A pretty Thames-side cottage in the highly desirable village of Temple in Marlow, with a private mooring at the bottom of the riverside gardens.
With a very special setting backing onto a quiet stretch of the river Thames, this semi-detached cottage is the perfect escape. The house is situated in the highly regarded village of Temple, where life is mostly centred around the river, yet just two miles from Marlow and its station and closer still to the A404 dual carriageway which connects to the M40 and M4 motorways. The charming home is attractively presented in neutral tones with a number of character features; it has been well maintained though is a little dated internally and would benefit from cosmetic modernisation providing the perfect project for the new owner.
A glazed porch opens to an entrance hall, a storage cupboard and a cloakroom with WC, with the rest of the ground floor open plan, making it feel fantastically bright and light-filled. At the front of the house, a kitchen leads to a dining area and the sitting area at the rear, where there are French windows opening to the lovely garden. Upstairs the two double bedrooms are a good size: the principal bedroom is en suite and also has its own private balcony. There is also a further family bathroom.
The semi-detached cottage is approached via a paved driveway with space for two cars, bordered by a tree and a bank of lavender. A side gate leads to the rear garden which offers a stunning reveal, with the long garden leading down to the banks of the river Thames, over which there are beautiful views. Mature trees and hedges to either side create privacy around the patio terrace, which is a delightful spot for enjoying dining alfresco in the warmer months. There is also a separate paved area on the riverbank where there is also a mooring.
