Capacidad para 4 personas en 2 habitaciones

The Leat at Wynyard Mill is a unique riverside retreat with enviable views across the rooftops of Malmesbury. Part of a 19th century mill this quirky holiday cottage is perfect for leaving the car behind and exploring on foot.

Take a break for some rest and relaxation, spending time in the elegant open plan living area on the top floor. Beneath the beamed apex this is a lovely space where you can put your feet up after a day spent exploring the historic attractions. Preparing meals is easy in the compact but well-equipped kitchen and there is a dining table you can set for four guests. The unusual layout means the two bedrooms are on their own floor making it feel as if you have more space to yourself. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite and there is a second bathroom on the top floor.

The sitting area opens out onto the balcony which is a fabulous addition to this house. Spend some time here with your morning coffee enjoying these fabulous views with the gentle soundtrack of the River Avon flowing beneath.

Ground Floor

Entrance Hall
Stepping into The Leat there is a handy space to leave your coats and shoes before heading up the stairs.

Bedroom One
This snug double bedroom has a super king-size bed which can be arranged as two singles if needed. Making good use of the cottage’s staggered layout, an attractive country-cream décor is brought to life by contemporary pops of blue alongside artwork of Malmesbury through the ages, evoking a sense of the cottage’s rich history as the town’s historic watermill.

En-suite
A small en-suite shower room with a hand basin and toilet offers guests a good amount of privacy.

First Floor

Bedroom Two
The cottage’s second bedroom is a spacious twin room that can be converted to a super king-size bed should you prefer. Bursting with light thanks to a bright bay window that overlooks the river below, here the cottage’s heritage shines through the exposed ceiling beams, with vibrant red fabrics giving an elegant pop of colour to the classic country colour palette. There is a spacious double wardrobe and handy additional chest of drawers, plus a large bay window; the perfect spot to watch the river as it flows beneath.

Second Floor

Kitchen/Dining/Living Area
Found up the winding staircase on the cottage’s top floor is the open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area. A light, bright space with views from every angle, this is a cosy spot to whip up a feast and put your feet up after a busy day exploring the winding honey-stoned streets of Malmesbury.

A compact but well-equipped kitchen area has wooden worktops, slate flooring, and country-cream units complementing the cottage’s heritage expertly. Perfectly kitted out with all you’ll need for a self-catered stay, there’s an electric hob/oven, microwave, small extendable dining table, and plenty of cookware and crockery to make use of, plus a washing machine and freezer tucked out of sight in a small utility room at the top of the stairs.

Leading on from the kitchen is the spacious living area, brightly lit by skylights and windows from every angle which floods the space with natural light. Attractive leather seating gives the living space a cool, contemporary feel, whilst exposed beams and country cream hues evoke a feeling of countrified elegance. Here, you can sit back and relax together (views into the kitchen mean that the cook of the group never has to feel isolated from the rest), or unwind in front of the TV, with plenty of DVDs to choose from.

Family Bathroom
A family bathroom, at the end of the stairs of the living area, features a bath and separate shower, toilet, and basin, flooded with light thanks to a Velux window.

Outside

A set of French doors at the end of the living area open up onto a pretty balcony area complete with an outdoor dining set; the perfect place to enjoy the views of the river below, tuck into an alfresco feast or watch a traditional game of bowls, courtesy of Malmesbury Bowls Club next door. The river flows directly beneath this old mill and provides some easy-to-follow walking routes right from your doorstep. A real benefit in this busy market town are the two parking spaces that come with the property, found on the driveway at the end of the Mill building.
