There is a large flagstone patio providing an elevated seating area, perfect for BBQ’s and al-fresco dining. Steps lead down to the lawned garden which is of a good size and level, so perfect for children and dogs to run around and enjoy. From the house, many rural walks can be accessed and across the road is the village of Manton, where one can enjoy a drink in the local village pub.

SITUATION

Manton Hollow is just outside the village of Manton, on the southern banks of the River Kennet approximately 1 mile from Marlborough. The walk into Marlborough is about 10 minutes via a lane and footpath which follows the river. Village amenities include an excellent primary school, a toddler group, a church and a public house. There is also a recently renovated recreational ground in Manton with a playground/adventure course which runs down to the river. Marlborough is a thriving market town with excellent shopping including Waitrose and Tesco’s, as well as restaurants including Rick Stein, ASK and Caffé Nero in addition to the shopping precincts Hilliers Yard (near Waitrose) and Hughenden Yard (between Boots and W H Smith). The leisure centre and golf club and tennis club provide excellent sporting facilities. Although self-sufficient, the town is well placed for other centres including Swindon, Bath, Hungerford and Newbury and is surrounded by the most attractive countryside of the Marlborough Downs, Pewsey Vale and Kennet Valley. Intercity (Paddington in 50 minutes from Hungerford or Swindon) rail and M4 connections make London easily accessible.
