St. Martins, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8

Description

Constructed in 1830 of mellow red brick elevations, 38 St. Martins is a stunning Grade II listed, three bedroom Regency townhouse.

The front door opens into the hallway with the double aspect drawing room spanning the majority of the ground floor, with a beautiful fireplace and bookcases. From the hallway there is access down to the garden via original Bath Stone steps.

The property has a great deal of charm and character and light flows through the house, aided by the impressive high ceilings and southerly aspect. The lower ground floor provides a charming dining room with a period fireplace and garden access and links through to the large kitchen with gas Rayburn (which supplies hot water to the house), separate utility and cloakroom.

Heading upstairs and to the rear of the property is the well-appointed bathroom. Steps lead up to the first floor with the generous principal bedroom enjoying southerly views towards the Savernake Forest. There is a further double bedroom, a single bedroom and large loft (accessed from the landing), offering very handy extra storage space.

Outside

The house is approached from St Martins via steps passing through original rails with cast spear heads. A notable feature of this stunning property is the expansive and beautifully maintained garden to the rear. The garden is 180 feet long and is currently open with the neighbouring property and is mainly laid to lawn with a wide variety of established trees and shrubs. The lower part of the extensive garden provides the ideal opportunity to erect a home office or gym, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
