Oak Tree Avenue, Marlow, SL7

Set on one of Marlow’s most sought-after residential roads, this extensively extended and renovated semi-detached home offers a surprising amount of space, with flexible accommodation across three floors, a south-facing garden and the High Street within easy walking distance.

The house has evolved considerably over time, creating a home that works brilliantly for modern family life.
An extended entrance provides a welcoming sense of space from the moment you step inside.

To the front is a generous bay-fronted reception room, providing a separate space to retreat to away from the main kitchen and family area.

At the rear, the kitchen opens into an extended living and dining area, creating a wonderfully sociable heart to the home. From here, the focus turns towards the south-facing garden, with doors opening directly onto the patio and creating an easy connection between inside and out. It is the kind of layout that works just as well for everyday family life as it does with a house full of friends.

The garden itself enjoys a southerly aspect, with a patio immediately outside the house providing plenty of space for outdoor dining and entertaining. A ground-floor shower room adds another layer of practicality.

The space continues upstairs. The first floor has also been extended and now provides three generous double bedrooms, alongside a smaller fourth bedroom or dedicated study. The family bathroom is well proportioned and includes a bath with shower, creating a practical space for family life.

And there is still another floor.

The loft has been converted to create an impressive principal bedroom suite. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a Juliet balcony make the most of the south-facing outlook, flooding the room with natural light while, remarkably, still retaining a real sense of privacy. There is also an en suite shower room and generous eaves storage, providing plenty of hidden space for all the things a family home inevitably collects.

The converted garage, currently used as a gym and home office offers additional space which could also work well as a playroom or bedroom.

Altogether, the house offers four or five bedrooms depending on how the spaces are used, alongside multiple reception and working areas. It is this flexibility that makes the house particularly special – there is space to work from home, accommodate guests, give children their own areas and still have rooms where everyone can come together.

The Seller Says:
“We originally chose the house for its location, the excellent local schools and the space it offered to raise a family, and it has been exactly that for us. Over the years we’ve extended and adapted it as our family has grown, from opening up the kitchen and dining space to creating the loft bedroom, which is now one of our favourite rooms because of how spacious and light it feels. The garden has been brilliant for the children, and we love being able to walk to the schools, shops and into Marlow, while still feeling nicely removed from the centre. It’s a house full of family memories - including our children taking their first steps here. It’s that space and flexibility of the home that we’ll miss most"
