A charming Grade II Listed Victorian cottage set on the desirable west side of Marlow, this two-bedroom home combines original period detail with practical outdoor space. Panelled walls, fireplaces and a cottage façade give the house clear character, while a long front garden and an approximately 50ft private rear garden provide space for children, pets and outdoor entertaining. Driveway parking for 2–3 cars plus a garage is a rare convenience so close to the town centre.
The ground floor offers a separate lounge and dining room, fitted kitchen and a utility/garden room overlooking the rear garden. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a family bathroom within a compact 777 sq ft layout that will suit a small family, downsizers wanting character, or buyers seeking a well-located pied-à-terre. Fast broadband and easy pedestrian access to Marlow’s shops, riverside and highly regarded schools add practical everyday appeal.
Buyers should note this house’s Listed status — any alterations will require Listed Building consent and may limit modernisation options. The property’s solid brick construction means minimal wall insulation in its current form, so improving thermal performance will need specialist solutions. Council tax is above average for the area and local crime levels are reported as above average; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on these points.
Overall this is a characterful, well-situated cottage with good outdoor space and parking — ideal for buyers who prioritise location and heritage features and are prepared to manage listed-building constraints and upgrade works to improve energy efficiency.
