East Kennett, Marlborough

A wonderful double fronted cottage, packed with period charm and features. Located along a small lane leading up to the village Church, this endearing home enjoys a terrific garden that backs onto open countryside.

The well laid out interior is currently around 1130sqft and comprises 3 good sized bedrooms with a downstairs bathroom, two lovely reception rooms (with a log burner in the dining room), plus a fitted kitchen with a separate useful pantry. Please note however, that planning consent has been recently granted for two excellent alternate rear extensions that would both substantially increase the accommodation and incorporate an upstairs bathroom and a bigger kitchen. Plans are available upon request. In addition there is also planning permission for a carport with 2 off road parking spaces to the side of the cottage. So as well as being a comfortable and cosy home as it stands, there is so much added potential that is all passed and ready to go with this fabulous period home.

Outside, the current owner has done a great job in transforming the extensive rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn with colourful planted borders and established shrubs, with a separate vegetable growing area at the far end. There are two brick built stores providing helpful storage (these would eb incorporated within the proposed extensions). From the doorstep there are some wonderful rural walks available to the historic East Kennett Long Barrow, and the attractive Market Town of Marlborough is only 5 miles away for a wide range of amenities and leisure facilities.

Situation - This charming cottage is peacefully located on the eastern edge of the village of East Kennett. The village lies around 5 miles west of the market town of Marlborough and is surrounded by the stunning, rolling landscapes of the Marlborough Downs, offering fantastic opportunities for walking, cycling, and horse riding. The famous Long Barrows of East and West Kennett are on the village’s outskirts, with the UNESCO World Heritage site of Avebury and Silbury Hill nearby. The market towns of Marlborough and Devizes are easily accessible, providing a wide range of everyday amenities. The area offers excellent local schooling, with a primary school in the village, St John’s secondary school in Marlborough, Marlborough College, and St Francis Preparatory in Pewsey. Major commercial hubs such as Swindon, Salisbury, and Newbury are all within a short drive.
