Stylish new townhouses are on the radar

Wiltshire homebuyers could be living the high life with a three-storey town house on the site of a former secret World War II radar factory in Malmesbury. A selection of stylish four-bedroom townhouses are now on sale at Redrow’s Cowbridge Mill development, offering spacious homes in a beautiful setting.

Andrea Nippe, sales manager for Redrow Homes (South West), said: “Three-storey homes offer families and other homebuyers the opportunity to choose how they use the extra space in their property.

“The ‘Sherbourne’ house type at Cowbridge Mill has a flexible layout, with a dining room, cloakroom, kitchen and living area on the ground floor, master bedroom, with ensuite, and a lounge on the first floor, and three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom on the top floor. It really is up to our customers how they use this space; it can be adapted to suit their own lifestyle and practical needs.

“Cowbridge Mill is in a beautiful location and home owners will enjoy the benefits of a countryside setting, overlooking the river and water meadows.

“A protected mature tree belt within the site will be retained, creating an attractive backdrop, and proposed refurbishment of the mill building into a restaurant will be an added attraction for our customers.

“There’s also an easy commute to the M4 for access to Swindon and Bristol, whilst Malmesbury is about halfway between the historic city of Bath and the capital of the Cotswolds, Cirencester.”

The development will eventually comprise of 143 new homes and live-work units built on land originally occupied by the grand Cowbridge House and a mill, which dates back to the 1700s.

The choice for home buyers will eventually include apartments, semi-detached and detached houses, terraced homes and three-storey town houses, offering everything from one to five bedrooms.

The site was formerly owned by Lucent Technologies and used for manufacturing until 1996 – including as a Second World War radar factory.

Malmesbury itself is an ancient market town with a wealth of 17th and 18th century buildings, many of which now accommodate a host of welcoming pubs and shops, and is famous for its seventh century abbey and gardens. The town has all of the local amenities people would expect, including a choice of good schools.

The ‘Sherbourne’ townhouses are available from £389,995. There is also a range of two-bedroom apartments on sale at Cowbridge Mill from £176,995 to £198,995, which come with either a single or double parking space.
