On the outside, this property may look ordinary but on the inside the story is very different!
Meticulously updated by its current owners, you find yourself in a large and modern, open-plan sitting room/dining room with zonal lighting and wooden floors. Large windows allow light to spill in throughout the day. Lit in four sections, the sitting room is at the front with views over the front garden and across to the hills beyond. The central section has a wall-mounted wood burning stove creating a real focal point, and at the rear is the large dining area with French windows leading out to the garden. Around the corner from the dining room, the kitchen sits across the back of the property overlooking the garden, and has a range of fitted cupboards, tiled flooring with space for a range cooker, a large fridge freezer, and a further door out to the garden.
There is oak flooring throughout the living accommodation which has been beautifully coordinated with the oak wooden doors.
Downstairs there are two bedrooms, one double to the front of the property and a single at the side, serviced by a modern bathroom with rainfall shower over and there is a second guest WC next door.
The original bungalow has been extended upwards to create a very large main bedroom with eaves storage. This room has the bedroom area one end and a large dressing area at the other. (There is the potential for an ensuite bathroom subject to relevant consents).
The rear garden has been recently redesigned and landscaped to include a large terrace with attractive non-slip porcelain tiles that reflect the natural light. The lawn area has been edged with Spanish hard-wood sleepers and a few steps lead up from the terrace to the grass, which is a great space from which to enjoy both morning and evening sunshine. The garden also has side access.
A great bonus is the recent re-purposing of the garage to create a large utility room at the front and an office behind, enjoying views over the garden.
The property has a long driveway for a number of cars and a front lawn area with a pretty Weeping Silver Birch tree and mature shrubs.

Location: Manton is a popular village just outside Marlborough, but within walking distance of the town's amenities. The village has its own church, an 'outstanding' primary school and well-regarded pub, The Oddfellows.
The village sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the river Kennet running through. There is a lovely walk from the village, along the river, to the centre of Marlborough, which is noted for its wide High Street and excellent schooling, including St John's Academy and Marlborough College. This market town has excellent shopping facilities together with a twice weekly market, numerous cafes, restaurants and pubs. There is a cinema, leisure centre, golf club, two swimming pools and a wide range of clubs and societies.
The town is well located within easy motoring distance of Swindon, Salisbury and Newbury. The M4 Motorway (J15) provides road access to London, Bristol, and the West Country; rail links can be found in Swindon or the nearby villages of Pewsey and Great Bedwyn each offering services to London Paddington (65 mins).

After approx 3 miles, take the left hand turn signed to Clatford, then left at the T Junction. As you come into the village of Manton take the first turning on the right into West Manton and the property will be found on the left hand side.
