Summary - Long Marston Road, Marsworth HP23 4NF
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Character-filled four-bedroom home with expansive grounds and waterside views.
Approximately 1.25-acre plot with paddock and canal frontage
This former lock cottage occupies about 1.25 acres, including landscaped gardens, a meandering stream and a large paddock — rare canal-side space perfect for family recreation, smallholding or equestrian use. The detached house combines generous rooms and period character with practical outbuildings: a double garage, workshop and brick stores provide substantial storage and hobby space.
Inside are four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and a fitted kitchen with utility room. The principal bedroom has an en-suite; the sitting room features a wood-burning stove and dual-aspect canal views. The house has been sympathetically extended and modernised in parts while retaining fireplaces and other character details that suit countryside living.
Practical considerations: the property uses oil-fired boiler heating (main fuel) alongside a modern air-source heating system; buyers should check current systems and running costs. Walls are original solid brick with no assumed insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so further thermal upgrades could be beneficial. Broadband in the village is very slow — important for home workers despite excellent mobile signal.
Overall this is a substantial, characterful family home in an affluent, low-crime village setting with striking canal and Chiltern views. It suits buyers seeking rural lifestyle space and potential to improve energy efficiency, storage, or outbuilding use rather than those wanting a fully plug-and-play, low-maintenance property.
