5 bedroom detached house

A modern family home with private garden and driveway parking in a desirable and convenient position on the western edge of Marlow.



Description

This spacious family home is situated on a popular road convenient for both Marlow and Henley, with a level walk into Marlow town centre and a leafy setting with mature shrubs and trees in view. The house was originally built in 1977 and has been updated to include a garage converted for storage, a new boiler and general redecoration.
The well-proportioned rooms are ideal for family life and offer excellent space for entertaining at home, with a choice of three reception rooms. The house is built from red brick with a complementary character detail internally, including a Mediterranean-style arch, a feature fireplace and a matching surround within the kitchen. The neutrally presented interiors provide good scope for personalisation.

The house is entered onto a welcoming reception hall leading to a large dual aspect sitting room, a separate formal dining room, an open plan kitchen with space for a breakfast table, a study and utility room with space for laundry machines. In addition, there is a snug to the rear of the garage which functions as a TV room, and a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs there are three good-size double bedrooms, two larger single bedrooms, an en suite shower room to the principal bedroom and a family bathroom. There is a large storage cupboard on the landing and three of the bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes.

The house is situated on Henley Road, set back behind its own private tarmac and gravel driveway with plenty of off-street parking and access to a garage which has been partially converted for storage. There are attractive shrubs and climbers which continue around to the rear, where there is a well-maintained garden that faces south-west and enjoys a high degree of privacy thanks to its tall hedges and a large wall to one side. The level lawn is bordered by colourful bedding plants and herbaceous shrubs, as well as a couple of raised vegetable beds, and there is a paved terrace for outdoor dining.
