Kelham Gardens, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8

Description

Occupying one of the largest plots within Kelham Gardens in central Marlborough, 10 Kelham Gardens is an impressive and substantial family house of brick elevations under a tiled roof and relieved by double glazed windows. Despite its central position, Kelham Gardens is a no through road and enjoys a lovely, peaceful location.

At just shy of 2900 square feet, there really is no shortage of space and it offers magnificent accommodation throughout.

On the ground floor, all rooms emanate from the spacious hallway and of particular note is the double aspect sitting room, with bay window to one end and French doors opening onto the garden at the other. This room enjoys wonderful width and proportions and is centred around the Limestone fireplace with woodburning stove.

The kitchen/dining room is a lovely, open space and is fitted with a good range of built in cupboards and overlooks the garden beyond. The conservatory extension offers another useful reception space and leads seamlessly off the dining area.

There is a separate family room to the front of the property (currently used as a study) and a downstairs cloakroom.

The staircase leads to a generous landing off which all rooms are accessed. The main bedroom has a dressing room and ensuite bathroom and there are two further double bedrooms (one with an ensuite shower room) and the well appointed family bathroom on this floor. The current owners have converted one bedroom into a utility / laundry room and this could be easily changed back should there be the need for a sixth bedroom.

On the second floor, there are two further double bedrooms, one with ensuite bathroom, which offers great flexibility for use and makes this an ideal family home.

Outside

The property is approached over a block paved drive with ample parking and a double garage and carport, providing excellent additional storage space. There is side access to the larger than average rear garden which mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs. There is a summer house, pond and also a raised decked sun terrace immediately adjoining the house which provides the ideal spot for outside entertaining.
