Seller Insight:

What is your favourite room of the house and why?

Our favourite room would definitely be the open plan living space which includes the kitchen/diner and lounge area. This is a great space for entertaining and provides the focal point of the house. Winter evenings are warmed from the heat of the Aga and the double doors opening onto the patio and garden provide our summer entertaining space.

Who do you think would be the next ideal owner?

We think the house would equally suit a family or a couple. The flexible living space on the ground floor provides a perfect social space for the whole family. A 5 minute walk into the High Street is a real bonus.

What do you love most about the house and why?

The house provides a combination of modern open plan living and period features. It has provided the perfect space, both inside and out, for our family as they have grown.

What do you love about the local community?

There really is a sense of community here with super neighbours and a fantastic choice of amenities just 5 minutes walk away. We love walking into nearby Savernake Forest and the High Street with many independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Local supermarkets are within easy walking distance. There are lots of local clubs and activities for both adults and children alike. We are both keen cyclists and have made many friends through the local cycling club.

How easy is it to commute from here?

It is super easy to commute from Marlborough with train links from nearby Bedwyn, Pewsey, Hungerford and Swindon.

What made you choose this property over others that were available at the time?

We choose this property as we were looking for a period family home with character features within easy walking distance of local schools and the Town Centre.
