Description

Offering space and seclusion is this detached family home, nestled within delightful countryside on a peaceful cul de sac a couple of miles north of Marlow town centre. The house setting feels very private, tucked away amongst well established gardens of about an acre, yet there is a network of footpaths accessible from the doorstep and plenty of country pubs and amenities a short drive away.

The home was built in 1987 and is bright and modern, with neutral interiors to make personalisation easy and contemporary bathrooms and kitchen making it ready to move into. Character details are provided by parquet flooring, exposed beams and a brick inglenook fireplace. Over the double garage there is a studio room which offers scope for an annexe, subject to planning, when partially converting the garage.

The 3200 sq ft of accommodation is arranged over two floors in a versatile and well thought out layout, offering plenty of space for family time or more formal occasions with friends. The bright and welcoming entrance hall leads to a triple aspect sitting room, separate dining room, family room and the good size kitchen, which has an attached breakfast room and utility room. On the ground floor there s also a fully fitted study great for working from home and a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs there s a principal bedroom with en suite, a further en suite guest bedroom, three additional double rooms and a family bathroom.

Detached from the house is a double garage with first floor room, ideal for use as a home office or hobbies space.

Whilst the home is already of a great size, neighbouring properties have undergone enlargement and therefore it may be that a buyer consider options for expansion on this home too.

The house is nestled within an attractive plot of an acre, at the back of the cul de sac with gardens bordered by mature trees making it feel very private. A gated entrance opens to a well proportioned driveway with plenty of parking. The enclosed gardens are mostly lawned and there is a paved terrace at the back of the house which is slightly elevated, overlooking the garden and the woodland beyond.
