5 bedroom detached house

An attractive period townhouse with a wealth of original features situated in a convenient location close to the Parade and railway station.

Description

Sitting back from the leafy foliage of its attractive frontage, this exceptional Victorian home is perfectly placed for all the amenities of the village and offers easy access to the centre of Marlow. Beautifully styled and presented throughout in keeping with its history and heritage, its three storey layout has been sympathetically extended and enhanced retaining a wonderful degree of original features. From the exposed timber beams to the wood floors, picture rails and fireplaces, there is abundance of character.

A wonderful entrance hall with a superbly elegant turning staircase gives an immediate insight into the accommodation’s fluidity. Its excellent dimensions open onto an outstanding duo of reception rooms that combine with the adjoining kitchen and dining room to create a spacious open plan layout ideal for family life. Bay windows allow natural light to filter into the reception rooms enhancing the detailing of wood floors from the Royal Academy of Art, while a magnificent period fireplace and a log burner add striking focal points to each room. Beneath a considered roof lantern the commendable dining room has French doors leading out to the tranquil courtyard garden and extends into an equally impressive country kitchen supremely well appointed with wooden Shaker cabinetry and accommodating a range cooker. Stained glass windows lend a dash of colour, exposed beams add to the rustic feel, and a separate utility room and cloakroom sit discreetly from view. A generous study has the versatility to cater to your own needs.

The period charm is echoed upstairs where five tremendous bedrooms pepper the upper two storeys. An enticing principal bedroom with a vaulted ceiling has an excellent en suite with a classic freestanding roll top bath. A second bedroom with further bay windows is currently configured as a marvellous sitting room, and two traditionally styled shower rooms provide ample convenience for any busy modern household.

At the front of the property mature trees and shrubs lend natural privacy to the reception rooms and produce a welcoming first impression, whilst the wrought iron railings of the garden and the hung tiles of the property’s distinguished facade hint at the Victorian architecture and features within. The main entrance is situated to the side of the building where a private driveway and detached double garaging proffer ample off-road parking for several vehicles. Arranged over two storeys, the garage has the potential to become a self-contained annexe (STNC).
Tranquil and secluded, a walled and tastefully landscaped courtyard garden is a heavenly retreat for al fresco entertaining and invites you to take a stroll into the adjacent garden where mature flowerbeds fully stocked with cottage garden favourites and leafy shrubs border a considerable lawn with a stepping stone path leading to a brick built summer house.
