House For Sale £600,000
4 Bedroom detached house in popular location within a level walk of Burford School and the village amenities. The house comprises of 4 double bedrooms, a family bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, cloakroom, front and back gardens and a detached home office. Some updating is required.
This property represents a mini-project and is priced accordingly but is ready to move into and with a little bit of decoration, new kitchen and bathrooms, you will be able to create a beautiful family home in a fantastic location. The house is on 2 levels with two of the bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs, but there is the potential to reconfigure the ground floor and extend the 1st floor to create a more traditional layout. The detached home office in the garden is an added benefit.
You currently enter this house directly into the kitchen / breakfast room. This is a good sized, square shaped room with a range of wall and base units and space for a table and chairs. Windows to the front and side provide plenty of natural light. Integrated as hob and double oven. There is also space for a dishwasher and a fridge freezer.
A door from the kitchen takes you into a hallway which provides access to the living room, dining room, two of the bedrooms and family bathroom. The living room is a great size, with the focal point being the lovely, brick built open fire place. This is a dual aspect room with windows to the front and to the side, filling the room with natural light. There is ample space for the whole family to relax.
On the opposite side of the hallway, you will find the family bathroom which comprises a bath with shower over, a WC and a wash hand basin. Adjacent to this is the dining room or potentially the 5th bedroom. This is another well proportioned room with plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs and a window to the side elevation.
Further down the hallway and there is a room at the end which is currently used as an office with a utility room off it, but as the water supply is already there, this could relatively easily be converted into a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. The window looks out onto the back garden. Adjacent to this is another room which would make another great double bedroom, this time with doors out into the garden.
Back into the hallway and a newly carpeted staircase takes you to the first floor where you will find two equal sized bedrooms, both doubles and both with views out over the rear garden and woodland beyond. Both rooms benefit from brand new carpet and both have access to the under eaves storage. Also on this floor is a cloakroom which avoids the need for multiple trips down the stairs at night!
The house is approached via a private driveway where there is a car port and space for 4 or 5 cars. To the front of the house there is a good sized area of garden that is relatively level and includes an area of timber decking which is a bit of a sun trap. The front garden is currently rather overgrown but this could easily be sorted.
To the rear of the house there is a large patio area where you can relax with a glass of wine in the evening. The garden behind this is fairly steep so if your kids want a trampoline or a level area on which to play football, then the options will be to either tier the rear garden or utilise the front garden for this.
Close to the top of the garden, and accessed via steps, is a large timber structure that could be used as a home office or a Summer House with an area of timber decking and it enjoys lovely views to the front over the top of the house towards woodland on the other side of the valley. This outbuilding has power and light. It also has fitted electric heating, so it can be fully utilised all year round.
From the rear garden, there is direct access into the woodland behind that is managed and maintained by the Woodland Trust.
Marlow Bottom is situated just outside Marlow, surrounded by open fields and woodland. The village offers a wide range of shops, a fish and chip shop and even an Italian restaurant. If schooling is important to you, the highly regarded Burford School is in the village for children up to the age of 11 as well as having a nursery for children who turn 4 during that school year. The house is within a level walk of the school. There are playing fields and a children's play area managed by Marlow Bottom Playing Fields Association adjacent to the school. Secondary schooling, again highly regarded, is slightly further afield in Marlow or High Wycombe. The renowned Rebellion Brewery is a local treasure.
Marlow is an historic and exclusive town on the River Thames which has an abundance of cafes, bars, restaurants, boutiques and interior design shops. The Ivy, Tom Kerridge's pub The Coach and The Hand and Flowers are just a few of the gastronomic delights on offer in a town that seems to have been built for food, drink and leisure. On the bank of the Thames, Higginson Park boasts arguably the best children's play area for miles around The park is also host to Regattas, farmers markets, concerts and Tom Kerridge's "Pub in the Park" event. Just a few minutes drive away, you have the town of High Wycombe which offers larger supermarkets, all the mainstream High Street brands, cinemas, theatre and leisure facilities.
For those of you who need to commute into London - the train stations in Marlow, High Wycombe and Maidenhead are all within an easy drive and provide train services to London Marylebone and London Paddington. For the road network, you have easy access to the M4 and M40.
