The Accommodation
Dating back to the 18th century, this impressive Grade II Listed former silk mill was sympathetically converted into just eleven apartments during the mid-1980s. Number 4 occupies an enviable first floor position, arguably one of the finest within the building, enjoying an open aspect over the town's river bridge to the front and towards the Inner Silk Mill to the rear. Situated on the southern edge of Malmesbury, the property is just a short walk from the High Street and Waitrose supermarket.
A communal entrance with intercom system provides access to the building, with stairs leading to the first floor and the apartment's private front door. Inside, a light and welcoming entrance hall opens into a further reception hall, from which the principal rooms are accessed. Undoubtedly the highlight of the accommodation is the spectacular dual-aspect sitting/dining room, with five windows flooding the room with natural light and offering lovely views over the river towards the park beyond. The spacious accommodation also includes two generous double bedrooms, a kitchen and a family bathroom.
Combining the character and history of this landmark building with exceptionally spacious accommodation, this is a rather special apartment in a highly convenient town centre location.
Outside
To the rear of the mill is an area of communal garden, together with residents' parking where Number 4 benefits from its own allocated space.
