West Manton, Manton, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8

Description

Located in the popular village of Manton, 9 West Manton is a spacious three bedroom detached bungalow enjoying privacy, space, and an abundance of natural light. At 1356 square feet (including the garage), there are generous proportions throughout and as with many single storey dwellings, there is great flexibility of space.

A welcoming entrance hall leads to all principal rooms and the whole property enjoys a good flow to the accommodation. The heart of the home is the bright and spacious kitchen/dining room, thoughtfully designed with plentiful storage, integrated appliances and space for a large dining table. With views out over the garden this room is perfect for entertaining and also links through to the adjoining garage, which has been partially converted into a utility area.

The sitting room is a cosy yet light-filled room, with French doors opening onto a terrace that overlooks the garden - ideal for relaxing or hosting guests. There is a useful study which is ideal for those working from home. This room could also be used as a smaller, kids bedroom, should there be the need.

The three bedrooms are all accessed off the central hallway, including a generous principal bedroom with en-suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms, both of which are served by the well-appointed family bathroom.

The property offers scope for extension, subject to obtaining the necessary consents, like many have already done on the road.

Outside

The property has off-street parking for numerous cars and also benefits from an integral garage. The property is set back from the road with an area of garden to the front and access around the side of the house to the substantial rear garden.

The rear garden enjoys great privacy and is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature shrubs. A paved terrace is located off the sitting room, with a further paved area at the bottom of the garden perfectly positioned to pick up the afternoon sun and a great place for outdoor entertaining.

The property features 16 solar panels, offering energy efficiency, reduced electricity bills by approximately £2500, and a lower carbon footprint.

Situation

Manton is on the southern banks of the River Kennet approximately 1 mile from Marlborough. The walk into Marlborough is about 15 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.
