3 bedroom terraced house for sale

A wonderfully presented three-bedroom Victorian house with pretty gardens and a detached studio, on a sought-after road less 0.2 miles from the High Street of Marlow

Description

This charming Victorian home dates back to about 1905 and offers a wealth of character features, such as sash windows and exposed brick detailing. Inside the property has been renovated to a high standard, including a stunning contemporary extension to the rear, a loft conversion, full cosmetic redecoration over three floors, upgraded bathrooms and privacy shutters on the windows. The soft, heritage colours and natural materials beautifully complement the age of the home, while modern additions such as underfloor heating and an integrated sound system provide a luxurious finish.

The open plan ground floor has excellent flow, beginning with a relaxing sitting room with dual fuel stove, leading to a formal dining area and the extended kitchen at the rear. The latter enjoys good natural light from a roof lantern and bifold doors overlooking the rear garden, which can be opened up in the warmer months to bring the outside in and extend the space for entertaining. A cloakroom has been cleverly tucked under the stairs.

The first-floor accommodation is spacious and equally well presented, comprising a generous bedroom at the front of the house with a wall of built-in wardrobes, a second good-size double bedroom and a family bath and shower room. Within the second-floor loft conversion there is a third bedroom with dressing room and en suite shower room, which is the ideal principal suite or a fabulous space for guests.

York Road is well positioned less than half a mile from the top of Marlow High Street. The property is set within an attractive terrace of Victorian homes, behind a neat front garden separated from the road by a privacy hedge and a pedestrian gate; a traditional 'chequerboard' path leads to the front door. To the rear, a charming town garden has been beautifully landscaped to maximise the space, with high hedges enclosing the garden to provide shade and privacy. A paved terrace at the back of the house is ideal for outside entertaining in the warmer months, while a path winds through the lawn to a detached garden studio with storage to the rear which would make a fantastic home office, hobby space or gym.
