DESCRIPTION: Described as a little piece of paradise by Country Homes & Interiors, set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is this unique small estate of cottage and annexe with outbuilding. Inspired by the location and setting within this small valley only 3 miles from Marlow, this period thatched house has been stylishly and creatively redesigned, to offer a significant modern interior. Surrounded by nearly 3 acres of land and gardens, the house has comfortable and light space, yet retains the character of the property, such as the oak beams and thatch. Reflecting the present owners origins, the house cleverly blends a New England and French style with a palette of pale colours, stripped beams, painted shutters and wood flooring. With the accommodation principally laid out over the ground floor, the accommodation is more akin to loft or apartment living. A separate one bedroom annexe provides ideal guest or staff accommodation. Entry into the house leads into a vaulted and beamed living space, the home hub, around which the rest of the accommodation flows. A cleverly designed reception room, with seating around the inglenook fireplace, dining space and a Bulthaup fully fitted kitchen with breakfast bar. Stairs lead from here up into a glassed galleried study above. The flexible bedroom accommodation affords the house up to five bedrooms, but is currently used as two principal suites with a guest suite in the selfcontained annexe. The third bedroom is currently used as the family room, an ideal private space for relaxing, supported by the adjacent family bathroom and separate cloakroom, for visiting guests. The master suite has been designed with indulgence in mind, with a vaulted beamed ceiling, Italian marble to the en suite bathroom and a walk in dressing room. The second bedroom suite has a full en suite bathroom and separate shower. The adjacent annexe matches the style and construction of the main house and offers a bedroom, bathroom, utility room and integral single garage that could be converted into additional reception space. In a similar style is the separate single garage and store room. The flexibility of the overall accommodation affords a variety of uses and the house has easily evolved from one couple s indulgent retreat to an active family home. SITUATION: The property is situated to the north of Marlow which offers a range of amenities including a comprehensive range of shops, excellent pubs and restaurants and riverside walks. Marlow Station has a train service to London Paddington via Maidenhead (from 1hr 5mins). Both Maidenhead and High Wycombe offer regular train services to London (Paddington and Marylebone) with links to the City of London, further enhanced when

Crossrail opens in Maidenhead in 2018. Access to the M4 and M40 is via the A404(M) and London Heathrow is around 25 miles away. There is a wide range of educational and recreational facilities in the area. Excellent local schools are numerous and include Sir William Borlase in Marlow, Eton College and Wycombe Abbey. GARDEN & GROUNDS: The house is approached from a private road and has four neighbours who form part of the original Bluey s Farm. Its large circular driveway has adjoining lawns and is entered via a five bar gate. Well screened by mature laurel hedges and a row of white beam trees, the house enjoys a high level of privacy. To the rear of the house is a dining terrace, running the full width of the house, with steps leading up to the banked lawns that reach the paddock. Bounded by post and rail fence it extends up the hill and affords a beautiful vista from the rear of the house. Opposite the entrance to the house is additional woodland that completes the acreage of the property.
