Accommodation Summary:
Ground Floor:
With relatively modern and contemporary interiors, one is struck by the contrast with the exterior to 1 Hallam Cottages. A large kitchen offers ample space to dine, alongside a range of fitted units. There is also access to a downstairs WC with shower. The light filled sitting room leads off the spacious entrance hallway and features log burner and double doors to the rear patio and garden.
First Floor:
There are 3 well-appointed bedrooms to the first floor, each presented in good condition and all with built-in storage. The generous main bathroom benefits from a bath with shower over and heated towel rail.
Outside:
1 Hallam Cottages occupies an elevated position with several steps up to the main entrance. Parking for 2 vehicles is provided for by the lay-by at the front. There’s a pretty and relatively low maintenance garden which can also be accessed from the side. Mainly laid to lawn, but with excellent privacy from neighbours due to mature shrub borders. The patio to the rear of the house provides a great spot for al-fresco dining or unwinding after a hard day.
Subject to the necessary consents, it may be possible to extend further to create a more substantial dwelling here.
Location:
Hallam is part of the village of Ogbourne St.George and is situated on the beautiful Marlborough Downs. The national cycle network running along the old railway line makes getting into Marlborough on foot or by bike very convenient and numerous footpaths and by-ways can be found within moments of the front door, with some stunning scenery, including the Ridgeway National Trail. The adjacent village of Ogbourne St. Andrew boasts a community owned pub, The Silks on The Downs, serving delicious food and drink and with a busy calendar of community events.
The village is approximately 2 miles north of the ever-popular historic market town of Marlborough and it is difficult to think of many things that Marlborough High Street lacks. Along with being the second widest high street in the UK, it is host to a fantastic range of shops, cafes, restaurants, and public houses which sit side by side with larger national chains, such as Waitrose. The area is steeped in history and legend has it that the Arthurian sorcerer Merlin is buried there.
There is a variety of excellent schooling available at all levels, with both pre and primary schools available at Ogbourne St. George, and secondary provision at the highly regarded St. John’s Academy Marlborough and the world-famous Marlborough College is also within easy reach. The surrounding countryside also is a huge draw to the area, with country walks, bike rides and other outdoor pursuits all readily available. The Marlborough Downs, Savernake Forest, The West Woods, Avebury stone circle, Barbury Castle and many other beauty spots are within easy reach. For transport, the M4 is easily accessible at Junction 15. The railway stations at Swindon, Pewsey and Great Bedwyn offer direct services into London Paddington with the fastest taking under 1hr.
