Location

Harleyford is a highly regarded country and golfing estate with the centrepiece being a handsome Grade-I listed Georgian Manor House designed by Sir Robert Taylor in the late 1740s. The River Thames adjoins the estate giving residents and members access to the Thames Path, with Marlow town centre being a pleasant mile-and-a-half stroll along the riverbank.

The estate itself ideally blends rural idyll with near-town convenience, providing a perfect leisure lifestyle with the dining and entertainment facilities at Marlow being on the doorstep. The Donald Steele designed 18-hole golf course at Harleyford is well designed being challenging yet highly enjoyable, the course winding through the landscaped estate. The club house provides dining and bar facilities.   

Being situated in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a registered English Heritage site, the estate is naturally pretty and well maintained.

Description

Situated on the exclusive Harleyford gated development, within close proximity of the estate’s amenities, this detached log cabin is the ideal ‘lock up and leave’ holiday home. The property is quietly situated in an elevated leafy setting amongst the trees and communal gardens, with gorgeous views over the Thames Valley. The estate provides 24-hour security and is accessed via a private gated entrance. Internally the house is well presented in a modern, Scandinavian-influenced style, with light and airy rooms and a modern finish throughout.

The lodge is entered into a hallway with a study area; this leads to the two good-size double bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which has an en suite shower room. There is also a bathroom with a P-shaped bath. Upstairs, the impressive good-size living area has a high, vaulted ceiling and opens through a high glazed gable end, to the rear balcony looking towards the Thames Valley. The living area is open plan to the kitchen which is well equipped with plenty of storage and a number of built-in appliances.

The house has access to the extensive 160-acre grounds of the estate, parts of which can be attributed to the 18th-century landscape designer Capability Brown. The estate sits between the Temple and Hurley locks on the river Thames, with excellent walks along the riverbanks and through the estate’s own marina. The house has two allocated parking spaces and there are additional visitor spaces nearby. A private terrace and a first-floor balcony provide space for outdoor dining and offer beautiful views over the river.
Please note the property has to remain vacant over the month of February.
