Looking for a lovely family home close to local amenities and yet just a short stroll from open countryside? This 4 bedroom detached house offers versatile accommodation with fantastic entertaining space and it has a garden that backs directly onto woodland. No chain!

This is your opportunity to acquire a fantastic family home in a lovely location with the benefit of direct access into woodland at the rear. It really is perfectly positioned, within a level walk of the village amenities, school and open countryside and within a short drive of both Marlow town centre, High Wycombe and the M40. This is a large house that offers potential to reconfigure the layout to suit your lifestyle.

A few steps from the double garage take you up to a sunny front garden and the front door. The entrance hall, just like the rest of the house, is light and bright and offers plenty of space to leave your coats and shoes. Double doors then take you straight into the large and spacious living room that is flooded with light from the floor to ceiling windows at either end of the room. This room is a fantastic size with space for two or three large sofas and also a dining table, just in case you wanted to put the existing dining room to a different use. Glazed double doors take you straight out into the rear garden.

A door to the left takes you into a room that could be used as an office, a play room or even a 5th bedroom. Another door off the living room takes you into the dining room which is a long room with space for a good sized dining table.

At the far end of the living room, a door takes you through to the spacious, dual aspect kitchen that offers a large range of base units providing an abundance of storage and work surface space. The centre piece of this room is the stunning range cooker. There is also an integrated fridge freezer and an integrated dish washer. Again, there is an enormous amount of natural light provided by the large windows. A door from the kitchen takes you through to the spacious utility room where there is ample space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and the American style fridge freezer that is already plumbed in and is included within the sale, as well as considerable storage space.

Another door from the kitchen takes you through to a small lobby where there is a door providing access to the side of the house and another door to the all important and rather stylish downstairs cloakroom.

The staircase in the living room takes you up to the first floor landing from which you have access to the 4 bedrooms and family bathroom.

Bedroom 1 is a large bright double bedroom, neutrally decorated with wood laminate flooring and featuring a large built-in wardrobe. This room is at the front of the house and offers lovely views towards woodland on the other side of the valley.

Bedroom 2 is another good sized double bedroom, again with built-in storage but this time at the back of the house with views over the rear garden and to the woodland beyond.

Bedroom 3 is a slightly narrower double bedroom, also with built-in storage and situated at the front of the house. Bedroom 4 is a single at the rear of the house but also with built-in storage.

The family bathroom is beautifully finished and has a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail. Natural light is provided from the window to the rear elevation.

A ceiling hatch on the landing provides access to the partially boarded and fully insulated loft space.

To the front of the house, there is a large double garage fitted with an automatic door, so although there is no private driveway, you can pull straight into the garage, or park on the road immediately outside. The front garden comprises a patio area and a small area of lawn. There is access to the rear via a path down the side of the house.

To the rear, there is a tiered garden. A large patio accessed from the lounge provides a good seating area for alfresco dining and then a few steps take you up to a lovely sunny but secluded terrace where the current owners spend a great deal of time enjoying the peace and tranquillity of this end of Marlow Bottom. Further steps take you up to a nice area of lawn from which the views are even more spectacular. And then, of course, you have the gate into the woods, providing your kids with the chance to spend many an hour exploring.

The felt and tiles of the roof of the house have recently been replaced and insulation added to the loft. The house therefore benefits from a good energy performance rating.

Marlow Bottom is situated just outside Marlow, surrounded by open fields and woodland. The village offers a wide range of shops, a fish and chip shop and even an Italian restaurant. If schooling is important to you, the highly regarded Burford School is in the village for children up to the age of 11 as well as having a nursery for children who turn 4 during that school year. There are playing fields and a children's play area managed by Marlow Bottom
Playing Fields Association adjacent to the school. Secondary schooling, again highly regarded, is slightly further afield in Marlow or High Wycombe. The renowned Rebellion Brewery is a local treasure.

Marlow is an historic and exclusive town on the River Thames which has an abundance of cafes, bars, restaurants, boutiques and interior design shops. The Ivy, Tom Kerridge's pub The Coach and The Hand and Flowers are just a few of the gastronomic delights on offer in a town that seems to have been built for food, drink and leisure. On the bank of the Thames, Higginson Park boasts arguably the best children's play area for miles around The park is also host to Regattas, farmers markets, concerts and Tom Kerridge's "Pub in the Park" event. Just a few minutes drive away, you have the town of High Wycombe which offers larger supermarkets, all the mainstream High Street brands, cinemas, theatre and leisure facilities.

For those of you who need to commute into London - the train stations in Marlow, High Wycombe and Maidenhead are all within an easy drive and provide train services to London Marylebone and London Paddington. For the road network, you have easy access to the M4 and M40.
