4 bed town house for sale

Barn Street, Marlborough SN8

Originally three charming cottages, this beautiful Georgian townhouse has been thoughtfully combined to create a unique and characterful family home, rich in period features. Exposed beams and timbers, original brickwork, open fireplaces and elegant proportions blend seamlessly with modern comforts, creating a home full of warmth and charm.

Stepping through the front door, you are welcomed into a practical entrance vestibule, ideal for coats and boots, before entering the spacious reception hall. A striking central fireplace, exposed beams and natural stone tiled flooring immediately set the tone, with the flooring continuing into the adjoining sitting room.

The dual-aspect sitting room is a wonderfully inviting space, featuring exposed brickwork, character beams and a beautiful period fireplace. Secondary glazed windows provide a peaceful atmosphere, while a door opens directly onto the delightful rear garden.

Opposite the hall, a traditional stable door leads into the recently refurbished kitchen/dining room, undoubtedly the heart of the home and perfect for entertaining. The impressive Aga takes centre stage, complemented by ample storage, exposed black beams, tiled flooring and dual-aspect secondary glazed windows, making this a surprisingly quiet and relaxing room despite its central location.

Leading from the kitchen is a generous utility room with further storage, a sink, space for appliances and the boiler, together with direct access to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a spacious family bathroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath.

The first floor offers a large landing, currently arranged as a study area, alongside two generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an entire wall of fitted wardrobes and enjoys views towards St Mary's Church. Both bedrooms are served by a well-appointed shower room.

A further hallway leads to a walk-in wardrobe and staircase rising to the third double bedroom, a delightful room with exposed beams and elevated views towards the Church.

The fourth bedroom is accessed via a separate staircase, offering a wonderful degree of privacy. Approached through a spacious dressing room with original beams and secondary glazed windows, this charming room is full of character, featuring built-in cupboards that reveal sections of the original brickwork, along with extensive fitted storage.

The enclosed rear garden is a delightful and private space, enclosed by traditional walls and thoughtfully landscaped to provide a generous patio, an elevated terrace for outdoor dining and a level lawn bordered by mature planting and hedging. From the garden there are attractive views across Marlborough's historic rooftops and surrounding buildings.

A brick-built outbuilding, formerly the original outside lavatories serving the three cottages, now provides excellent additional storage while retaining a fascinating piece of the property's history. Gated pedestrian access leads to the rear, while secure off-street parking is available behind the gated entrance serving numbers 9-11 Barn Street, an invaluable feature in such a central location.
