4 Bed Semi-Detached House, Single Let, Marlborough, SN8 3EJ £700,000

We chose this property as we were looking for a spacious home with some character features that was close to both Hungerford and Marlborough, with their great range of shops, cafes and restaurants. We loved that it had an interesting garden that was not overlooked, with beautiful rural views from the top.

Accommodation Summary:

Ground Floor:

Spacious and bright interiors await inside this beautifully presented home, which offers character accommodation combined with contemporary finishes. With extensive refurbishments carried out, Fuchsia Cottage is presented in immaculate condition. The sitting room benefits from a corner positioned log burner and double doors out to the rear patio. A well-appointed kitchen adjoins the useful utility room and generous dining room with attractive exposed brick chimney breast. An integral garage with cellar beneath and WC completes the ground floor.

First Floor:

To the first floor are four spacious double bedrooms, with the one benefiting from an additional attic room, currently in use as an office. Built-in wardrobes to both the principal and second bedroom provide superb storage. Many of these rooms have delightful views either to the rear garden, or to the green open space to the front of the property. Again, one is struck by the excellent standard of presentation throughout, including the separate shower room and main bathroom.

Outside:

The gravelled driveway provides ample parking space for several vehicles and leads around the side of the house allowing access to the garage. The attractive rear patio area is surrounded by a raised bank, planted with a variety of colourful shrubbery. The elevated garden, which incorporates a small vegetable plot and greenhouse, extends substantially and offers lovely views of the surrounding countryside. A large outbuilding at the far end of the garden could be converted to a variety of uses, perhaps a useful additional office, summerhouse or gym.

Location:

On the Southern edge of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Collingbourne Ducis is ideally situated for multiple walking and cycling routes throughout the Wiltshire countryside. With a nearby local shop and post office counter, the village also has a range of local eateries with a deli and two local public houses, The Tipple Inn and The Shears Inn. There is a popular local primary school close to the village hall and Cricket Club within a few minutes’ walk and St. Andrew’s Church is at the opposite end of the village.

Just under 9 miles away are the villages of Bedwyn and Pewsey with train lines to Paddington taking approximately one hour or just 10 miles away is the town of Andover, with trains to Waterloo taking just over an hour. To the North lies the thriving market town of Marlborough, around 10 miles away offering a fantastic range of shopping, from small independent boutiques like The Merchant’s House, Biggie Best, and The White Horse Bookshop; to national retailers such as Waitrose, Space NK and The White Company. There are also plenty of excellent dining options such as Dan’s at The Crown, Rick Stein’s and Bunce's to name just a few, in addition to a wonderful independent cinema situated on The Parade. Many families are attracted to the area for the excellent schooling on offer in both the private and state sectors which locally include Collingbourne CofE Primary (state), St. Francis Prep (independent), Marlborough College (independent), Dauntsey’s (independent) and many more.
