Description

Nestled amongst similar detached family homes on a peaceful no-through road, this spacious family home is perfectly placed for enjoying the balance of town and rural living. The town centre of Marlow is less than a mile away and there is beautiful countryside to explore on the doorstep. The house was constructed in the mid 1960s and has been well maintained by the vendor though is somewhat dated internally and would benefit from further modernisation, making it a fabulous opportunity for the new owner to put their own stamp on the home. The light and well-proportioned accommodation has a good amount of storage, and there is potential to extend or remodel (subject to obtaining the necessary consents).

The spacious ground floor comprises an inviting entrance hall leading to a 20ft dual aspect sitting room, a separate dining room with sliding glazed doors leading to the rear garden, and a kitchen with adjoining utility room – the latter an extension added in 2003. There is also a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, three of which can accommodate a double bed, as well as a family shower room with underfloor heating and a loft space for storage over the garage. All of the bedrooms further benefit from built-in storage.

The house is set behind a lawned front garden and a paved driveway for two cars which leads up to two separate attached garages, one of which is an extension with a rear door to the garden. The garages provide scope for conversion, subject to planning permission. The rear garden is enclosed by well established trees which create a secluded natural boundary, further improved by wooden panel fencing. The garden is an excellent size and is stocked with a wide variety of shrubs, and there is a timber shed at the rear.
