Location

Gibraltar Lane is a coveted location, a lovely country lane that runs parallel to the River Thames with a mix of mostly large attractive family homes. The lane is elevated from the riverside and is bordered by National Trust woodland.

Cookham Dean is a quaint village with two popular public houses, with Cookham Rise providing a range of shops for everyday needs.

The train station in Cookham Rise provides a shuttle service to Marlow in one direction and Maidenhead the other, connecting with the mainline for speedy access to London Paddington via crossrail.

The larger town of Marlow is a couple of miles from the property, offering a superb range of shops with an eclectic mix of local independent and national retailers. There are numerous bars, cafes and restaurants dotted around the town offering destinations for any occasion. The town itself is situated on the banks of the River Thames and the Thames Path follows the river through the town.

Just outside the town, the area opens out to glorious rolling countryside and a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Outdoor pursuits are numerous, as are golf, football, cricket and rugby clubs.

For commuters, the town has a train station to Paddington (via Maidenhead) and the M4 and M40 motorways are accessed from the A404(M) which passes the town.

Description

Quarry Cottage offers versatile accommodation arranged over three storeys. Currently, it features five bedrooms and two reception rooms, but it could easily be configured as a four-bedroom home with an additional reception room on the ground floor. The elevated setting provides the house with commanding views to the rear, overlooking the private gardens and the woodland and countryside beyond.

As you approach the house, there is parking available for several vehicles on the driveway. The ground floor boasts an impressive reception room, arranged in an L-shape to provide both a sitting room and a formal dining room (currently used as a games room). The living room features a large picture window with views over the rear garden. The kitchen is modern and attractive, with space for a dining table and access to a balcony that overlooks the garden. Also on the ground floor is bedroom five, which includes an en suite shower room and would also make an excellent study or office. The upper and lower floors comprise four double bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms.

Throughout, the house is beautifully presented with modern fixtures and fittings. The layout offers interesting options that would suit both a growing family and those looking to downsize in equal measure.

Quarry Cottage is located on Gibraltar Lane, a highly sought-after road in Cookham Dean. The house is set back from the road behind electric gates and a paved driveway with ample parking. The rear garden is simply and beautifully landscaped, featuring a lawn overlooked by a large balcony terrace accessed from the kitchen/dining room. The garden feels wonderfully leafy and secluded, bordered by trees and low hedging, and backed by wooden panel fencing.

Directions

From Marlow town, head away from the High Street over the river and turn left into Quarry Wood Road, continuing along this road up the steep hill to the top of Winter Hill. As the road levels off, follow it keeping to the left at the triangular green and follow Winter Hill for about half a mile, past the impressive viewpoint overlooking the river. Shortly after, take a sharp left into Gibraltar Lane. Quarry Cottage can be found half way along the road on the right hand side.
