About this property

  • 16 Chiltern Road enjoys an elevated position at the end of this quiet no-through road on the northern edge of Marlow, with views back across the town and further afield. The property backs onto open countryside and there is an excellent network of footpaths locally; the setting feels deceptively rural, as the house is just half a mile from the top of Marlow's thriving High Street.

    The house was previously a bungalow and was extended in 2010 to create a spacious home over two levels. The house has been well maintained and it is attractively presented in a modern, neutral style, yet also has fantastic potential for further improvement if desired.

    The layout is versatile to suit a the needs of it's next owner, providing anything up to four bedrooms or four reception rooms depending on how each of the spaces are utilised. The current owner has the home arranged three double bedrooms and three reception spaces, providing a great balance of accommodation.

    The heart of the house is the central, open plan, reception kitchen space which is a large 28ft x 21ft room with vaulted ceiling, opening out onto the rear garden. This welcoming space provides for a kitchen, everyday dining space and a family/sitting area. This is bright and spacious room with atrium window overlooking the garden. There is a separate formal sitting room to the front of the house, and a further reception room used as a formal dining room. This space could equally be used as a fourth bedroom or guest room if desired. The other three double bedrooms are complemented by two bathrooms, each with separate bath and shower facilities, and one of which is en suite to the main bedroom on the first floor. Additional spaces include a really useful study area on the first floor, a utility room off the kitchen, and detached outbuildings including a summer house and good size garage.

    The house has parking in front of the detached garage, in addition to on a separate tarmac driveway. The house also benefits from solar panels and an electric vehicle charging point.

    There are gardens front and back that are well established and stocked with a variety of mature trees, shrubs and bedding plants, making the outside spaces feel fantastically colourful. The rear garden is arranged over different levels, including a very private paved courtyard area, parcels of lawn, a number of flowerbeds and vegetable plots and a summerhouse with its own separate terrace at the rear.

I love the flexibility of this house - the accommodation can be easily suited to anyone's needs.
