<p><strong>Description</strong></p><p>1 Twatley Cottages offers an idyllic rural retreat on the edge of Malmesbury, just over a mile from the High Street, boasting far-reaching panoramic views across the Wiltshire countryside. This extended period cottage, dating back to the early 20th Century and believed to have been the chauffeur's house of the neighbouring Whatley Manor, has been significantly improved. Featuring new windows, doors, and carpets, it presents a tastefully neutral and bright home with excellent ceiling heights.<br/> <br/>The internal accommodation, spanning around 1,051 sq.ft., benefits from underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. An inviting entrance hall leads to a reconfigured open-plan arrangement comprising a kitchen, dining room, and living room. Double patio doors create a seamless connection to the garden, offering a lovely outlook. The kitchen is well-appointed with a new Bosch oven and microwave, Smeg dishwasher, and a Franke tap, while the living room features a fireplace ready for a woodburner. A useful utility room with rear access and ample storage, alongside a downstairs WC, completes the ground floor. Upstairs, two comfortable double bedrooms each provide generous built-in storage and feature charming fireplaces. The bathroom has been newly upgraded into a stylish shower room.<br/> <br/>Externally, a single garage with power connected provides secure storage. At the rear of the garage, a thoughtful conversion has created a superb home office/guest suite, complete with an adjoining shower room. Services are already in place for a kitchenette, offering excellent scope for ancillary accommodation if desired.<br/> <br/>A gravelled driveway to the side of the cottage offers ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, leading to the garage through double gates for added security. A front garden with mature hedging provides privacy from the road. The private rear garden extends to approximately 100ft in length and is predominantly laid to lawn.</p><p><strong>Situation</strong></p><p>Malmesbury, voted 'Best Place to Live in the South West' by the Sunday Times in 2026, is an ancient hilltop town nestled on the southern edge of The Cotswolds.
