Description

Marsworth Wharf is a small development of 13 houses set in a conservation area on a triangular site at the junction of the Grand Union Canal and the Aylesbury Arm. The house takes full advantage of the canal side context, with views to the front over attractive communal gardens to both canal arms and to the rear over garden, paddock and fields beyond.
The accommodation has been designed with a modern pared back aesthetic, with extensive glazing maximising the benefit of the waterside location and allowing light to flood in to the rooms.

The ground floor has an open plan design with an offset entrance giving access to the oak faced staircase and guest cloakroom and then leading into a large living space with engineered oak flooring and a substantial storage cupboard. Large patio doors frame the view of the small but private garden. The kitchen has integrated Bosch appliances with ceramic hob, double oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washer dryer and quartz work surfaces and ceramic tiled floor.

The first floor landing has double doors to a storage cupboard which also houses the Vaillant LPG boiler. The main bedroom has patio doors leading to a balcony with glazed balustrade ideal for enjoying morning sun. A small dressing area with fitted cupboards leads through to the en suite bathroom with Villeroy and Boch tiling and sanitary ware. The second bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes and views to rear over paddock and fields. The third bedroom has fitted wardrobes and desk, useful as either a home work station or dressing table. The family bathroom also has Villeroy and Boch tiles and sanitary ware.

The rear garden has been landscaped with low maintenance Indian sandstone paving and the high hedges give a good degree of privacy in which to enjoy the afternoon sunshine.

To the front there is a driveway with parking for two cars, an electric car charger and a storage cupboard by the front door. There is also a bike/bin store located away from the house. A refurbished crane, a relic of the developments history as a British Waterways depot sits within the communal garden area, a private space for the residents to use for social gatherings or simply to sit next to the canal to enjoy the ambience.

The location of the development is great for those who wish to walk the canal towpaths or the footpaths that lead from them, or to use the village recreation ground with it's children's play area, which is just over the canal bridge.

The property has the benefit of an NHBC warranty that expires in November 2026. The exterior of all the houses were repainted in 2024.
