Description
This stunning Grade II-listed converted church in Wiltshire boasts a wealth of period features, including a Grade II*-listed stained-glass window with a panel by renowned Victorian artist Edward Burne-Jones. The property, which spans 2,844 sq ft, has been sensitively converted to create a four-bedroom home with a private garden and separate ancillary building on an adjoining plot.

The interior boasts pitch pine floorboards, a contemporary stairway, and a striking kitchen with terracotta tiles and appliances. The property also features a spiral staircase, a gym/study, and a bell tower with a working church bell. The extensive garden is surrounded by bucolic pasture and features intimate patio spaces for entertaining or outdoor dining. With easy access to London via nearby Chippenham station, this unique property offers a perfect blend of rural charm and urban convenience.
