Charlotte Becque has provided us with a real smorgasbord of properties - all shapes, sizes, prices and levels of readiness. Some would be fine just as they are; you could move in tomorrow (if the English way of selling houses wasn't as painful as I imagine a trip to a Victorian dentist would be). Others, well, they are going to need some of your ingenuity, perhaps your handiwork, and almost definitely your money.
The numbers I would look out for on your way down:
No.3 Conjures up a different kind of life for me - a life of comfort, and I'd say 100% more chintz.
No.9 One couldn't help but be charmed by number 9. I've always loved the idea of Mousehole, and have heard the Cornish just adore interlopers.
No10 Takes showstopper position it needs some love and attention but by goodness what that fella could be, a real Mr Darcy in the right hands.
No.15 Quite the most thoughtfully designed of the lot.
No.18 A simply marvellous structure - perhaps a little more imagination needed for the interiors, but we're all capable of that.
Tucked at the bottom of Malmesbury's bustling High Street, 125 High Street is a wonderfully deceptive Grade II listed gem, offering over 2,560 sq ft of character-filled accommodation behind its charming terraced façade. Dating back to the early 17th century, this versatile home is bursting with historic charm, from exposed beamed ceilings and characterful fireplaces to a magnificent vaulted reception room with its own mezzanine, while outside, the secluded garden backs directly onto the River Avon water meadows for a peaceful, green outlook. Set in Malmesbury, voted 'Best Place to Live in the South West' by the Sunday Times in 2026, it enjoys the very best of Cotswold town life with easy access to London, Bristol, and Swindon.
