The location
Blowhorn Street is located just off St Martins, within a short walk of the centre
of Marlborough. Marlborough is an historic thriving market town reputedly with
the widest High Street in Europe. It combines a classic period charm with a
broad selection of amenities. National retailers including Waitrose supermarket,
highly acclaimed St John's Comprehensive school and Marlborough College
Private School. A number of quality clothing outfitters and restaurants include
Coles, Godots, ASK, Costa Coffee and Pizza Express. There is an excellent
leisure centre. Communications with the surrounding area are excellent with
good road access to Swindon 12 miles, Newbury 17 miles, Hungerford 9 miles
and Salisbury 22 miles. Junction 15 (M4) is 9 miles and Pewsey, Great Bedwyn
and Swindon stations link with London Paddington - about 1 hour.
The property
Built in the last year of Victoria's reign 10 Blowhorn Street showcases a great
number of lovely original features including plaster mouldings, tiled floors and
fireplaces. The best way to get a feel for a property is to have a wander over and
we will start at the front gate.
Walking through the original wrought iron gate(with shoe scraper) up the garden
path through a well stocked front garden, side gate leading to the rear garden,
step up into the recessed porch with original Victorian terrazzo, through the
front door into the entrance hall. Staircase rises to the first floor landing with
useful storage cupboard under, original plaster mouldings and a lovely Amtico
tiled floor.
Continued
First door on the right into the drawing room with bay window to the front,
attractive open fireplace and recessed cupboards for storage, tv etc. Back into the
hall and next right into the dining room. This has a window to the rear and
glazed double doors into the sitting room, ideal if you are having a party and
wish to open the two rooms up. Next along is the downstairs cloakroom with
toilet and wash basin plus cupboard containing the boiler. At the end of the hall
we walk into the kitchen/breakfast room designed as a main working area and
larger breakfast area. The first section has the sink, plumbing for a dishwasher,
storage cupboards, stepping up into the breakfast area we have coordinating
storage cupboards with worksurfaces over and recess for the fridge freezer.
Space for cooker with extractor hood over, window and double doors out into
the garden and door right into the utility room. This is ideal for not only those
vital washing machines and tumble dryers but dog beds, coats, shoes and general
family detritus. Window to the front and side and patio doors to the rear.
Upstairs
Onto the landing, straight ahead into the main bedroom which overlooks the rear
garden. Next is the recently refitted family bathroom, corner bath with overhead
and hand held separate shower over. Toilet, wash basin with mixer tap, range of
fitted storage cupboards and airing cupboard, heated towel rail and designer wall
mirror with integrated lighting. A separate cloakroom is next again with sink and
toilet, ideal for the growing family! Two further double bedrooms on this floor
with the first floor study or fifth bedroom at the end. Up the staircase onto the
second floor landing and into the guest/second bedroom, again a double
bedroom with large velux window to the rear, access to loft storage and door to
an ensuite shower room. That is inside, back down to the kitchen and out into
the garden.
Rear garden
Extending to over 70' to the rear, west facing enjoying a lovely sunny aspect,
this garden is ideal for entertaining, relaxing at the end of the day or just playing
with the kids. Good sized paved patio area, path leading around to the front with
a useful storage area for all the various bins we collect today. Path down the
edge of the garden around a small nature pond, under a rose arbour into the
vegetable garden with soft fruits. All enclosed with mature trees and shrubs
affording a good level of privacy. Gated access to the rear leading to the parking
and garage.

an oversized single garage with power, light and a door to the side.
