Description

Located a short walk from Marlborough High Street, Hightown is a handsome red brick, detached house offering lightfilled, elegantly appointed accommodation and combining period character with stylish modern fittings.

Approached through a welcoming reception hall, this is a delightful family house offering a wealth of living and entertaining space throughout. The kitchen area is beautifully appointed with a high quality modern kitchen with large island and a range of top quality appliances. The kitchen opens up into a large dining/family area with bi-fold doors that open on two sides to the large south facing terrace.

The main sitting room is exceptional and provides the most wonderful entertaining space, perfect for large gatherings and comfortable with a delightful fitted fireplace. Doors lead from here both to the garden and terrace. In addition, there is another sitting room / study and the downstairs accommodation is completed by a utility room and separate downstairs cloakroom.

On the first floor is a large landing providing access to four of the bedrooms. The principal bedroom, overlooking the garden and with views across the town, has a large ensuite bathroom with separate shower. There is one further bedroom suite in this part of the house with an adjoining shower room. There are two further double bedrooms which are served by the well appointed family bathroom. Above the garage, the owners have created another spacious bedroom with ensuite shower room. This space could be used as the principal bedroom but would also make a wonderful guest room given it is accessed by a separate staircase.
