Set in a wonderful semi-rural position with three acres of land, yet being just 3 miles from Marlow's town centre, is this superb family home benefitting from planning permission to extend.
This beautiful detached property is set is a lovely position, semi-rural in nature yet with attractive neighbouring houses providing the perfect blend of rurality without isolation. The current owners have created a striking and characterful family home, a good size property yet with the distant benefit of having planning permission in place to further enlarge the house.
The handsome cottage-style home sits in a generous plot with stunning grounds, stables and idyllic views of the surrounding countryside. The design of the home best makes use of the plot, with the main living room and kitchen to the rear of the house leading out onto the garden. The property feels bright and airy with lovely views from all the windows.
The layout is well-proportioned with a choice of reception rooms to meet the busy demands of family life. A particular highlight is the stunning sitting room, featuring a triple aspect, log burner and French doors to the garden. The country-style kitchen/dining room is complete with dual aspect windows, Aga and French doors with large windows overlooking the garden and paddock.
The accommodation comprises an inviting entrance hall with a cloakroom leading to a family room, separate sitting room and a kitchen/dining room with adjoining utility room providing rear access. Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys built-in wardrobes and en suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, one with a dual aspect, and a family bathroom.
Outside
The impressive property is located at the end of a no-through lane behind wooden gates with fencing and established hedging. There is a spacious gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles and access to a store room. The formal gardens to the house are mostly laid to lawn, with trees, shrubs, gravel and two large paved terraces, perfect for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the beautiful setting. The home also benefits from two paddocks, a block of three stables, store room and a home office. In all the property occupies about 3.3 acres.
Planning Permission
Whilst the home already provides good family accommodation and a lovely layout, the sellers have in place consented planning permission for two extensions; one double-storey extension to the rear, and one double-storey extension to the side to convert and extend above the garage. Therefore if a buyer decided to undertake this work it would provide a very substantial replacement kitchen in the newly-enlarged rear space (leading out onto the garden), a new enlarged living room, and an expanded first floor to provide a spacious principle bedroom suite and a fifth bedroom or study. Further information can be found on Wycombe's planning portal under reference: 21/08709/FUL
