Westbury, BA13 3DW

Nestled just off the Market Place in the heart of historic Westbury, this utterly enchanting Grade II Listed Georgian cottage is a rare find. This home is a beautifully restored slice of 18th-century charm that’s overflowing with character, elegance, and soul. Once a horse cab and railway booking office in the early 1900s, this exceptional home has been lovingly refurbished over recent years to create a warm, inviting and unique home that perfectly blends period features with modern living and has a timeless atmosphere, that makes this cottage feel special the moment you step inside. As you walk through the front door you will instantly be wowed! The pretty sitting room has a cast iron fireplace that immediately catches your eye; an ideal spot to curl up by the fire with a good book and a glass of a winter's evening. The adjoining dining room is nothing short of delightful, centred around a magnificent inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove. It’s a space made for memorable dinners, lively conversations, and the quiet glow of firelight. Then there’s the kitchen! With its handmade wooden cabinetry, rustic worktops, vaulted ceiling, exposed brickwork and timber beams, it’s bursting with personality and charm. It opens onto a handy utility space and a downstairs cloakroom, all cleverly tucked away. Upstairs on the first floor, the main bedroom is a serene retreat. With a view that stretches across the Market Place, this room feels as romantic as it is restful, with alcoves that invite you to add your own storage or styling flair. The second room on this floor is currently set up as a child's bedroom, but could be a nursery, study or even a dressing room to the main bedroom. The bathroom, recently refitted with a walk-in shower, traditional high-level WC, and statement basin with atmospheric wall lighting, adds a luxurious touch while still giving a respectful nod to the property's heritage. Climb the stairs again and you’ll find a glorious vaulted attic room. This dual aspect room has exposed beams that create a dreamy, peaceful hideaway which is perfect for guests, working from home, or simply a quiet escape from the world. Outside, the magic continues. The southerly-facing courtyard garden is an absolute gem. This walled space is a private haven, with a backdrop of All Saints’ Church. With brick paving, gravel paths, a rose and shrub border, and a pretty cherry tree, it’s a little sanctuary of calm right in the centre of town, and there is a pedestrian gate that leads directly to the Church green. This home also benefits from a covered storage area and substantial outbuilding with power and a tiled floor offering a wealth of possibilities. It’s currently ideal for hobbies, garden lounging or storage, but could be transformed into a stunning office, studio or even integrated into the main house (subject to the usual consents). Set in the quietly historic and utterly picturesque Cannon Green this charming Georgian terrace, once home to a Crimean War cannon, this property combines rich local history with a luxurious, character-filled lifestyle. Whether you’re seeking your forever home, a weekend bolthole or an inspiring creative haven, this exquisite cottage is one you simply won’t want to leave. The Owners Love - 'What we love about our home is how unbelievably cosy it is. We always have the fires going in the colder months - there’s nothing better than curling up on the sofa to watch a movie or inviting friends over for a candlelit dinner in front of the fire. Backing onto the church is amazing for us as it is always so quiet and peaceful in the garden. In the summer we spend most of our time outside, enjoying the sun from sunrise to sunset - perfect for barbecues and cocktails… we’ve waisted away so many hours in our little haven.' Kim Loves – 'The charm and location of this home is simply irresistible. From the moment you step through the front door, it has a wonderfully warm and welcoming feel. The dining room with inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove is a true highlight, creating a fabulous space to entertain.'
