The property is set in a perfect semi-rural position between Bovingdon Green and Marlow Common, ideal for those who want the best of both worlds being both rural in feel yet convenient for the town centre.

Description

Set adjacent to the beautiful woodland and walking paths of Marlow Common is this spacious and thoughtfully laid out family home. The substantial residence has been subject to an extensive programme of improvements, beginning in 2016, including a loft conversion to create the first floor and the addition of a detached annexe. The latter provides excellent versatility as accommodation for an au pair, older children or grandparents, or as an income generator. Equally it could be used very comfortably by those looking for a home office.

The detached home is built in a modern villa-style being predominantly single storey, yet at the same time feeling like a spacious and grand home and its sunny yellow hue is reminiscent of holidays on the continent, with its outdoor dining spaces further adding to the holiday feel. Internally, the décor is presented to an exceptional standard and decorated in soothing neutral colours, making it easy to personalise by the new owner. The ground floor comprises an inviting entrance hall leading to the vast reception room, kitchen with attached pantry and utility room, sitting room and WC. In a separate wing there are four good-size bedrooms including a principal suite with dressing room and bathroom, a jack and jill bathroom, shower room and study. Upstairs there is a further bedroom and a bathroom and a separate study.

Cherry Orchard is situated opposite an area of woodland, with a gated entrance opening to a long driveway leading through formal lawns to the house and its good-size gravel parking area, which has space for several cars and access to an attached single garage. The long, attractively landscaped garden is entirely enclosed by mature hedging and is attractively landscaped with mature trees, well-stocked borders and paved paths providing interest. There are plenty of spaces to sit and enjoy the views: a terrace adjoining the house, an open-sided seating area and a timber summerhouse.
