DESCRIPTION
Opportunities like this are increasingly difficult to find. Positioned at the very end of an attractive private road lined with individual, high-quality homes, this generous building plot offers the chance to build an impressive detached family home in one of Marlborough's most desirable residential locations. The approved plans have been thoughtfully designed to maximise both the setting and the lifestyle on offer, creating a home that feels equally suited to modern family life and relaxed entertaining.
The proposed accommodation centres around a welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom, leading through to a spacious living room with double doors opening into a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area. Designed to make the most of the garden, bi-fold doors provide a seamless connection between inside and out, while a separate utility room with its own external access adds valuable practicality to everyday living.
The first floor has been carefully planned to provide four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with its own en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms, a comfortable fourth bedroom and a contemporary family bathroom create flexible accommodation that will appeal to growing families, professionals working from home or those looking for space to adapt as life evolves.

OUTSIDE
Outside, the proposed design incorporates driveway parking to the front and a mature, private rear garden enjoying a wonderful outlook across open countryside towards Mildenhall. Footpaths nearby provide a pleasant walk into Marlborough's bustling High Street, where independent shops, cafés and restaurants await. This is a genuine chance to create a bespoke home in an enviable setting, combining countryside tranquillity with exceptional everyday convenience.

Marlborough is a historic market town and provides a range of shopping and leisure facilities including a twice weekly market. The area is well served with excellent schools including St John's Academy, Marlborough College, Dauntsey's, and St. Francis. There are main line stations to London Paddington and the Southwest at Pewsey, Great Bedwyn (both about 5 miles away) and Hungerford (about 10 miles away). The major commercial centres of Swindon, Andover, and Newbury plus the M4, A303, and M3 are within easy reach. The countryside surrounding the town is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and includes the nearby Savernake Forest and the National Cycle Path.
