Fine & Country Marlborough and Devizes are delighted to be marketing this spacious, detached 5 bedroom home in a convenient location and with far-reaching countryside views.

Although constructed around 20 years ago, Valley View has been built to a Scandinavian timber framed design and is full of character with exposed beams and a beautiful inglenook fireplace with log burner in the sitting room. Situated a short walk from the high street and its plethora of amenities, this spacious 5-bedroom family home with integral double garage benefits from far-reaching countryside views towards the Og Valley.

Marlborough is a thriving market town situated within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town and surrounding countryside whilst stunning, is also steeped in history. The ancient Savernake Forest offers around 4,500 acres of woodland to explore, and Marlborough itself has a bewildering array of independent and boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, and public houses, sitting alongside the convenience of large, national retailers.   Railways stations at Great Bedwyn, Hungerford and Pewsey have direct service to London Paddington in around 1hr.

Accommodation Summary:

Ground Floor:
The spectacular double-height hall with gallery provides an impressive entrance to the property. A spacious kitchen and breakfast room runs along the back of the property overlooking the garden. Flooded with natural light, this really can be the heart of the home. A large utility room off the kitchen offers excellent practical space for a family and leads directly to the garden and into the integral double garage, superb for storage. The delightful inglenook fireplace in the sitting room has been fitted with wood burning stove and along with the exposed timber beams, and bay window throughout offer great character, so often absent in buildings of a similar age. A family/dining room leads through to a study 5th bedroom and these two rooms could lend themselves to a variety of uses. The downstairs WC has been enlarged and a shower added, perfect for guests.

First Floor:
The staircase leads up to a galleried landing off which the 4 upstairs bedrooms, airing cupboard and family bathroom can be found. The main bedroom comes with generous ensuite shower room, and ample wardrobe space. Bedroom 2 is also ensuite, so it is just bedrooom 3 and 4 that share the main bathroom. Exposed timber beams add to the sense of charm and the views out from the rear windows over the Og Valley are beautiful. A variety of storage can be found in the eaves and in the two loft spaces above.

Outside:
A large driveway allows parking for several vehicles and easy access into the garage. The property occupies a corner plot and the rear garden wraps in an L-shape around the house. A terrace off the kitchen/breakfast room provides an excellent space for al-fresco dining, and the garden is predominantly laid to lawn with shrubs and borders surrounding. A side gate provides access directly between the front of the property and the rear garden.

Location:
For those looking for a convenient location with delightful views, Valley View offers the ideal balance and many amenities within a short walk. The national cycle network running along an old railway line and numerous footpaths and by-ways can be found within moments of the front door, with some stunning scenery. It is difficult to think of many things that Marlborough High Street lacks. 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, all within a very short walk of your front door. It is certainly the many independent and boutique business that help Marlborough retain its character and charm, and these sit side by side with larger national chains such as Waitrose. The picturesque historic high street itself provides many interesting and architecturally important buildings. Mentioned in the Domesday book of 1097 as 'Merleberge', Marlborough was later granted market town status in 1204 by King John. There is still a twice weekly market to this day selling everything from fruit and veg to hardware and garden furniture.

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