Location:

Situated on the edge of the ever-popular village of Manton, the village boasts an OFSTED outstanding rated primary school and The Oddfellows pub.

Along with being the second widest high street in the UK, it is host to a fantastic range of shops, cafes, restaurants, and public houses. It is certainly the many independent and boutique businesses that help Marlborough retain its character and charm, and these sit side by side with larger national chains such as Waitrose. There is a twice weekly market selling everything from fruit and veg to hardware and garden furniture, and also a charming independent cinema.

There is a variety of excellent schooling available at all levels in and around the town, including St. John's Marlborough and the world-famous Marlborough College. The surrounding countryside is also a huge draw, with country walks, bike rides and other outdoor pursuits all readily available. The Marlborough Downs, Savernake Forest, West Woods and many other beauty spots are within easy reach. For transport, the M4 is easily accessible as is the A34. The train stations at Pewsey, Swindon, Great Bedwyn and Hungerford offer direct services into London Paddington with the fastest taking under 1hr.
