A downstairs WC and large understairs cupboard complete the ground floor.

Location:
It is difficult to think of many amenities that Marlborough lacks. It boasts the second widest high street in the UK, and is host to a fantastic range of shops, cafes, restaurants, and public houses, all within a very short walk of the front door of Eagle House. It is certainly the many independent and boutique business that help Marlborough retain its character and charm. The picturesque historic high street itself provides many interesting and architecturally important buildings. Mentioned in the Domesday book of 1097 as ‘Merleberge’, Marlborough was later granted market town status in 1204 by King John. There is still a twice weekly market to this day selling everything from fruit and veg to hardware and garden furniture.

There is excellent schooling at all levels locally in both the state and private sectors with secondary provision at St. John’s Academy, Dauntsey’s and Marlborough College. The surrounding countryside is a huge draw to the area, with country walks, bike rides and other outdoor pursuits all readily available.
