No onward chain. A very interesting and individual Grade II Listed family home situated in this attractive High Street in this popular market town, providing ample accommodation, a large garden of 1/3rd acre, off-street parking and with valuable Commoners' Rights.

Description:
100 High Street has been in the same family (now six generations) since it became the residence for Macklin's Dairy, est 1884, by the current owner's great grandfather. A unique property, it is one of very few houses on the High Street to have a private gated vehicular access, leading to a garage. In addition, it has the unique benefit of an
extensive garden to the rear of 1/3rd acre. The house offers 2605 ft.² of accommodation and is arranged so that the ground floor offers three reception rooms, a middle hallway/additional kitchen space, with the main kitchen behind overlooking the garden. The first floor is accessed
via a curving Georgian staircase to three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC. Stairs lead to the attic where there are two further bedrooms. Another feature of this historic property is a large loft/studio which is double aspect and offers a light-filled, space which could
be used in a variety of different ways. The accommodation is completed by a usefully large, vented and dry cellar.

Common Rights:
No. 100 is one of 99 houses on the High Street granted a Common right by John O'Gaunt in circa 1365. The owner of the house is a Commoner and entitled to 'fish, graze, shoot and collect watercress'. In addition, they can seek election to the ancient offices of the Town & Manor and
participate in Hocktide – a unique medieval festival that has not survived anywhere else in England. The Town & Manor of Hungerford is a Registered Charity that manages 420 acres of land, rivers and marshes for the benefit of the inhabitants of Hungerford. It has elected a Constable since 1485. The 220-acre Common is only 0.4 miles walk from the house, as is Freeman's Marsh. The Kennet and Avon canal
is 0.2 miles, such that the use of a car can be minimised. For more information about the Town & Manor visit their website.

Outside:
To one side of the property there are double gates in an archway which provides vehicular access to the rear. Beyond the gates there is an area for parking and access to a single garage. The garden extends away from the property at the rear and rises, from where there are lovely views over the surrounding rooftops of Hungerford. The garden is all grassed and contains variety of shrubs and plants and is 0.32 acre in total.
