Description

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a riverside residence in Marlow, complete with a private mooring. This property, known as River House, dates back to the 1920s and is thoughtfully positioned on the banks of the River Thames, allowing for stunning views and a serene atmosphere. While the home is currently livable, it also offers significant potential for redevelopment, with full planning consent granted in 2025 for a new four-bedroom dwelling along with a detached carport/store. Set back from the road and surrounded by mature trees, River House provides a secluded environment. The gravel driveway leads to ample parking space and an integral garage. The extensive grounds include an artificial-grass tennis court and beautifully landscaped gardens, creating a tranquil setting. At the rear, expansive lawns are dotted with shrubs and specimen trees, including a majestic willow, enhancing the picturesque riverside experience. The private mooring allows for direct access to the Thames, perfect for boating enthusiasts. Located on the desirable southern side of the river, Quarrywood Road is just 0.3 miles from Marlow's High Street, offering easy access to local amenities, schools, and outdoor pursuits. Marlow is well-known for its vibrant community and excellent transport links, making it an attractive location for families and professionals alike.

Confidence: LOW

River House presents a unique opportunity to own a property on the banks of the River Thames in Marlow, complete with a private mooring. While the current asking price of £2,950,000 at £912/sqf is significantly above the local average of £606/sqf, the home's excellent location and well-maintained exterior offer a canvas for potential buyers. With full planning consent for redevelopment granted, there’s a chance to replace the existing dwelling with a substantial new four-bedroom home, enhancing the value of this prime riverside location.

The property is set back from the road, providing privacy and a serene garden environment. Although the flood risk in the area is a consideration, the overall condition of the exterior and gardens is good, making it an appealing project for those looking to invest in a home with considerable potential. Buyers should be aware that bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Full planning consent for replacement with a substantial four-bedroom home
  • Private mooring for direct access to the River Thames
  • Secluded and private setting with extensive gardens and mature landscaping

Key risks

  • Flood risk noted in the area
