Church Road, Marlow, Buckinghamshire, SL7

A wonderfully private family home in a popular and desirable village setting, between Marlow and Bourne End, with good size accommodation and a gated driveway.

Description

Nestled within the delightful village of Little Marlow, this substantial house offers a commanding presence and perfectly balanced accommodation ideally suited to family life. The 4,800 sq ft of space is arranged over three floors, including a variety of spaces for entertaining, seven double bedrooms – five of which have en suite facilities, and excellent storage space. The house is set within a very private plot, tucked away behind high trees with lovely views over its own gardens. The vendors have made a number of improvements to the house, including an extension and a loft conversion. Internally the décor is elegant and tastefully presented, making a fabulously stylish residence that needs only personalisation by the new owner to make it feel like home.

The welcoming entrance hall provides an excellent first impression, leading through to the kitchen and breakfast room which opens to the rear garden via two sets of glazed doors. The four reception spaces provide different options for both formal and informal entertaining: a dual aspect sitting room with fireplace, a light-filled conservatory, a family room and a formal dining room. In addition there’s a comfortable study that’s ideal for home working, a prep kitchen/utility room and a cloakroom with WC and storage. The first floor has a principal bedroom with dressing area and en suite bath/shower room, four further bedrooms – two of which are en suite, plus a family bathroom. There are a further two en suite double bedrooms and a loft storage space on the second floor.

Though the house is located close to the village centre, the outside space that surrounds Marchfield House feels wonderfully private. The entrance is accessed via tall electric gates, while the boundary of well-established mature trees provides a high degree of privacy to the beautifully landscaped gardens. A lawn extends from a paved terrace to a stand of specimen trees including copper beech, while a timber summerhouse offers storage and space to relax. The gated entrance, with keypad entry, opens to a long driveway leading to a large parking area at the front of the house, as well as an integrated double garage.
