Description

A stone’s throw from Marlow’s bustling High Street and walking distance from the mainline station, this impressive, semi-detached Victorian home is a great example of town living. The house is situated on the ever popular Station Road, and, rarely available for houses of this type, it benefits from its own private driveway parking. The Victorian house has plenty of character features from the era, such as decorative barge boards, and a box bay window, though internally it has been extensively modernised to a high standard. The renovations have incorporated original features, such as dado rails, into the modern design, adding Crittal-style windows and doors and plantation-style shutters as a nod to the building’s past.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and comprises a sitting room at the front of the house, an open plan kitchen and dining room opening to the rear garden and a cloakroom with WC. There are two good-size double bedrooms on the first floor, along with a family bath and shower room, with a further double bedroom and en suite shower room on the second floor.

Outside
A huge benefit of this house is the off-street parking, with a brick driveway to the side of the house in front of a set of double gates which open to a further parking space within the garden. The fully enclosed garden is partly walled by a high, Grade I-listed brick wall which forms the boundary of Marlow Place, built in 1720 for the Earl of Portsmouth. The garden features a parcel of lawn, a good-size terrace and a separate timber decking area to the rear that’s perfect for garden furniture.

Directions

From Marlow town centre, head south on the High Street and at the double roundabout take the first exit onto Station Road. Continue for 0.1 miles where the property will be on the left-hand side just before the turning to Parsonage Gardens on the opposite side of the road.
