Description

This attractive home is situated in a desirable position on a quiet country road surrounded by greenery and within easy reach of Marlow’s many attractions and conveniences. The detached home, which was converted from a bungalow in the 1980s, is tucked away behind a walled front garden and set within 1.54 acres. Surrounded by stunning countryside, views to the wider landscape are plentiful with the beautiful and well-established sloped rear garden providing closer access to nature as well as a heated pool with wooden deck for soaking up the afternoon sun. Internally there is an abundance of light and the spacious rooms are thoughtfully presented to make the most of the countryside views where available. The house is ready to move into immediately and offers great potential for personalisation.

A welcoming entrance leads to a versatile configuration of rooms for both entertainment and day-to-day life set across two floors. On the ground floor there are three reception rooms, a dine-in kitchen with adjoining utility, a study and double bedroom with fitted wardrobes. All the rooms to the rear of the ground floor have sliding doors to provide seamless interaction with the garden and greenery. On the first floor there are three more well-proportioned double bedrooms with fitted storage. The main bedroom has an en suite and balcony for another opportunity to absorb the breath-taking view.
