All the kitchen appliances are integrated, including oven, hob and dishwasher. Upstairs there are two large double bedrooms, each with ample built - in cupboards. The upstairs bathroom, at present with a walk-in shower, has plenty of scope to add a bath if required. There are interior designed ‘Pooky’ brass pendant lights and lampshades throughout.

This grade II listed property, built out of Bath limestone, is a wonderful example of symmetrical Georgian architecture with sash windows throughout. It is ideal as a downsize, side move or ‘lock up and leave’, with wonderful Cognatum staff on site 24/7. At its centre, St Luke’s has an impressive Grade II building with an interesting history. Built in a cruciform pattern in Bath stone in 1837 as a workhouse for 180 inmates, it became a children’s hospital and then a school, before its final transformation into luxury accommodation. There are other cottages of complementary architecture, together forming four individual garden squares, each with a different theme, including one a herb garden. St Luke’s overlooks the Marlborough Downs and is just a short walk from the centre of the town. The vibrant market town of Marlborough is a place of enormous provincial charm, known for its broad high street of timber-framed buildings and Georgian architecture, which testify to the prosperity it has enjoyed over the centuries. The town has an excellent array of shops, with high-street brands, designer boutiques and antique shops in abundance, and many excellent pubs and restaurants. There is also a twice-weekly market and a monthly farmers’ market. Close by is the ancient Savernake Forest, one of the largest and oldest forests in England, which offers wonderful walks and glorious scenery.
