Pool. Prestige. Pure Marlow lifestyle. Discover No. 6, Spinfield Lane West, a flawlessly reimagined family home where design, location and lifestyle converge over nearly 4,000 sq ft of light and luxury.

Just minutes from the river, the high street, and two-star Michelin dining at The Hand & Flowers, this magnificent five-bedroom home blends contemporary comfort with family-friendly design – in one of Marlow’s most coveted locations – nestled between some of the area’s best schools – including Spinfield Primary and Borlase Grammar.

Originally built in the 1950s, No. 6, Spinfield Lane West was extensively rebuilt in 2008, almost doubling its size.

Pull up onto the private driveway, where there is ample parking for five vehicles, alongside an EVC point and integral garage. Leafy and private, framed by clipped shrubs, mature acers, and soft planting, fragrant wisteria heralds the arrival of spring over the lawn, providing a pleasant arrival home.

A warm welcome

Underfloor heating provides the warmest of welcomes in the entrance hall, where wooden flooring extends underfoot, and subtle shades of Farrow & Ball inspired Ammonite create a soothing first impression. Freshen up in the handy downstairs WC with wash basin and vanity unit storage, with a large cloaks cupboard on hand for coats and accessories.

Inspirational spaces

With views out over the driveway, the office on the right is the perfect place to work from home, light, bright and situated away from the main flow of family spaces. 

Tucked away beyond the handsome solid oak staircase seek out solace and serenity in the sitting room, warmed by an inset fireplace and providing peaceful views out over the lawn and colourful planting to the front. 

Glazed double doors open from the entrance hall into the vast family-dining-kitchen, the heart of the home.

The heart of family living

Beautifully designed, brilliantly connected and bathed in natural light, the bespoke German-made In-toto kitchen is as sleek as it is functional, with ample preparation space on the black marble worktops, alongside a range of high-spec Miele appliances including steam/convection oven, combination fan/microwave/grill oven, warmer drawer and dishwasher alongside a sociable breakfast bar central island housing both ceramic and wok hobs, plus a discreet Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwasher. 

An aspiring chef’s dream, the kitchen also features an electric Aga with programmable AIMS system, a Quooker tap with HiTAC filter alongside an American-style Fischer & Paykel fridge freezer – each element chosen with both everyday ease and serious cooking in mind.

Feast your eyes

The hub of the home, with easy flow to all the key ground floor spaces, the dining area of the kitchen opens through bi-folding doors to the garden - perfect for al fresco dining, everyday family conversation, and laid-back summer lunches that drift outdoors with ease. It’s a space designed for coming together and staying close.

Step down from here into the family room - a relaxed retreat with just enough separation to feel calm, while still part of the wider rhythm of daily life. Tiled underfoot with the added element of underfloor heating, bifolding doors open to the swimming pool nestled on its own private travertine tiled terrace, the ultimate chill zone and teenage hangout. 

Back in the dining room, another door opens to the home gym, which itself connects to the garden via French doors, inviting fresh air flow in during heated workouts.

Located next to the spacious garage and keeping the kitchen clutter free, there is also a handy utility room, connected to the first floor via a convenient laundry chute, currently furnished with a Siemens washing machine and Miele dryer. For added convenience there is a walk-in shower room/toilet, keeping the house free from wet floors after a dip in the pool.

And so to bed…

Returning to the entrance hall, head upstairs to a first-floor landing where at the top of the stairs, a sweep of sunlight leads the eye to the vaulted glass of the principal suite ahead, framing treetop views. 

A serene retreat, bathed in natural light and finished in soothing shades of Farrow & Ball’s Purbeck Stone and Fossil Stone, the full-height wall of glass in the principal suite opens to a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden and pool - a view that shifts with the seasons. Inside, a walk-in wardrobe alongside a generous dressing room and ensuite wet room shower room with Hansgrohe fittings complete the space, with underfloor heating ensuring comfort year-round.

Coming out of the principal suite, bedrooms 4 and 5 are light filled double bedrooms, served by shower room ensuites. 

Returning along the landing, a run of bespoke bookcases offers both character and calm - the perfect pause between bedrooms. 

Beyond, bedrooms 2 and 3 are generously sized, with built in wardrobes and feature elegant and well proportioned bath and shower ensuites, perfect for everyone to have their own space.

Sunshine, swimming and serenity

Set over two levels, the garden, accessible from the main entertaining and leisure space, is an outdoor oasis made for family life, long summer evenings and celebrations under the open sky.

The upper lawn and patio are bordered by flowering shrubs, trees and, conveniently situated outside the kitchen, a herb garden - perfect for snipping fresh mint for drinks or sprigs of thyme for the Sunday roast. With ample room to pitch a 12 x 6m marquee for garden parties, birthdays or balmy-night dinners that run late into the evening, this is an outdoor space made for bringing people together.

Step down to the lower terrace and embrace summer living beside the 9m x 4.5m heated swimming pool – perfect for early morning dips, weekend lounging and poolside parties. 

Surrounded by travertine paving the pool is fitted with a walk-on Aqua Guard electric safety cover (replaced in 2020), ensuring safety for children and pets alike. A Calorex air-source heat pump, newly installed in 2024, ensures the water is warm well into the season.

Outbuildings

Tucked into the garden, a discreet pool house with a living green roof contains the pump, filtration system and air-source heat pump - keeping everything running smoothly, quietly and out of sight. To the uphill side of the home, a lean-to provides dry, practical storage for garden furniture, paddleboards, or muddy boots after woodland walks.

Out and about

Experience the community, culture and convenience on your doorstep, with Marlow’s renowned culinary scene close by - from Tom Kerridge’s The Hand & Flowers, the UK’s only two-Michelin-starred pub, The Coach and The Butcher’s Tap, to Atul Kochhar’s Sindhu and Vaasu, and beloved local favourites like The Vanilla Pod, The Ivy Marlow Garden, Satollo, and Gail’s.

Whether it’s artisan coffee at The Mixing Jug, an evening at Tiger Garden, or a late-night burger from Haji’s Kebab and Burger Van (a true Marlow institution), there’s something for every mood - with cosy pubs like The Oarsman, The Ship and the Crafty Taproom (where Heston Blumenthal’s son Jack has created a chicken wing offering), The Grand Assembly and the delightful wine bar Grape Expectations always nearby.

Surrounded by green space and river paths, the location is ideal for outdoor living. Meander through Higginson Park to Temple Lock, stroll the towpath to Bourne End or Henley, or explore Happy Valley, Marlow Common and Bovingdon Woods - a haven for dog-walkers, runners and cyclists.

Daily life is well catered for, with Waitrose at Handy Cross, a large local Sainsbury’s, M&S Food, Lidl, and a host of independents in town — from bakeries and butchers - The Meat Hook in town and Phil Bowditch fish monger a short drive away in Little Marlow.

For families, educational options are exceptional.
