Highly sought-after home in a private gated estate in the centre of town, with a garage, parking, private garden and no onward chain.

Description

Caius Cottage is an ideal property for those looking to live in a private low-maintenance residence within easy reach of the vibrant centre of Marlow. The house sits on the highly prized Wethered Park development, a gated estate less a few minutes walk from the High Street. The development is beautifully landscaped with the private homes set in a sweeping arc around a large sweeping communal lawn. The property is one of 45 homes on the development which occupy the former gardens of a listed Georgian building; part of the development is designed in a Georgian style, with the other part designed to resemble a Victorian street scene yet was built in the 1990s by renowned developer Charles Church.

Number 41 enjoys a corner position and would be ideal for downsizers or professionals. The property is attractively presented in neutral colours throughout which provide a blank canvas for personalisation by the new owner. The property offers about 1000 sq ft of space over two floors, with well-planned accommodation that maximises the available space and natural light, with the windows at the rear affording lovely views over the communal parkland-style grounds.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall with storage cupboard leading to a kitchen, separate utility room and a large front-to-rear dual aspect sitting and dining room, with fireplace and French windows opening to the rear garden. Upstairs there is a principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, a second double bedroom and an additional bathroom. The sellers purchased the property when it was brand new and at the time opted for a utility room on the ground floor as opposed to a cloakroom/WC. There are therefore options to easily remove the utility fixings and put in place a WC instead – for those who wish for a ground floor facility.

Wethered Park is situated in a conservation area and is set within eight acres of communal grounds including lawns, a lake, a gazebo and a children’s play area. The property has use of the communal grounds as well as a private walled courtyard-style garden to the rear, which is paved and has its own access gate to the wider estate. The rear garden faces West to make most of the afternoon and evening sunlight. There is a private good size garage along with an allocated parking space, in addition to visitor parking within the development.
