About this property
The Old Barn Marlborough - with games room in Marlborough
From the historic red brick façade, The Old Barn Marlborough stretches before you with spacious open plan living areas. Combining aspects of its 250-year heritage, original sash windows flood the house with light while woodburning stoves provide warmth and a cosy atmosphere.
Rustle up a feast in the expansive kitchen/diner, the hub of the house where you can set the table for ten and host a celebratory meal. At the end of the day the traditional snug in the oldest part of the house is made for slowly sipping after dinner drinks while the fire crackles. Keeping younger guests entertained is a breeze here with table football and a living room waiting for your favourite film or a games tournament on the Wii console. Three modern bathrooms and five generous bedrooms are set across the first floor with the master bedroom sitting at the back of the house beneath an exposed A-frame of beams adorned with sparkling fairy lights, a lovely escape at the end of the day.
Tucked away, the rear garden is a secluded spot. Sitting alongside the black and white exterior you can dine al fresco or make the most of sunny days bringing your book outside to recline beneath the trees. With the delights of Marlborough on your doorstep there is so much to see and do. Take a walk to see the white horse on the hill just outside the town, head to Stonehenge to learn more about this magical ancient site or discover the North Wessex Downs AONB which surrounds Marlborough.
Ground Floor
Living Room
Becoming a place for the children to make their own, films can be watched and games can be played. With a day bed this room doubles as an extra bedroom and there is a woodburning stove to keep any evening chills at bay.
Games Room
Hours will be spent playing family football tournaments, a great way to decide who in your group will be left with the washing up after dinner. The decorative fireplace is a charming feature in this room.
Dining Room
Filled with light, this room seats ten at the dining table where toasts will be raised and memories made on special occasions. Turn on the surrounding fairly lights to add a touch of sparkle to your meal.
Kitchen
While the chef prepares dinner, drinks can be served at the breakfast bar which seats three. Plenty of space is available for storing your supplies with a large pantry cupboard and the sleek traditional style sits nicely alongside the feature fireplace and exposed beams above.
Snug
Once the scullery, the snug still features the original old-style washing machine and bread oven. The glass covered well is a talking point and the woodburning stove sits amidst a red brick surround.
Shower Room
Through a sliding wooden door the shower room is a wonderful addition when you're getting ready to go out in the evening.
Utility
Tucked away to the side of the shower room, here you will find laundry facilities with a washing machine and tumble dryer.
First Floor
Bedroom Three
Sash windows and a decorative fireplace add character to this double bedroom. With a built-in wardrobe and chest of drawers there is plenty of space to put your belongings away and stash your suitcase.
Bedroom Five
Perfect for children sharing, this room can sleep three guests with two single beds and an additional folding bed. The two single beds can be joined to create a queen bed if required. It has a touch of glamour with a feature wall and decorative fireplace.
Shower Room
The first shower room has been cleverly designed to fit this space with a shower cubicle, WC and sink.
Bedroom Four
Two single beds sit beneath a high ceiling with exposed wooden beams, a wonderful reminder of the history of this Grade II listed building.
Bathroom
The main bathroom is a spacious retreat. Relax with a bubble bath or a refreshing shower in these tranquil surroundings.
Shower Room
The second shower room has a shower cubicle, WC and sink, ideal for guests staying in bedrooms one and two.
Bedroom Two
With a king-size bed you will have a peaceful nights sleep in this quiet room. Lying beneath the beams linger in bed in the morning with a cup of coffee before spending your day exploring.
Bedroom One
At the back of the house bedroom one has a king-size bed and enjoys some extra privacy. The central wooden beam is entwined in fairy lights, and it is a cosy hideaway at the end of the day.
Outdoor
Step through the French doors to the rear terrace, setting the table for al fresco meals. Steps lead you up between the trees to a peaceful spot at the back where you can lounge with the morning paper, coffee and pastries.
