A exceptional four-bedroom character cottage on one of Marlow's prettiest streets, perfect for the High Street, the station and the river Thames. Garaging and a lovely walled garden.
A Grade II-listed cottage situated in the heart of Marlow, The Minnows offers character, beautifully appointed interiors and a great setting. The cottage is believed to be 18th century and forms an attractive terrace with the neighbouring houses, and from the front of the house it's possible to view the slipway leading down to the river. In a corner position, the cottage is accessed from the side, creating a lovely courtyard space at the front as well as the generous town garden to the rear. The interiors have been beautifully updated in a style that suits the age of the property, with vibrant wall coverings, panelling and textures complementing the fabulous beamed ceilings, exposed timber detailing and open fireplaces.
The layout is well planned and includes two good-size reception rooms, with a sitting room at the front of the house and a drawing room to the rear leading out to the garden. In the centre, the spacious kitchen and dining room is well equipped with good storage and an AGA range cooker, and there is a useful cloakroom with WC.
Upstairs there are three generously sized bedrooms with built-in storage, including a principal suite with an en suite shower room. Both the family bathroom and en suite have underfloor heating while a smaller fourth bedroom is currently set up as a home office.
The Minnows is entered from the side of the house on Fishermans Retreat; the detached double garage is situated further along the road at the end of the garden. At the front, a charming courtyard area has been created alongside the pavement, with iron railings separating the house from the pavement. The rear garden is a wonderfully peaceful, walled space to the rear of the house featuring a paved terrace, a storage room and a good-size lawn with borders to either side leading to the garage, where there is an access door.
