Fishermans Retreat, Marlow, Buckinghamshire, SL7

A modern three-bedroom home with garage and parking, moments from the High Street, the river Thames and Marlow train station.

Description

Fisherman’s Retreat is a charming close tucked away in a secluded position yet within a stone’s throw of Marlow’s thriving High Street and the river Thames and is said to be one of the town’s prettiest streets. This end-of-terrace house forms part of an attractive development of neo-Georgian homes built in a mews style in the 1970s. The external features recall the Georgian era with a modern twist, such as a pedimented front door and mock sash-style UPVc windows, yet internally the house has been modernised and is presented in good decorative order. The neutral décor is ready for personalisation by the new owner.

The layout is light and open, with the house enjoying good natural light. There are pleasant views over Marlow and St Peter’s Church to the north. From the entrance hall, which has a cloakroom with WC, double doors open to the living space comprising a sitting room with gas fireplace and an adjoining dining room, the latter opening to the rear garden. Separately there is a modern galley-style kitchen with white gloss cabinetry and integrated appliances including an oven, dishwasher and induction hob. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, including two doubles; all of the bedrooms have built-in storage and share a family bathroom.

On-street parking is available locally (permit required). To the front of the house there is a paved garden while to the rear, a low-maintenance courtyard garden has a good-size terrace and a parcel of lawn bordered by mature shrubs, making it feel wonderfully private. A side gate provides access to a garage en bloc and a parking area.
