4 bedroom detached house for sale

Superbly located on a large plot with great potential to extend (subject to obtaining consent), this detached property provides an excellent opportunity to create a wonderful family home.

Description

Built in the early 1950s and in the same ownership since the 1970s, this detached home occupies a particularly generous plot within a mile of both Bourne End marina and the train station, with easy access to the A404(M) and Marlow and the river Thames to the south. The property would benefit from some modernisation, but has well-proportioned rooms throughout and some lovely features, such as parquet flooring and an AGA in the kitchen, and a wood burning stove in the sitting room.

There is great potential to extend (subject to necessary consents) the property further to create an exceptional family home. The layout and position of the house within the plot should make for a very logical extension.

Accessed via a galleried entrance hall complete with a cloakroom, the accommodation extends to more than 2200 sq ft across two floors. The ground floor comprises a sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, pantry, utility and WC, while upstairs there are four bedrooms, including the dual aspect principal bedroom, as well as a family bathroom and separate shower room.

The property boasts a peaceful setting on a desirable private road with established trees offering a good deal of seclusion. Largely enclosed by hedging and panel fencing, the wide plot offers excellent development potential (subject to consent) with ample off-street parking, a garage, large level lawns, a patio and covered seating area to the rear, and a handy external store.
