Occupying an exceptional riverside position with a private mooring and private garden, this is a particularly spacious and highly appealing apartment.
Three Gables is a handsome Victorian house, built circa 1880, occupying an idyllic riverside position adjacent to Marlow Lock. The house has since been thoughtfully converted into three individual apartments, with Flat 1 occupying the ground floor and retaining many of the building’s characterful original features, including exposed beams, leaded-light windows and a fireplace. The Thames Path and surrounding green spaces are moments away, while the flat's riverside garden and private mooring provide an exceptional setting with views towards All Saints Church and Marlow Bridge.
Extending to approximately 1,694 sq ft, the apartment combines generous accommodation with a wonderful connection to the river and gardens. The main entrance hall belongs to Flat 1 up to the beginning of the stairs and also the lockable storage space under the stairs. The inner entrance hall leads to the modern fitted kitchen with smart Shaker-style cabinetry, light ceramic worktops, a central island and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, double oven and induction hob. The adjacent dual-aspect morning room/dining room enjoys river views and features Karndean tiled flooring beneath a lofty double-height ceiling with exposed beams. A private study lies at one end, while sliding doors open onto a charming terrace, creating a natural connection with the garden and river.
The sitting room is particularly characterful, with high ceilings, parquet flooring and an elegant open fireplace providing a cosy focal point. A large leaded-glazed window opens into a light-filled conservatory, where twin French doors lead onto the gardens.
The principal bedroom is a generous dual-aspect room with glazed doors onto a terrace, attractive parquet flooring and a panelled ceiling. Fitted wardrobes provide ample storage, and, to one side, there is a walk-in shower and vanity unit. The second bedroom features a bay window and built-in wardrobes with a useful fitted pull-down Murphy double bed. A smart shower room and a utility room with washing machine, tumble drier and hanging space, completes the accommodation.
Outside
Three Gables has a distinctive Tudor Revival-style façade, with black timbering set against painted panels, and sharp gables beneath a clay-tiled roof, with unusual ornate corbelled chimneys. The flat benefits from two leased allocated parking spaces, situated to the front and has right of way from the garage over Marlow Mill land.
The private rear gardens are a particular highlight, creating a wonderfully peaceful setting beside the river. A terrace beneath the upper elevation provides a sheltered place to sit at the water’s edge, with steps descending to a private mooring. A rose arch leads through to a further block-paved terrace, linking the conservatory and principal bedroom and providing a secluded spot for al fresco dining and relaxation.
The leafy gardens are laid to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs including apple tree, plums and raspberry canes, creating privacy and year-round colour and interest. A summerhouse provides useful storage and a sheltered spot from which to enjoy the tranquil gardens. Together with the river views and private mooring, they make this a truly special and characterful home.
