Barn Street, Marlborough, SN8

Originally three charming cottages from the Georgian period, 9-11 Barn Street has been thoughtfully combined to create a distinctive Grade II listed home, retaining a wealth of period features including exposed beams and timbers, original brickwork, open fireplaces and plenty of individuality. The result is a warm and welcoming home with a wonderfully homely feel, offering comfortable and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors in the heart of Marlborough.

Stepping through the front door, the entrance vestibule provides a useful space for coats and boots before opening into the reception hall. Exposed beams, original features and a striking central fireplace immediately establish the character of the property, with terracotta floor tiles continuing through into the adjoining sitting room and creating a warm and welcoming feel.

The sitting room is a particularly inviting room, with a dual aspect, exposed brickwork, character beams and a beautiful period fireplace creating a comfortable space in which to relax. A fully glazed door opens directly onto the rear garden, giving a lovely connection between the house and outside space. The room is equally well suited to dining, providing flexibility depending on the owner's requirements.

Opposite the hall, a traditional stable door leads into the recently refurbished kitchen/dining room, a wonderfully homely space at the heart of the house. An impressive gas fired Aga provides a natural focal point, complemented by good storage, exposed black beams and porcelain tiled flooring. Dual-aspect secondary glazed windows are a valuable feature in a Grade II listed property of this age, helping to improve insulation and contributing to the property's EPC rating of D. The room has a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, making it equally suited to everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen leads through to a generous utility room, providing further storage, a sink, space for appliances and the gas combi boiler, together with direct access to the garden. A spacious family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath completes the ground floor.

On the first floor, a generous landing is currently arranged as a study area which enjoys views towards St Mary's Church, and provides access to two good-sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features an entire wall of fitted wardrobes, while both bedrooms are served by a well-appointed shower room.

A further hallway leads to a useful walk-in wardrobe and staircase rising to the third double bedroom. With exposed beams and elevated views towards the Church, this is another delightful room with a distinctly characterful feel.

The fourth bedroom is approached via a separate staircase, creating a useful degree of privacy. A spacious dressing room, with original beams and secondary glazed windows, leads into the bedroom itself, where built-in cupboards reveal sections of the original brickwork. Extensive fitted storage adds to the practicality of this particularly individual space.

Outside, the walled rear garden is a real feature of the property, offering a good degree of privacy despite its central Marlborough position. The traditional walls surround a thoughtfully landscaped garden with a vehicle hard standing, generous patio, elevated terrace for outdoor dining and level lawn, complemented by mature planting and hedging. Attractive views extend across Marlborough's historic rooftops and surrounding buildings.

A brick-built outbuilding, formerly the original outside lavatories serving the three cottages, provides useful additional storage while retaining an interesting link to the property's history. Gated access leads to Wye Lane.

For a property so centrally positioned, the secure off-street parking is a particular advantage, with space for two cars parked in tandem on the driveway, securely positioned behind the gates serving the property.

An individual and intriguing home with a fascinating history, 9-11 Barn Street offers the atmosphere and architectural detail of its historic origins alongside the comfort and flexibility of modern living. Its central Marlborough position, private garden and secure parking make this a particularly appealing opportunity to own a home with genuine individuality and character.
