Located in the centre of Devizes, the property is perfectly placed to enjoy the town's famous Thursday outdoor market and the historic Shambles Market Hall. The scenic Kennet & Avon Canal, with its iconic Caen Hill Locks, is just a short stroll away, offering miles of picturesque walking and cycling routes. For families, the area is served by excellent schools; Southbroom Infants' School and Devizes School (Secondary) are both nearby and hold 'Good' Ofsted ratings, as does St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School. With its blend of historic charm and central convenience, this is a truly standout town residence.
