About this property
Duck Lane House enjoys a central setting within Marlow, a stone's throw from the town's popular pubs, restaurants and shops. The Georgian building was once used for external shots during the 1954 comedy film, Knock on Wood, and is a characterful building with a grand frontage and tall sash windows.
Internally, the property is elegantly presented, with neutral interiors, a stylish shaker-style kitchen, and a fabulously light-filled reception room. The layout has a good flow and the reception room opens onto the garden, creating a great space for entertaining in the warmer months. There is excellent scope for personalisation by the new owner, with the neutral décor providing a great blank canvas for improvements.
There is a shaker-style kitchen/breakfast area with an integrated oven, plus a separate dining room open plan to the reception hall. Upstairs, there is a well-sized principal bedroom with built-in storage, plus three other rooms, two of which also come with fitted wardrobes. A bathroom completes the accommodation.
There is on street parking available on St Peter Street, which requires a residents' permit. At the rear, a private paved courtyard-style garden is enclosed by brick walls and features mature trees providing a high degree of privacy, with a link to the front of the house via a pedestrian gate. The property also included a garage located to the rear on Fisherman's Retreat.
