Spinfield Lane West, Marlow, SL7

Constructed in 1992 in one of Marlow’s best addresses, Cobblers is a fine, detached house of substantial size offering ample accommodation, leisure facilities and attractively landscaped gardens. The house sits at the end of a peaceful lane in a very private setting, tucked away amongst its own secluded gardens and similar
grand, detached homes. The leafy surroundings provide a pleasant, green backdrop, with lovely views over the surrounding countryside, particularly from the rear. The house has been a much-loved family home and has been well maintained by the vendor. Internally the décor is well presented but there is still the opportunity to update the property if you desire to. Despite its relatively young age, a number of attractive features such as a brick inglenook fireplace, stained glass windows, a handsome solid wooden front door and an impressive matching staircase add immense character. The size and layout of the house lends itself well to growing families and entertaining, and with its generous living spaces it is well suited to multigenerational living. In addition, there is a studio apartment which ideally provides accommodation for an au pair or older children living at home. The 6,000 sq ft main house is arranged over four floors, taking advantage of the land contours to provide rear access to the garden on two levels from the both the ground and lower ground floors. Complementing the outdoor leisure facilities, the lower ground floor
is arranged as a games room and separate snooker room with full sized snooker table plus a storage room and shower/WC; this level could be easily converted to additional living space or a home gym. On the main floor, an inviting hallway leads to a dual aspect sitting room with open Inglenook fireplace, a separate formal dining room, a study/home office and a cloakroom with WC. The kitchen, with its adjoining breakfast area and family room, serves as the heart of the home and provides an informal area to relax. There is also a useful pantry and a utility room with space for washer and dryer. The five double bedrooms on the first floor are spacious, most with fitted storage, and include two en suites as well as a shared family bath/shower room. There is an additional spacious and carpeted attic space on the second floor.

Outside

Cobblers enjoys a most private position at the top of a quiet lane that leads off Spinfield Lane. The elevated setting provides far-reaching views to the rear over Marlow and towards the distant hills and woodland beyond. To the front, an imposing entrance opens to an impressive reveal of the house, set within attractive landscaped gardens with trees around the boundary which frame the house and its grounds. A generously sized blockpaved
driveway affords ample private parking and access to the adjoining garage wing, which
comprises a double garage with WC, a separate
large single garage and an attached workshop/
storage room, with an additional first floor area
above currently arranged as a studio apartment.
The rear garden is beautifully landscaped to include extensive flowerbeds, herbaceous borders, lawns and mature trees, which provide
a high degree of privacy. A raised terrace with
sun awnings, adjoining the back of the house,
is positioned to make the most of the fabulous
views to the rear and is ideal for breakfasts alfresco or evening drinks, with its favourable
south-easterly aspect. On a lower level to the main garden is the detached pool house, a fantastically modern construction housing a heated indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi and changing facilities with cloakroom and shower. With its glass roof and bifold doors on three sides it is a wonderfully light and airy space allowing swimming throughout the year, regardless of the weather. Separate to the swimming pool there is a fully enclosed hard
court tennis court complete with a pavilion and
viewing terrace.

Situation

Spinfield Lane West is a quiet residential road situated just off the Henley Road, in a highly convenient and desirable location. The Henley Road leads west out of Marlow towards Henley-on-Thames and is home to some of Marlow’s best addresses, including Tom Kerridge’s Hand & Flowers pub and a variety of substantial detached properties from a range of different eras. Further up the road there is access to gorgeous countryside and woodland, yet Marlow’s vibrant high street is less than one mile away. The town has an excellent range of shops, bars and restaurants catering for all tastes. There are many lovely walks along the river Thames. Marlow has a great selection of schools at all levels including Spinfield Primary School and Sir William Borlase’s Grammar School, both within easy walking distance of Cobblers. The Marlow bypass (A404) connects to the M40 in the north and M4 to the south providing easy access to Heathrow airport and
the City. Marlow’s railway station links to the Elizabeth line to central London at Maidenhead. A faster train into London goes from High Wycombe to Marylebone.
