7 Bed Detached House, Single Let, Marlborough, SN8 1SU £1,400,000

First Floor:

There are four good-sized double bedrooms on this floor, arranged in a fashion so as to offer excellent privacy for the principal bedroom. There are also two amply proportioned bathrooms and a separate lavatory. A second set of stairs leads from the principal bedroom down into the kitchen, making that first morning coffee within easy reach!

Second Floor:

There are 3 further bedrooms on the second floor with 2 adjoining. In addition, there is another family bathroom plus small kitchen. This space would be perfect for older children wanting a little more independence, or as guest accommodation, allowing larger families or groups of friends to stay under the same roof.

Outside:

An impressive horse chestnut tree stands proud over the gravelled carriage driveway to the front of March House, and plenty of parking is available. The rear gardens here are truly gorgeous, starting with a patio, the grounds extend almost directly west, perfect for making the most of the afternoon and evening sun. The planting has been beautifully thought through with attractive borders to the lawns and plenty of colour. More mature hedging and trees line the boundary, with well-established apple trees in the orchard.

There are a range of outbuildings offering excellent opportunities for further development (subject to the necessary consents). This includes a generous double garage with separate road access.

Beyond the gardens lies a picturesque gently sloping paddock, which could be suitable for a horse. There is direct access onto the Ridgeway national trail from here, perfect for walking out and enjoying the panoramic views from nearby Barbury Castle. The total plot size extends to about 1.7 acres.

Location:

Ogbourne St. George is situated on the beautiful Marlborough Downs. The national cycle network running along the old railway line makes getting into Marlborough on foot or by bike very convenient and numerous footpaths and by-ways can be found within moments of the front door, with some stunning scenery. The village is 3 miles north of the ever-popular historic market town of Marlborough and 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, independent cinema The Parade, and public houses which sit side by side with larger national chains, such as Waitrose.

There is a variety of excellent schooling available at all levels, an Outstanding rated pre-school and Ogbourne St. George primary within easy walking distance, and St. John’s comprehensive, Marlborough and the world-famous Marlborough College all close at hand. 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, Avebury stone circle, Barbury Castle and many other beauty spots are within easy reach. The scenic Ogbourne Downs golf course is close to the village. For transport, the M4 is easily accessible at Junction 15.
