Description

This uniquely designed cottage is a rare find within Marlow: a two-bedroom home, situated amongst the large residences lining Henley Road within a short walk (0.4 miles) of the top end of the High Street and within a short distance from the renowned Hand & Flowers pub and Sir William Borlase’s Grammar School. The cottage is a 1930s construction, converted in the late 1990s and more recently refurbished by the current owner. Highlights include an open plan kitchen with ample storage and a breakfast bar, Crittal-style doors, a modern shower room and a newly landscaped garden.

The accommodation is well suited to downsizers, single professionals or couples, and is well proportioned and arranged over two floors. On the ground floor, an entrance hallway with a storage cupboard opens to the open plan living space which encompasses almost the entire floor. The stylish kitchen is open to the sitting room, which has engineered wood flooring. There is a useful laundry cupboard with a fitted washing machine and a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs there is a double bedroom with a built-in wardrobe, a further bedroom also with built-in storage and a ‘Jack-and-Jill’ style shower room with twin vanity unit.

Located on the western side of Marlow, the property enjoys a prime setting less than half a mile from both the High Street and mainline station.

Studio Cottage is situated on a quiet position tucked off Henley Road and is one of just four homes on a private drive. There is off-street parking for two cars.

The garden is laid to a mix of surfaces, including lawn, decking and gravel, with two flowerbeds and two large garden sheds with great potential to landscape to the new owners wishes.
