Occupying a wonderful position at the heart of Church Lench, Marlborough is an impressive detached family residence set within approximately 0.9-acres of beautifully established gardens. Approached via a winding gravelled driveway from Atch Lench Road, the property immediately conveys a sense of arrival and stature, offering over 3,700 sq.ft. of versatile accommodation designed to complement both family life and entertaining on a generous scale. Set back behind front lawns and mature planted borders, the expansive driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles, elegantly arranged around a circular raised bed with an established tree as its centrepiece. The approach creates a fitting prelude to the house itself; a home of presence, balance, and practicality. Internally, a welcoming porch opens into a spacious entrance hall where a timber staircase with glazed panels rises to the first-floor landing, establishing a light-filled and refined first impression. The principal living room is both generous and inviting, featuring a striking inset, wall-mounted wood burning stove and a large bay window overlooking the front. Glazed double doors connect seamlessly to the rear conservatory, enhancing the natural flow of the living spaces. The formal dining room enjoys a pleasant dual aspect, offering an elegant setting for gatherings, while a snug or home office provides a quieter retreat with views over the driveway. At the centre of the home lies a contemporary feature kitchen, appointed with tiled flooring, stylish white cabinetry, contrasting black worktops, and integrated appliances. A cloakroom/ W.C. and adjoining utility room add everyday convenience, with direct access to the rear gardens. The conservatory, thoughtfully arranged as an additional dining or reception space, offers year-round enjoyment, complete with its own central feature wood burning stove and glazed double doors opening onto the patio. A further discreet study, equally suited as a home office or potential additional bedroom, adds valuable flexibility. To the first floor, the accommodation is both substantial and beautifully proportioned. The magnificent primary bedroom suite, extending to almost 500 sq.ft., forms a true sanctuary, complemented by an en-suite shower room and a spacious dressing room. Four further bedrooms provide excellent family or guest accommodation, supported by an additional en-suite shower room and a well-appointed family bathroom featuring both a bath and double shower cubicle. Externally, Marlborough continues to impress. The extensive rear gardens unfold across sweeping lawns interspersed with mature trees and established planted borders, creating a setting of notable privacy and tranquillity. Paved seating areas, a charming fish pond, and three useful sheds contribute to both enjoyment and practicality, while a stylish patio bar and kitchen (complete with fitted units and an integrated gas BBQ) offers an exceptional space for outdoor entertaining. A detached garage building provides further distinction, incorporating an electric door, storage or workshop space, a shower room, and a first-floor games room above. The versatility of this structure presents exciting potential for alternative uses, subject to the necessary approvals. Marlborough represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial village home of scale, flexibility, and lifestyle appeal, set within one of the Vale’s most sought-after villages. A property of this nature and setting is seldom available; early viewing is highly recommended. The property is located within a beautiful semi-rural village, offering plenty of opportunity to embrace a country lifestyle without compromising on the convenience of nearby towns. Whether you enjoy morning walks, picnics in the sun, or simply gazing at the stars on a clear night, this property provides the perfect backdrop for an idyllic lifestyle. Church Lench is the largest of the Lenches villages, located approximately 6 miles north of the market town of Evesham. The village benefits from a range of facilities including a first school, church, village hall, pre-school group and local sporting clubs. The nearby village of Harvington provides access to a convenience store and public houses, with larger supermarkets accessible a short commute away in Evesham, Pershore or Alcester. It is the perfect chance to enjoy rural serenity but still having access to convenience within reasonable distance. Rural country and riverside walks are a plenty in the area, with an abundance of opportunity to see picturesque views, historical points of interest and enjoy the beauty of the River Avon. A short commute away from the property is access to National Trust sites including Croome, Snowshill Manor, Coughton Court and Hidcote as well as the Spetchley Park Estate. Evesham and Pershore provide a good selection of independent and chain retail stores, community groups, leisure centre and sporting facilities, and an impressive selection of cafes and eateries to cater to every palate. Evesham and Pershore offer plenty of selection for those with interest in the arts, enjoying independent cinemas, a community arts centre, regular live performances and access to operatic and dramatic groups. The nearby Ragley Hall also plays host to numerous events throughout the year including the Midlands Air Festival, DogFest and Camper Calling.
