Description

Beechwood Farm House is a handsome and privately situated detached home, moments from the vibrant High Street of Marlow town but with open countryside on the doorstep. The house is of a modern construction and is configured as the ideal family home, with ample space for entertaining as well as the demands of busy day to day life. The vendors constructed the home to their specifications in 2003 and it has been beautifully maintained, with modern, classically appointed interiors which are decorated in a traditional country style. Desirable additions include underfloor heating throughout, a stylish kitchen with large AGA and a generous games room on the first floor which has space for a pool/billiards table. Of particular note is the striking entrance hallway with its timber elements and galleried landing, which provides an inviting first impression.

The accommodation is very well proportioned throughout, with the substantial home offering more than 4000 sq ft across two floors, with a further attic space on the second floor ideal for conversion (stpp). On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to the formal reception rooms, comprising a drawing room, dining room and family room. There is also the kitchen/family/breakfast room, a cloakroom with w.c., utility room and boot room leading to a ground floor shower room. On the first floor there is a principal bedroom with dressing room, corner balcony and en suite bath/shower room, a further bedroom with en suite, three additional bedrooms and two more bath/shower rooms, plus a study and the games/media room. There is a generous attic space of over 1000 sq ft on the second floor.

The house is set down a private lane with gated access to a sweeping driveway that leads up to a parking area that has access to the integrated double garage. The house is enveloped within its own spacious landscaped gardens, which are well enclosed by mature hedging, trees and shrubs to create a private and secluded feel, further compounded by the surrounding woodland and open countryside. The garden has been attractively landscaped to include lawned areas bordered by rockery planting, paths, a pond and shrubs, which lead up over a series of terraces. A paved patio to the rear provides the ideal space for outdoor entertaining. There is also a detached barn which offers great equestrian potential or conversion (stpp), fronting onto a grass paddock of about 14 acres with a separate south facing field of about 7 acres, which historically was a Roman Vineyard.
