A charming Grade II listed town house with five-bedrooms, off-street parking, and a beautiful courtyard garden, full of character and with generous proportions throughout.
Steeped in history, Troopers Court is believed to take its name from the Elizabethan era, when the property, together with adjoining buildings, formed part of the renowned ‘Three Cups Inn’. It is said that Cromwell’s soldiers were once billeted here while the troops of King Charles II were stationed nearby at Beverston, lending the house its evocative name. The inn itself carries further literary and historical significance, being referenced in Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey as the principal coaching house, later evolving into an ironmonger’s shop.
Discreetly positioned behind a charming double doors, this enchanting Grade II listed townhouse occupies an enviable setting in the very heart of the town. Rich in character and adorned with a wealth of period detail, the property exudes both warmth and quiet sophistication throughout.
The accommodation extends to five generously proportioned bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family living or for those wishing to host guests in comfort. The principal reception rooms are wonderfully light and inviting, with large windows drawing in an abundance of natural light and creating spaces equally suited to both entertaining and everyday living.
Benefiting from a recently renewed kitchen, the house retains a delightful array of original features, including inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and charming window seats, all of which combine to create a home of considerable character and appeal. The kitchen is particularly well-proportioned, with space for informal dining and doors opening directly onto the garden, whilst the sitting room provides a generous and comfortable retreat. The dining room, in turn, offers an elegant setting for more formal occasions.
Upstairs, practical considerations have been thoughtfully addressed, with ample storage throughout and the added benefit of a useful utility space, complete with provision for appliances alongside linen and storage cupboards. To the rear lies a beautifully enclosed walled garden, offering a private and tranquil outdoor haven. Lovingly maintained, it provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining or quiet enjoyment, with established planting, outbuildings and ample scope for keen gardeners, particularly those with an interest in roses or fruit cultivation.
Off-street parking is available, ideally suited to a smaller vehicle, and the property is offered to the market with the considerable advantage of no onward chain.

I love the courtyard garden, which is an oasis in the centre of town. The generous proportions, charming character, and gated parking make this an attractive property to me.
