An exceptionally elegant Georgian town house situated in the heart of Wilton.
Part of the Earl of Pembroke's Estate, Bulbridge House is Grade II Listed with many important architectural features and historical connections (Edith Olivier, Cecil Beaton, Lady Juliet Duff, Rex Whistler). This three-storey house was first built on the site in 1700, and was subsequently remodelled and reduced in size by James Wyatt in 1794. The house has been sympathetically altered and extended since then. In consultation with Lord and Lady Pembroke, the house was extensively renovated during 2018/2019 by R Moulding & Co.
The house offers beautifully proportioned accommodation with the classical features so typical of a property of this era, with large sash windows, beautiful high ceilings, feature fireplaces, ornate ceiling cornicing and of course a classical Georgian style reception hall.
The stair hall which leads into the garden, provides access to the dining room and the drawing room. Doors lead from the drawing room to the family room and also to the patio and garden. There is a large kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility/boot room, ground floor cloakroom and lobby which provides access to the parking area and garage on the northern side of the house.
On the first floor there is a large principal bedroom suite overlooking the gardens that benefits from an adjoining dressing room and ensuite bathrooms along with four further bedrooms and three bathrooms. Upstairs there are two attic bedrooms, one ensuite. The house is linked by the ground floor lobby and first floor walk way to a three bedroom annexe with a private entrance which could be used as separate accommodation.
The property comes with approximately 11 acres of land which leads down to the River Nadder on the western boundary. The west terrace to the house leads to a sunken garden and the classical loggia, which was designed by Rex Whistler, is an ideal outside entertaining space. The gravel forecourt is screened from the road by a tall beech hedge and leads to a large garage with parking area and a store. There is also an orchard and former kitchen gardens enclosed by tall yew hedges.
The self-contained cottage has a separate council tax band (D) and EPC rating (D).
Bulbridge House is one of the finest residences available to rent just moments from centre of Wilton.
