Stone’s throw from Marlborough High Street, full of character and chain free.
Grade II listed Tudor cottage built 1653, full of original features
A rare Grade II Tudor cottage tucked a stone’s throw from Marlborough High Street, offered chain free. The three-storey layout delivers a vaulted main bedroom with exposed beams, a cosy sitting room with open fireplace and space for dining, plus a well-appointed fitted kitchen with limestone floor and underfloor heating.
The house is full of original character — timber framing, exposed brick and low ceilings in parts — which will appeal to buyers who value period charm. Practical features include gas central heating from a combi boiler, an efficient fitted kitchen with appliances and an upstairs bathroom with shower. Unrestricted on-street parking is available nearby; council-managed private parking is chargeable.
Buyers should note the property’s constraints: Grade II listing means alterations will be restricted and may require consent. The front windows need refurbishment (estimated cost £3,000 + VAT) and there is some minor maintenance required. The accommodation is compact (circa 810 sq ft) with no private garden, only a small shared rear courtyard.
This property suits a buyer seeking a characterful town-centre home or an owner-occupier who appreciates historic fabric and is willing to manage listed-building considerations and modest repair works. Immediate vacant possession and proximity to shops, schools and good broadband make it a practical, characterful purchase in a very affluent area.
