Gossmore Lane, Marlow, Buckinghamshire, SL7

A modern and deceptively spacious detached home near the river and station, with well-presented interiors and a lovely layout.

Description

Well placed for enjoying the many attractions of Marlow, this detached home, originally built in the 1960s, has been thoughtfully extended into the first floor and tastefully reconfigured to suit modern living. Redecorated throughout, the property now offers a stylish and contemporary interior, combining the charm of its original character with the comfort and functionality of a modern home. Neutral colours, complementary wood effect floors and good natural light gives the layout an open, airy feel.

The layout is flexible in use, currently arranged downstairs with two separate reception rooms, an open plan kitchen and dining room (large enough for a seating area too) opening to the rear garden, a utility room and a cloakroom with WC. A ground floor bedroom with en suite offers flexibility, easily serving as a fifth bedroom with a built-in wardrobe or as an additional reception room if preferred. Upstairs there is a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A galleried landing with a large laundry cupboard and a tinted feature window overlooking the park at the front—an ideal space that could be adapted into a study or home office.

The house overlooks Gossmore Recreation Ground, offering views of the park, playing fields, and glimpses of the River Thames. It is accessed via a driveway that leads to a link-detached single garage. To the front, a pretty lawned garden is bordered by shrubs along the house and there are hedges to the side for privacy. The secure rear garden is also lawned and is enclosed by wooden panel fencing and mature shrubs. An new elevated decking terrace overlooks the garden and provides an inviting space to sit and dine outside.
