Little Marlow Road, Marlow, Buckinghamshire, SL7

A handsome period home offering generous accommodation, character features and exceptional potential, within easy reach of Marlow's amenities.

Description

This attractive semi-detached home presents an excellent opportunity for a family seeking a characterful property to make their own, or for an investor looking to add value. Offering generous proportions throughout, the house retains a wealth of original period features, including the staircase and internal doors, large fireplaces and decorative picture and dado rails. While the property would benefit from modernisation, it provides an exciting opportunity to enhance and celebrate its wonderful early Edwardian character while creating a superb family home.

Arranged over three floors, the accommodation follows a traditional and practical layout. A wide entrance opens into a welcoming and spacious hallway, where the original staircase takes centre stage and a cloakroom is conveniently positioned to one side. To the front of the house is a generous reception room featuring a large bay window and an attractive open fireplace. This room flows seamlessly into a spacious dining area, where French doors open onto the garden, allowing natural light to travel through both spaces.
The kitchen is well proportioned and fitted with painted cabinetry. Although requiring updating, it offers an excellent canvas for redesign and flows naturally into a breakfast room, creating a wonderful family space. A door leads into the garage and opposite, a glazed door provides direct access to the garden.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden, accompanied by two further bedrooms, one of which is a double, all served by a family shower room. The second floor provides two additional bedrooms, together with useful storage space.

Outside
The property boasts an attractive façade, showcasing the distinctive timber detailing synonymous with the Arts and Crafts influence of the Edwardian period. A gravel driveway provides off road parking and is bordered by mature hedging, while established trees provide interest and dappled shade.

Gates lead to a spacious double-length garage, offering excellent storage and potential for alternative uses, such as a garden office or studio, subject to any necessary consents. The rear garden features a paved terrace for al fresco dining and is predominantly laid to lawn. It features a variety of mature shrubs, trees and established planting, providing colour, structure and interest throughout the seasons. Fully enclosed, it offers an ideal outdoor space for families to enjoy immediately or further enhance over time.
