Silverless Street, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8

A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored one-bedroom period cottage in Marlborough’s prestigious Silverless Street. This unique property is perfect as a charming home or a fantastic investment opportunity with proven letting potential, currently as an Airbnb and all just a stone’s throw from the town centre and local countryside walks.

DESCRIPTION
Tucked away on the historic and highly sought-after Silverless Street, one of Marlborough’s most desirable locations, this charming one-bedroom period cottage is a true gem. Dating from the 1600s, it seamlessly blends historic character with modern refinement, having been sympathetically refurbished to a high standard just a year ago. Original wooden floors, exposed beams, and a working open fireplace create warmth and character from the moment you enter.

The cleverly designed layout maximises light and space. The living room includes a unique study, once a gun room during the Cromwellian rebellion of 1649, adding historic intrigue. The compact, well-appointed kitchen offers a practical and stylish cooking space with thoughtful finishes.

Upstairs, a generous double bedroom benefits from natural light through original windows, providing a serene retreat. The shower room, accessed via its own staircase, is efficiently arranged and tastefully updated with contemporary fixtures. Electric central heating ensures year-round comfort, while every corner retains its historic charm.

Although the cottage has no garden, its location more than compensates—The Green is a minute’s walk away, and nearby bridleways and footpaths offer countryside walks. With a successful record as a holiday let, this enchanting property is both a delightful home and an attractive investment opportunity.
