Description
The ground floor provides an enclosed covered mooring suitable for a vessel of up to approximately 30 feet, with an impressive ceiling height of around 10 feet at normal tide. This level also includes a separate kitchen area and shower room/WC, making it ideal for entertaining and enjoying riverside gatherings.
An ornate external spiral staircase leads to the upper floor accommodation. Here, the property offers two further bedrooms, one benefiting from a private balcony wrapped in mature vine foliage. The spacious main reception room features an open fireplace and enjoys glorious river views, while a charming dining area with panelled windows on two sides floods the space with natural light. A galley kitchen and bathroom complete the accommodation.
A charming one bedroom studio, offering potential for enlargement (subject to the necessary planning consents), sits within the grounds and opens onto an iron trellised walkway entwined with planting, guiding you towards the boathouse itself — a striking and picturesque riverside landmark.
Set within secluded, mature gardens and hidden from public view, the property enjoys an enchanting position on the tranquil banks of the River Thames. Rich in character and heritage, it has previously provided a backdrop for the films True Blue and The Wind in the Willows, adding to its unique provenance. Approached via Quarry Wood Road through wrought iron gates, the sense of privacy and serenity is immediate. The gardens, filled with established shrubs, flowers and winding pathways, create a magical, almost otherworldly setting leading down to the water’s edge.
With its unparalleled setting, historic charm and cinematic past, this rare riverside home offers a truly unique lifestyle opportunity. Only upon personal inspection can the full beauty, character and tranquility of this extraordinary Victorian boathouse be fully appreciated.
Set amidst the rolling Chiltern Hills, Rippling Waters occupies a great position near the charming and historic market town of Marlow, one of Buckinghamshire’s most desirable market towns.

Henley-on-Thames, Oxford and Windsor are all within comfortable reach, offering cultural, sporting and social amenities. The area is rich in leisure opportunities with golf, racing at Ascot and polo at Guards. Excellent schools include Sir William Borlase’s Grammar School, The Beacon, Wycombe Abbey and Eton, making Marlow a sought-after location for families.
