West Street, Marlow, Buckinghamshire, SL7

A spacious and well appointed barn conversion with excellent character and private parking, tucked away in a secluded position in Marlow’s town centre.



Description

In a fabulous setting moments from Marlow’s thriving High Street, West Barn is a very charming barn conversion providing fantastically spacious and beautifully appointed open plan accommodation, with the added benefit of private parking and a courtyard garden. The detached period building was converted in the 1990s and has contemporary interiors complementing the attractive character features such as exposed beams in the principal bedroom and en suite bathroom. A number of premium additions have been made to the interiors, including a modern wood-burning stove, a sleek white gloss kitchen and bifold doors opening to the outside space. The ground floor also benefits from underfloor heating.

Downstairs, the main living space is open plan comprising a kitchen and dining room, a sitting room and a separate utility room/cloakroom. There is also a double bedroom with en suite shower room. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has high vaulted ceilings, an en suite shower room and eaves storage.

Outside
West Barn enjoys a secluded position in the heart of Marlow, tucked away between a green space to the rear and the bustling shops and restaurants of West Street. Two parking spaces on a private driveway to the side of the house provide off-street parking. The house is set behind a walled garden located between the two ‘wings’ of the home, making it feel exceptionally private and offering a wonderfully sheltered position for alfresco dining.

Location

Highfield Park is a wonderfully secluded and private development converted from the remains of an old manor house (now destroyed) and its associated outbuildings and estate properties. It is situated just off the Henley Road on the favourable western edge of Marlow, in a highly convenient and desirable location. It is a few minutes’ drive from the Hand & Flowers pub – the only pub in the UK to have two Michelin stars – and is convenient for Sir William Borlase’s Grammar School and Spinfield School.

Marlow is a popular location for families, with numerous schooling options ranging from prep schools to secondary schools. Marlow town offers a superb range of retailers, with an eclectic mix of local independent and national names. There are bars, cafes and restaurants dotted around the town offering destinations for any occasion. Just outside Marlow, the area opens out to glorious rolling countryside and a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Outdoor pursuits are plentiful, as are golf, football, cricket and rugby clubs. For commuters, the town has a train station to Paddington (via Maidenhead) and the M40/M4 motorways are accessed from the A404(M) which passes the town.
