5 bedroom detached house to rent

Detached five-bedroom thatched house in the village of Marden, available unfurnished for a short-term let, with large garden, garage and countryside views.

Description - Chequers House is a charming detached red brick property with a thatched roof, dating back to the late 18th century. It is situated in the desirable village of Marden. The house combines generous space with traditional character and has been modernised to provide comfortable and practical living accommodations. It is available unfurnished for a short-term rental and would suit somebody sold and looking for an onward purchase. All gardening included.

The ground floor features a well-thought-out layout, offering a variety of reception rooms and good ceiling heights throughout. The main sitting room includes a wood-burning stove, exposed beams, and doors that open directly onto the rear terrace and garden, creating a bright and inviting space. The kitchen is equipped with an Aga and fitted units, along with ample room for a large dining table, making it perfect for everyday use and informal entertaining. Adjoining the kitchen are a utility room, a boot room, and a cloakroom, providing useful additional space.

A further reception room on the ground floor can serve as either a formal dining room or a study, while a separate snug provides a cosy private sitting area. This flexible layout allows for a range of uses to suit different needs.

Upstairs, the main section of the house features four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. A separate staircase leads from the snug to a fifth bedroom, which has its own bathroom, creating a private area that works well for guests or as a home office.

Outside, the property is approached via a gravel driveway that offers ample parking, along with a large garage for both parking and storage. The rear garden is particularly attractive, featuring a terrace accessible from the sitting room and kitchen, a spacious lawn, mature trees and hedging, and open views across the surrounding fields. A gate leads directly from the garden to a public footpath, providing access to walks around the village and the surrounding countryside.

A Note From The Whites Letting Team - Thank you for considering Whites as your letting agent. As a proud member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), we aspire to uphold its core values by providing a fair, efficient, and transparent service for all prospective tenants. Below we’ve outlined how we manage property enquiries and applications to help set expectations and guide you through the letting application process.

To begin the process of enquiring about one of our properties, please click the ‘Request Further Details/Info’ button on the property listing. This will send us your contact information, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible with a short questionnaire to complete. Once we’ve received your completed questionnaire, your enquiry will be registered with the relevant Property Manager. Please note, only those who complete this step will be considered as having formally enquired about the property.

Due to the high level of interest we often receive, we regret that we aren’t often able to offer everyone a viewing. Where possible, we handle enquiries in the order they are received and arrange viewings in groups of up to 4 for the first round. If the property remains available, an additional round of viewings may be scheduled. To manage expectations, we may also temporarily pause viewings to review enquiries. If this happens, we’ll do our best to update the property listing accordingly.

Please note that applications are not decided on a first-come, first-served basis. We aim to ensure a fair process for everyone, and all applications will be carefully considered on its merits by us, in conjunction with the landlord, before a final decision is made.

The availability date listed is provisional and will only be confirmed once referencing has been successfully completed.
