Preshute Lane, Manton, Marlborough, SN8

Fine & Country are delighted to present Old Village Hall. A superb opportunity to renovate and modernise this charming building in an enviable location in the centre of Manton, within walking distance of Marlborough.

Accommodation Summary:

Ground Floor:

The front door opens into a generous double height main living room with galleried landing, an impressive space. Like the rest of the property, it could certainly benefit from a renovation in order to maximise its true potential. On one side of the living space is a kitchen with sufficient space to dine, whilst also housing the staircase to the first floor. In addition, there is a side entrance with small hall area off the kitchen. To the other side of the living room is an additional room which previously has been used as a bedroom but could also be a study or second reception room as required and benefits from a large storage cupboard. To the rear of the ground floor is a downstairs toilet, and separate bathroom.

First Floor:

The two first floor bedrooms are at either end of the property, joined by the galleried landing off which is a shower room. As with the ground floor, work is required here to bring up to a suitable standard.

Outside:

An attractive white picket fence encloses a small area garden to the front of The Old Village Hall, planted with a variety of shrubs. In addition, there is a small rear courtyard and the property also includes the adjoining garage.

Location:

There are plenty of opportunities to be part of the community in Manton as the village benefits from the fabulous Oddfellows Pub, a very short walk from the property, a pre-school and the outstanding Preshute primary school. The village also hosts Mantonfest music festival which is held annually and is a wonderful event for all to enjoy. Manton is also within easy walk of Marlborough along footpaths, 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, and public houses. It is certainly the many independent and boutique businesses that help Marlborough retain its character and charm, and these sit side by side with larger national chains such as Waitrose. There is a twice-weekly market selling everything from fruit and veg to hardware and garden furniture, and also a charming independent cinema. There is a variety of excellent schooling available at all levels in and around the town, including St. John’s Marlborough and the world-famous Marlborough College. There is a golf club and tennis club within reach of the High Street. The surrounding countryside is also a huge draw, with country walks, bike rides and other outdoor pursuits all readily available. The Marlborough Downs, the World Heritage site of Avebury, Savernake Forest, West Woods and many other beauty spots are within easy reach. For transport, the M4 is easily accessible as is the A34. The train stations at Pewsey, Great Bedwyn and Hungerford offer direct services into London Paddington with the fastest taking under 1hr.
