Description

Moments from the centre of Marlow, this end-of-terrace Victorian cottage would make a great choice for a first-time buyer or as a buy-to-let investment. The cottage has retained a number of characterful features including wood floors and the original brick chimney breast, now inset with a modern wood-burning stove, and a further brick fireplace. The house is well presented though would benefit from modernisation, providing the new owner with the exciting opportunity to decorate as they would like.

The accommodation is arranged in the traditional layout: a reception room with a large window at the front of the house, a further reception room open plan to the galley-style kitchen, and a family bathroom and store room at the rear. Upstairs there are two generous double bedrooms and a third smaller bedroom at the rear which is accessed through one of the other bedrooms. It would make a great study, nursery or dressing room.

The house is situated just around the corner from Marlow’s train station, making it an ideal choice for the rail commuter. There is a side gate which leads from the small front garden alongside the house to the rear, where there is an enclosed courtyard-style garden which is laid to low-maintenance astroturf.
