Accommodation Summary:

Ground Floor:
The grand Edwardian proportions are immediately apparent from the moment one steps over the threshold at Eagle House. The grand entrance hall provides an excellent space to welcome guest but also a seating area and space to dine. The sitting room to the front is fitted with gas fire with impressive surround and due to the generous double aspect windows is a wonderfully light-filled space. The well-appointed kitchen offers a range of fitted unit and cleverly conceived storage and access to a useful lean-to at the rear of the property. A downstairs WC and large understairs cupboard complete the ground floor.

First Floor:
The main bedroom suite enjoys the best views of the house across The Green, the town and toward Savernake Forest beyond.    The corner aspect and high ceilings of the sitting room are mirrored here and are complimented by a sizeable ensuite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms and shower room complete the first floor.

Second Floor:
The fourth double bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room and has access into the loft storeroom.

Outside:
Eagle House benefits from off-street parking for several vehicles and a delightful garden enclosed by wall and hedging. There's ample space to dine in privacy and the lawned area is faces south so is perfect for sunshine all day.

Location:
It is difficult to think of many amenities that Marlborough lacks. It boasts the second widest high street in the UK, and is host to a fantastic range of shops, cafes, restaurants, and public houses, all within a very short walk of the front door of Eagle House. It is certainly the many independent and boutique business that help Marlborough retain its character and charm. The picturesque historic high street itself provides many interesting and architecturally important buildings. Mentioned in the Domesday book of 1097 as 'Merleberge', Marlborough was later granted market town status in 1204 by King John. There is still a twice weekly market to this day selling everything from fruit and veg to hardware and garden furniture.

There is excellent schooling at all levels locally in both the state and private sectors with secondary provision at St. John's Academy, Dauntsey's and Marlborough College. The surrounding countryside is a huge draw to the area, with country walks, bike rides and other outdoor pursuits all readily available.
