An “impressive” town centre house which has just appeared on the market boasts its own indoor gym and games room.

At £1,500,000 this property “in the heart of Highworth” is not cheap, but according to agent Hanley’s you do get a lot for your money.

The six-bedroom home spreads over three floors with a detached garage and a landscaped garden.

The listing begins: “An impressive six-bedroom Period property which has been thoughtfully updated by the current owners and offers spacious accommodation over three floors.

“Set within walled gardens close to the High Street and Market Place, this stunning home retains its charm from the remaining period features and its sympathetic renovation.”

The heritage is revealed, quite literally, by exposed beams, fireplaces, woodburning stoves and “elegant” display cabinets fitted into the alcoves.

The kitchen has vaulted ceilings with a range of wall and base units, central island with storage, integrated appliances, range cooker, stone work surfaces.(Image: Hanley's)

The house includes “elegant high ceilings and charming period staircase”. Throughout much of the house rugs cover the exposed wooden floorboards.

A children’s room with pink wallpaper with orange foxed is the most colourful bedroom, and for patriotic children the current owner has a union jack draped top floor bed.

Outside the heritage reveals itself again where “the beautiful landscaped gardens are stocked and well maintained and are designed to blend into the surroundings with areas predominantly laid to lawn with mature borders and charming stone paved courtyards.(Image: Hanley's)

A survey of the Highworth Town conservation area reports: “Almost every building in the High Street, Market Place and Sheep Street area is listed. 

“Most buildings date from the 18th century but many are based on earlier structures.”

One of the features that is not from the 18th century is the indoor gym - pictures show everything you could need for a fitness push.(Image: Hanley's)

This includes free-weights a treadmill and even a punching bag. Beyond this is a garage with a games room above that.

The games room can be seen with a darts board, pool table and even some shields on the walls, along with some comfy-looking sofas for falling asleep on afterwards.

Hanley’s concludes: “Highworth is an attractive market town built around the beautiful 13th Century church with a selection of independent shops, restaurants, pubs, doctors, dentist, schools and weekly market.”

One of the latest additions to Highworth’s shopping offer was Chloe’s Bakery, which opened in April this year.
