A rare opportunity to purchase a historic Grade II listed family home on the outskirts of the highly regarded riverside town of Marlow.
Delightfully located in the Chiltern Hills, Lord's Wood was built in 1899 and has been the present family's home since 1974. The house retains many of the original features, which include high ceilings, classic cornicing, period fireplaces, and elegant windows.

The ground floor comprises a very welcoming reception hall, with a pillared archway to the main staircase. A fine drawing room has a feature wood carved fireplace with log burner, large bay windows overlooking the impressive garden, plus French windows leading to the parterre garden. A hexagon shaped dining room, with open fireplace, fitted display units, parquet flooring, and a large window overlooking the garden. There is a light and spacious kitchen/breakfast room with a range of painted wall and floor units, an Aga, and a wood burning stove. Double doors lead onto the terraced area ideal for al fresco dining. There is a lobby with s door to the outside, a boot room, and stairs down to the cellar, which are ideal for storage.

Through the pillared arch up the main staircase with leaded window and galleried landing, the first floor offers the principal bedroom suite – a bright room with a feature fireplace and door leading on to the Juliet balcony, a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, a bathroom, plus a separate cloakroom. There are also two double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a further double bedroom, upstairs utility room, and a separate shower room with a walk-in shower and WC. Up a staircase, the second floor comprises three more double bedrooms, a single bedroom, hobby room, and bathroom - an ideal area for teenagers.

The Studio
A second driveway leads to The Studio, which presently is being used as an art gallery studio/office. The front door leads into a large reception hall, with two cloakrooms and on to a large reception area with feature fireplace and wonderful arched sash window and an oak floor. This leads into a large, impressive gallery with a library/office off to one side.
Upstairs comprises an office with feature fireplace, an office/media room, a small kitchen area, and another office.

Gardens and Grounds
Lord's Wood is accessed up a secluded tree lined avenue through an electric gate into the gravel driveway. There are extensive grounds which feature richly planted herbaceous borders, mature trees, yew tree hedging and topiary, a parterre garden planted with box, flagstone terrace, a formal garden mainly laid to lawn. A lightly wooded area leads onto a pergola walkway. This takes you to the wildflower meadows with wonderful views over the Chilterns. A special kitchen garden houses an Alitex Greenhouse, a summerhouse, raised beds and a cutting garden. A lovely herb garden enclosed by yew hedges has a raised circular pond. A private area reached through a brick arch houses the outdoor swimming pool, sauna, shower and changing room. This is a splendid place for entertaining whilst taking in the wonderful garden.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on June 15, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
