This elegant period house is one of the finest houses in Chippenham. It dates originally from the 17th century, with later additions in the 18th and 19th centuries and is elegantly proportioned, with excellent ceiling heights and tall windows that take advantage of the lovely views across the garden, and across the River Avon to Monkton Park beyond. For all its age and character, the house has excellent and very manageable family living space with three reception rooms, as well as a good kitchen/breakfast room, with a garden room leading off. On the first floor are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a separate dressing room (or 5th bedroom). The second floor can be used an integral flat (if desired), with 2 interconnecting rooms and a bathroom.
The Grove is approached through a sliding wooden gate which opens onto a gravelled parking area with a two-car carport to one side. There is also a pretty detached former stable building. The garden is large for a town house – about 1.22 acres in all. It is mainly lawned, flanked by mature trees and with the River Avon forming the northern boundary.
