Description

This four-bedroom detached family home presents a significant opportunity for renovation and extension, subject to planning permission, making it an ideal choice for investors or those looking to personalize their living space. The property is conveniently located within a short walking distance of the High Street, providing easy access to local amenities and transport links. The accommodation begins with an entrance porch leading into a welcoming reception hall. A cloakroom and direct access to the garage enhance functionality. The kitchen/breakfast room is spacious enough for informal dining, featuring a range of eye-level and base units with ample worktop space. Adjacent to the kitchen, a utility/store room equipped with plumbing offers additional practicality. The living room at the rear benefits from patio doors that open onto the garden, while double doors lead into what is currently utilized as a dining room; this versatile space could also serve as a family or playroom. Ascending to the first floor, you'll find four thoughtfully sized bedrooms. The master bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom and overlooks the expansive rear garden. Three further bedrooms share a family bathroom, ensuring ample accommodation for family life. Outside, the property boasts a sizable south-facing rear garden measuring approximately 56 feet in length. This outdoor area features a flagstone patio perfect for enjoying morning coffee or al fresco meals, alongside well-established shrubbery and flower borders that provide both color and privacy. There is considerable potential here for further development or landscaping projects. Side gates allow convenient access to the rear. Set back from the road behind a small lawn and flower beds, the house also offers driveway parking leading to an integral single garage. Positioned in Marlow—a picturesque town on the banks of the River Thames—this home benefits from its proximity to scenic countryside, historical sites, diverse shopping options, and recreational activities. Excellent educational institutions are available in both Marlow and nearby areas. Transport links are also strong, with easy connections via rail to London (Elizabeth Line and GWR) as well as quick access to major roadways like the M4 and M40. This property not only serves as a comfortable family residence but also represents an excellent investment opportunity for those willing to explore its renovation potential while benefiting from its prime location.
