MARK CHICK, MANNINGFORD CROFT It’s been a record-breaking year, and the beautiful rolling countryside of the <strong>Marlborough</strong> Downs and Pewsey Vale continue to tempt a London-based market to a better, simpler existence, with fresh air, green fields and big skies. Our excellent schools, wonderful walking and riding and a friendly, welcoming culture sets Wiltshire apart, yet still within an hour of London, Bath, Salisbury and Oxford. There have been some lovely houses of all shapes and sizes come to the market in recent months, all finding delighted buyers and tenants, ready for a calmer world in <strong>2021</strong>/22. Whilst the Olympics seems set to be an altogether quieter affair this year, Qatar 2022 looks like being hotter than ever before. We expect the property market continue to go from strength to strength, and maybe surpass some of the records set in <strong>2021</strong>. PAUL GREGORY, McFARLANE PROPERTY.COM McFarlane Property.com is thrilled now that lockdown is over to have been able to open the door to our new office in <strong>Marlborough</strong>’s historic High Street. We have waited over fourteen months due to the pandemic to greet <strong>Marlborough</strong>’s community! McFarlane Property is an independent Sales and Lettings business with offices in Cricklade, Swindon’s Old Town, Redhouse Village and now <strong>Marlborough</strong>.
