Forge Lane, West Overton, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8

Description

1 Forge Lane is a deceptively spacious three/four bedroom semi-detached period house located in the heart of West Overton.

From the front garden, there is a small, covered porch and door leading to an inner hallway, off which the sitting room is accessed. The sitting room, centred around the open fireplace, has a cosy feel to it and overlooks the front garden.

The kitchen/dining/family room, with beautifully high ceilings, is such an impressive space and the ideal place to cook and entertain. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of floor and wall mounted units and leads through to the handy utility in the rear hall.

This house enjoys great flexibility to the space and has been cleverly extended over the years. The fourth bedroom it located at the rear of the house, but would make a perfect home office or studio depending on needs. This bedroom is served by the well-appointed shower room.

Stairs lead to the first floor where there are three bedrooms (two doubles and one single), all of which are served by the family bathroom.

Importantly, the village of West Overton lies in catchment for St John's Academy in Marlborough.

Outside

The house is approached via the lane with a path leading through the front garden to the property. Parking is currently on the lane but there is the possibility (as the neighbouring house has done and subject to planning) to create off-street parking at the front of the house.

The good-sized rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a good variety of trees and shrubs. A paved terrace is accessed off the kitchen offering an ideal spot to sit and relax during the summer months. A greenhouse and garden shed are located at the rear of the garden.

The popular market town of Marlborough is approximately 4 miles to the east offering a good range of shops, coffee shops and restaurants, a sports centre and secondary schools including St John's, Marlborough College, St Mary's Calne and Pinewood School.

Pewsey is approximately 6 miles away providing a fast rail links to London Paddington (c1 hour). The M4 motorway is also within easy reach. Open countryside rises up on either side of the village providing ideal walking, riding and mountain biking and there is fly fishing available on the River Kennet and golf courses at Marlborough, Calne and Ogbourne St. George.
