A deceptively spacious and well-presented, four/five bedroom family home set in the desirable village of Manton with idyllic rural views.

Description

32 High Street is a deceptively spacious and immaculately presented four/five bedroom family home, set on the edge of the village with the most glorious views over open fields and the countryside beyond. The property has been completely renovated and extended by the current owners and now offers fantastic and flexible living spaces with a great feeling of space and light.

Upon entering the property you are greeted by a wonderful sight line through the property and towards the garden beyond. The main reception room is dual aspect and centred around a fireplace place with wood burning stove.

The real heart of the home is the fabulous open plan kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is modern and centred around the island with stools around. Accessed from the kitchen is the utility room with door outside, great for muddy boots and paws. There is a space for a dining table and a seating area to one end providing the perfect spot for sitting and enjoying the late afternoon sunshine. Bi-fold doors open out from this room to the terrace and garden beyond, making this the ideal space for entertaining or family gatherings. There are three double bedrooms, a well-appointed family bathroom and a separate W.C. on this floor.

To the lower level is a fantastic studio space which has been utilised over the years as an additional bedroom as it has its own ensuite bathroom and kitchen area. This space could also be used as a home office or as the owners currently use it as, an additional living space. Doors open from this room onto the garden, ideal for when you have guests to come and stay as they can enjoy this space whilst keeping the rest of the home clean and tidy.

The principal bedroom occupies the whole top floor of the home and has a dressing space, its own private balcony and an ensuite bathroom with freestanding bath, twin sinks and shower.

Outside

To the front of the property is gravelled off-street parking for several vehicles and steps lead down to the front door. The rear garden is a wonderful space for families with a large area of lawn providing plenty of space for children to run around or kick a football about. A paved area features an outside bar and an adjoining seating area for when you wish to entertain. There is a fantastic terrace which runs the width of the property, a great space for entertaining or for sitting out an enjoying the sunshine or for alfresco dining and with bi-folds to the kitchen/breakfast room it really brings the outside in. The garden feels secluded whilst also enjoying the most wonderful views across open fields and the countryside beyond. From the bottom of the garden is a path which leads right into the centre of the village, meaning small children can walk safely to the playground. There are an array of walks right from the doorstep, so if dogs are something to be considered, this is a great added benefit.


Situation

Manton is on the southern banks of the River Kennet approximately 1 mile from Marlborough. The walk into Marlborough is about 10 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. Intercity (Paddington in 50 minutes from Hungerford or Swindon) rail and M4 connections make London easily accessible.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

  • You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
  • They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
  • Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.

If you have a property to sell, why not see how we can help you.
