A compact ground-floor studio in the heart of Marlborough, set within a well-maintained Grade II listed Georgian terrace. The flat offers an open living/sleeping space, a tidy fitted kitchen, shower room and alcove storage — a straightforward, low-maintenance home for single occupancy or a buy-to-let purchase. A dedicated off-street parking space and a shared courtyard garden are rare conveniences for central town living.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building, which can restrict alterations and add complexity to maintenance. The property uses electric room heaters rather than a central system and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack modern insulation — both factors to bear in mind for ongoing energy costs. The flat was reported as having flooded in 2024; prospective purchasers should confirm cause, extent and any remedial work and insurance implications.
Practical positives include a very long lease (effectively 999 years), a modest annual service charge (£477) that includes ground rent, excellent mobile signal and reasonable broadband (c.76/15 Mbps). With nearby shops, restaurants and good road/rail links, the flat suits a first-time buyer seeking a town-centre base or an investor targeting steady local rental demand, provided the listed status and flood history are acceptable to them.
Overall, this studio is an affordable, central Marlborough opportunity with clear benefits (parking, garden access, long lease) and transparent drawbacks (listed restrictions, previous flooding, electric heating and likely limited insulation). A viewing and independent checks are recommended to assess suitability and running costs.
