Moyleen Rise, Marlow, Buckinghamshire, SL7

A generously proportioned home in a highly sought-after cul-de-sac, perfect for the High Street and schools yet with surprising privacy. Beautifully presented throughout in immaculate order.

Description

This attractive detached family home is situated in a lovely quiet position in a cul-de-sac off one of Marlow’s most coveted roads, within a short walking distance of a wide range of amenities. This generously proportioned house is well suited to family life, with ample space and a great layout providing excellent options for informal family accommodation, home office space, utility conveniences and formal entertaining rooms.

Originally constructed in 1972, the house has had a number of updates over the years including a total renovation in 2017, when the house was fully redecorated, insulated, extended and had a new kitchen and utility room. The vendors have also converted the entryway to a front porch with useful storage, and there are variety of modern additions throughout including Cat 6 wiring, underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathrooms, a security system with alarm and CCTV and bifold doors opening onto the garden. The house is beautifully presented throughout to a high standard and flooded with natural light.

The ground floor accommodation is centred around the entrance hall and comprises a dual aspect sitting room with wood-burning stove, a separate reception/pplayroom, a study, a cloakroom with WC and, the highlight, an L-shaped open plan kitchen and dining room. This room is the heart of the family home, lit from above by an impressive roof lantern which provides excellent natural light; the glass is specially designed high-rated solar glass to keep the kitchen cool in hot weather. It also has an adjoining large utility and boot room with space for laundry machines. The upstairs bedrooms are all double size, including two with en suite facilities, and there is a contemporary family bathroom in addition.

Outside
The property is tucked away in a cul de sac area of Moyleen Rise, with ample parking to the front on a private driveway. The house also benefits from an integrated double garage. To the rear, there is a southeast-facing garden which is mostly lawned and features an elevated paved terrace accessible from the kitchen and a good-size lawn which is enclosed by mature hedges, making it feel very private. The gardens have been well maintained and have attractive landscaping and a summerhouse.

Location

Moyleen Rise is a coveted no-through cul-de-sac situated just off the Henley Road, in a highly convenient and desirable location. It is moments from the Hand & Flowers pub – the only pub in the UK to have two Michelin stars – and is very convenient for Sir William Borlase’s Grammar School and a short walk from the High Street.

Marlow is a hugely popular location for families, with numerous excellent schooling options both state and private complementing the family-friendly sports facilities and public spaces. The town sits on the banks of the river Thames with the iconic Grade-I listed suspension bridge over the river set at the foot of the High Street. Alongside the river is Higginson Park, a large expanse of public space known for hosting exceptional nationally-recognised events such as Tom Kerridge’s Pub-in-the-Park food festival.

Marlow is an affluent and thriving market town with a centre that offers a superb range of retailers, with an eclectic mix of local independent and national names. There are bars, cafes and restaurants dotted around the town offering destinations for any occasion. Just outside the town, the area opens out to glorious rolling countryside and a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Outdoor pursuits are plentiful, as are golf, football, cricket and rugby clubs. For commuters, the town has a train station to Paddington (via Maidenhead) giving access to the fastest London commute of any mainline station (from as quick as 19 mins to Paddington) and the recently commenced Elizabeth Line services to the City and beyond. The M40/M4 motorways are accessed from the A404(M) which passes the town, providing two easy options to both London and Heathrow.
