Living in Marlborough
In estate agent speak, "highly desirable" is the phrase that springs immediately to mind, because for many people, living in Marlborough offers the best of all possible worlds.Marlborough (population 8,009, 2001 census) is situated in Wiltshire - one of England’s most sparsely populated counties. But we’re not talking splendid isolation here – far from it! Marlborough is a very acceptable place to live, no matter whether it's your main home, or second home and for any and every age group.
Although Marlborough doesn’t have a railway station, it’s only a 1 hr 10min journey to London Paddington from Pewsey station (a 15-minute drive from Marlborough) and London is just over an hour away if you take the train from Swindon, which is a 25-minute drive from town. Trains to Paddington from Great Bedwyn station - 20 minutes away by car - take around 1 hr 15 mins.
Marlborough's estate agents can offer home seekers a rich variety of properties - from red brick terraces, riverside retirement developments, large and detached Victorian properties, modern homes to charming thatched cottages, although purpose built flats are thin on the ground.
