Description

2 Athelstan Court is one of twelve homes in this small development, built in 2005–06. It’s a well-proportioned house with great living space including two double bedrooms and two bathrooms.

You come in through a welcoming hallway. The kitchen opens off it and looks out to the front. It has stylish modern units and an integrated gas cooker and hob. Beyond is a good-sized living room with an attractive wooden floor and a rear door that opens straight onto the garden. A ground-floor WC completes this level.

Upstairs, the two double bedrooms are the highlight of the house. One has its own en suite shower room, and a separate bathroom with a bath serves the other.

Outside, the private, enclosed garden is laid to lawn. There’s also a patio under a stylish timber pergola, which is ideal for barbecues and eating outdoors. The house comes with allocated parking for one car.

Location

Athelstan Court is about a 10-minute walk from the centre of Malmesbury. A good-sized Co-op supermarket and a popular gym are just a short walk from the house. In the town centre you’ll find independent shops, pubs and restaurants, and a weekly Farmers’ Market at the Market Cross. There’s a Waitrose and an Aldi on the edge of town, a good choice of primary and secondary schools, and a broad range of sports and leisure facilities. The Sunday Times recently named Malmesbury the Best Place to Live in the South West, praising its lively high street and close-knit community.

The town itself sits on a hilltop at the southern edge of the Cotswolds and has long been the market town for North West Wiltshire. It is said to be England’s oldest borough, granted its charter by Alfred the Great in 880 AD. The town is dominated by its magnificent 12th-century Abbey, where King Athelstan is said to be buried. Its streets are full of period buildings, among them The Old Bell, reputedly the oldest hotel in England.

Junction 17 of the M4 is close by for Bristol, Swindon, London and the West Country. Chippenham and Kemble stations both have main-line services, and trains to London Paddington take around 75 minutes.
