Set right on Marlborough’s High Street, this Grade II listed three-bedroom terraced cottage combines period charm with practical living across three floors. Exposed beams, sash-window character and a mix of modern fittings create a comfortable family home while keeping the town’s vibrant shops, cafes and weekly market on your doorstep. The property is large for its type (about 1,457 sqft) and benefits from a long, planted cottage garden with a sun terrace and a separate modern studio at the far end.
Internally the layout suits flexible family life: an entrance reception/dining room and cloakroom lead to a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room with a Rayburn, island and integrated appliances. A winding stair rises to a living room with a gas-effect fire and a double bedroom with en‑suite overlooking St Peter’s Church; two further bedrooms and the main bathroom occupy the top floor. The studio has a small non‑mains kitchenette and space for a shower — useful as a home office, hobby room or potential annexe, but it is not currently a fully serviced separate dwelling.
Important practical points are stated plainly. The house is Grade II listed — alterations will be constrained and may require listed‑building consent. There is no parking with the property and a neighbour’s right of access across the rear pathway affects the garden. The energy rating is E and heating is primarily electric underfloor systems (with a Rayburn and gas‑effect fire noted), so running costs and heating arrangements should be checked. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average for the town.
For buyers who value central location, character and outside space in Marlborough, this property offers a rare combination: town living with a substantial garden and adaptable studio. It will suit a family or professional couple who want immediate access to schools, shops and transport links, and who are comfortable managing the responsibilities of a listed home and the practicalities of no parking.
