Wiltshire House

Wiltshire House, built in 1905, is a beautiful example of Edwardian architecture, with a raft of period features including high ceilings, cornicing, fireplaces, stained glass and the original range. In 2021, the current owners undertook a comprehensive renovation, which included an impressive extension at the rear of the property. This new open-plan space features a sky lantern and critall doors and windows from Fabco Sanctuary, seamlessly connecting the interior to the rear garden. The bespoke solid wood kitchen, crafted by Luke McHardy, is a highlight of this renovation. Designed with both aesthetics and functionality in mind, the kitchen offers two spacious larder units, concealed power points, and ample storage. It provides enough space for a large farmhouse-style table and includes a bespoke storage and media unit from Luke McHardy in the snug seating area. Additional works completed include a new roof in 2020, re-wiring and re-plumbing, installation of a water softener, new boiler and LPG gas tank, and a shared sewage treatment plant installed in 2019. Modern conveniences such as a Hive heating system, fibre broadband, and hardwood double-glazed sliding sash windows throughout have also been added. The accommodation spans approximately 2700 sq ft, blending traditional architecture with contemporary fixtures and fittings to offer both convenience and comfort. The house features three reception rooms, providing ample space for a growing family to either spread out or come together in front of an open fire.
