Serene Colors and Historic Elements in an Elizabethan Home in Wiltshire
This four-bedroom Elizabethan house lies on a quiet residential street in the county of Wiltshire in England. The historic house was lovingly restored by its current owners, creating open and social living space while retaining characteristic period elements.
The core of the building dates back to the Elizabethan times in the 16th century, but the house has been altered and enlarged during the 19th century and by the present owners. The old house now features open interior spaces with cozy and bright rooms divided over three floors, connected by a series of wonderfully winding original staircases.
The original oak-paneled front door gives access to the historic home, leading into an open hall with a flagstone floor and a dining room to the left with wooden floorboards.
A modern wooden dining table stands atop white-painted floorboards and a large natural-colored rug. The fireplace adds a warm glow to the room when lit, and the exposed beams show the history of the building.
On the other side of the hall lies a charming living room with a large bay window and an open fireplace. The walls are painted in a soothing beige shade, paired with a cream-colored carpet.
The kitchen is designed in a charming country style with timber cabinets and worktops, a pale blue AGA stove, and clay quarry tiles underfoot.
The butler sink is situated under a casement window facing the garden.
From the ground floor, a curved timber staircase leads you to the first floor with two bedrooms.
The first floor is home to two spacious bedrooms with wonderful rustic wooden floorboards and two bathrooms.
One of the bathrooms had blue paneling and an original Burlington sink.
Two more bedrooms and a bathroom can be found on the second floor, each with period elements like exposed wooden beams and wooden floorboards.
The bathroom on the top floor is a wonderful space with black and white tiling, a bath, and a Velux window.
At the back of the house lies a wonderful split-level walled garden with a patio and well-tended flower beds.
The house is listed for £750,000 at Inigo.
