DESCRIPTION
Willowbank is a detached family home set in the heart of the popular village of Manton, offering generously proportioned and flexible living accommodation with a large rear garden.
The downstairs accommodation has a great sense of flow throughout with the kitchen/breakfast room having views and doors opening out to the rear garden, Bi-fold doors connect the kitchen/breakfast room to main reception room and once opened create a wonderful open plan space ideal for entertaining or large family gatherings. The main reception room floods with natural light due to the lantern lights and doors opening out to the rear garden. There is a study/snug to the front of the property and a downstairs double bedroom with ensuite, ideal for older relatives or for when guests come to stay. A second bathroom completes the downstairs accommodation.
Upstairs there are three further double bedrooms with the main bedroom having the added benefit of its own balcony with elevated views across the rear garden and water meadow beyond. The three upstairs bedrooms are served by the well-appointed family shower room.
OUTSIDE
To the front of the property is gravelled driveway parking for several vehicles, access to the detached garage and a small front garden laid to lawn with mature shrub, hedge and flower borders. The real gem of the property is the rear garden which has been lovingly attended to by the current owners. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with an area of patio for sitting out. There is array of flower and hedge borders and specimen trees. A timber-built outbuilding with power, which is fully insulated, makes for an ideal studio or could be utilised as a home office.
SITUATION
Manton is on the southern banks of the River Kennet approximately 1 mile from Marlborough. The walk into Marlborough is about 10 minutes via a lane and footpath which follows the river. Village amenities include an excellent primary school, a toddler group, a church and a public house. There is also a recently renovated recreational ground in Manton with a playground/adventure course which runs down to the river. Marlborough is a thriving market town with excellent shopping including Waitrose and Tesco's, as well as restaurants including Rick Stein, ASK and Caffé Nero in addition to the shopping precincts Hilliers Yard (near Waitrose) and Hughenden Yard (between Boots and W H Smith). The leisure centre and golf club and tennis club provide excellent sporting facilities. Although self-sufficient, the town is well placed for other centres including Swindon, Bath, Hungerford and Newbury and is surrounded by the most attractive countryside of the Marlborough Downs, Pewsey Vale and Kennet Valley. Intercity (Paddington in 50 minutes from Hungerford or Swindon) rail and M4 connections make London easily accessible.
