A chalet-style home in need of modernisation, with far-reaching views. Great scope for improvement, extension or rebuilding (subject to securing consent).

Description

120 New Road has a prime position on the hilltop in Marlow Bottom, privately situated yet with wonderful views too. The elevated setting gives with fantastic views over the town and beyond. The surrounding area offers many footpaths and the house sits adjacent to Munces Wood and Kimber’s Copse, which is a popular spot for dog walking. With its tucked away setting and large plot, the 1960s house feels very private and secluded, benefitting from gardens to the front and rear.

The house is built in a chalet-style with accommodation extending to about 1405 sq ft over two floors in its current layout. Internally the décor is somewhat dated and poses a fantastic opportunity for modernisation or total redevelopment (subject to obtaining the necessary consents), and there is a good precedent on New Road for significant alterations.

The accommodation currently comprises a sitting room, open plan kitchen/dining room, a bath/shower room and two bedrooms on the ground floor, with a further two bedrooms and a study upstairs. The house also benefits from gas central heating.

The house is situated at the end of the cul de sac, back from the road and accessed via its own private driveway that leads between two other houses to a generous parking area and the front garden – the house is well concealed from the road on a good-size plot. There are a number of outbuildings, including a garage with attached car port, a workshop, WC and stores, which also provide scope for development. The lawned garden wraps around the entire property and is enclosed by mature trees and hedges.
