Property description

Situation
Marlborough is a vibrant market town with the high street enjoying the mantle of ‘the widest high street in England’. Recently ranked second best shopping destination in the UK, the town offers a mix of major retailers, independent boutiques, coffee and tea shops. National retailors include Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets, and the wide range of restaurants includes Dan’s, Pino’s, Rick Stein’s, Franklyn’s Bistro and Ask. There are further shopping areas in Hillier’s Yard and Hughenden Yard, as well as a newly opened cinema at The Parade. The leisure centre and golf club provide excellent sporting facilities and there are thriving tennis, cricket, running and rugby clubs in town. The town features an annual literary festival, as well as the popular Marlborough College summer school. Although self-sufficient, the town is well placed for other towns including Swindon, Bath, Hungerford and Newbury, and is surrounded by the attractive countryside of the Marlborough Downs, Pewsey Vale and Kennet Valley. Intercity (Paddington) rail and M4 connections are at both Pewsey, Great Bedwyn, Swindon and Hungerford.
Description

A well-presented semi-detached Edwardian house in the heart of Marlborough, 15 George Lane benefits from a south-facing garden and off-road parking. On entering the property through a welcoming hallway, there is a formal reception room featuring a wood-burning stove, high ceilings and large bay window bringing in plenty of light. Moving through to the centre of the house, there is an impressive dining room with original wood-varnished floor and sash window. The house extends to include a utility area with a cloakroom and ample storage, before opening out into a well-appointed kitchen/diner. Very much the main living space, the kitchen is open and light, featuring a vaulted ceiling and two sets of double doors leading to the garden; there is plenty of space for dining and relaxing. Upstairs to the first floor, there is a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room and two further bedrooms, as well as a family bathroom with underfloor heating. On the recently converted second floor, there is a fourth bedroom and a study/dressing room (with flexibility to be a fifth bedroom), supported by a built-in cupboard and contemporary shower room. With large windows flooding the rooms with natural light, this floor benefits from views of Cooper’s Meadow and the town on one side, and the garden and beyond on the other. There is potential for further extension if required.
Outside

To the front of the house is a recently created parking area and steps up from the pavement. To the side, a gate leads through to the rear south-facing garden. From here, you enter a large paved entertaining area, leading on to the garden. The boundary is demarked by brick and close board timber fencing. Just five minutes’ walk to the high street, the house benefits from multiple green spaces nearby, including Cooper’s Meadow with children’s play area and the Priory Gardens. Surrounding countryside includes Savernake Forest, West Woods and Marlborough Downs.
Schools

The area is well served with excellent schools, including Preshute Primary, St John’s Academy, Marlborough College, St Francis and Dauntsey’s.
