5 bed detached house to rent

Hughes Close, Marlborough SN8

McFarlanes are delighted to present this spacious family home, nestled in an established, mature estate and built in the mid-1980s. With its classic brick construction under a tiled roof, the property is fully double-glazed and tastefully decorated throughout.

Upon entering, the ground floor greets you with hardwood flooring and a thoughtfully designed layout. The heart of the home is the expansive, open-plan kitchen, centered around a large island complete with a breakfast bar and integrated boiling water tap. The kitchen boasts contemporary units, quartz worktops, and a full complement of wall and base cabinets, enhanced by floor-level mood lighting. A standout feature is the smeg range cooker, equipped with a 7-burner gas hob and BBQ plate. Off the kitchen, the utility room provides practical space with an integrated dishwasher and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, along with side access to a patio area.

The kitchen seamlessly extends into a spacious conservatory, filled with natural light from two sets of French doors that open onto the south-facing garden. Offering both comfort and ambiance, the conservatory serves as a perfect retreat. The double-aspect sitting room is equally inviting, featuring French doors to the decked terrace and a large bay window. A recently installed log burner adds a cozy, welcoming touch. The ground floor also includes a formal dining room, a versatile reception room currently used as a playroom, and a downstairs cloakroom.

Upstairs, the first floor accommodates four double bedrooms, all featuring fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom has been recently updated and includes a shower over the bath. One of the bedrooms benefits from an en-suite with a wall-to-wall shower. A second staircase leads to the top floor, where the master bedroom spans the length of the property and includes an en-suite shower room.

Outside

To the front of the property, there is a neat lawn area with steps leading to the front door. A driveway on the right provides ample parking and access to the rear garden. The former double garage has been converted into a versatile games room/study, featuring hardwood flooring, two large windows, electric storage heaters, and a spacious boarded loft. It has Wi-Fi available through a network and includes a Tesla Powerwall connected to the solar panels.

The rear garden, fully enclosed for privacy, is designed for low maintenance and offers two large raised decking areas, perfect for entertaining. There are paved pathways, a bike shed for up to five bicycles, and a garden shed. The garden also features practical astro turf, a children's playhouse with rubber chip flooring for safety, and a vegetable patch for gardening enthusiasts.
