Description

Located centrally in the popular village of Manton, 8 High Street is a charming period semi-detached cottage with lovely features throughout.

The cottage is approached via a shared pathway and upon entry, you are greeted with the characterful sitting room, with fabulous exposed beams, wooden floors and a wood-burning stove with a beautiful brick surround. The sitting room also features the perfect space for a play area but could also be used as a study.

Steps lead up to the kitchen/dining room, which has been opened up by the current owner to create a fabulous space overlooking the garden. The kitchen / dining room has a great feel to it and, due to its southerly aspect, enjoys a bright and airy feel. The kitchen is fitted with a selection of fitted cupboards, oak work surfaces and a stable door opening on to the garden.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom.

Situation

Manton is 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. Train services (Paddington in 50 minutes from Hungerford or Swindon) and M4 connections make London easily accessible.
