This chalet-style detached bungalow sits on a large, gently sloping plot in popular Squirrel Rise, Marlow Bottom — a short five-minute walk to Burford School and village amenities. The house offers bright principal reception rooms, a long tiered rear garden with woodland outlook, and private driveway parking plus a single garage. The property is freehold, double-glazed and set in a very low-crime, affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The bungalow requires full modernisation throughout and the boiler is not working; buyers should expect renovation costs and possible updating of services. There is clear scope to extend or redevelop (subject to planning permission), making this a good opportunity for a growing family to create a long-term home or for a purchaser seeking value through refurbishment.
Practical details support everyday life here: main heating is gas boiler and radiators (currently non-functioning), council tax is Band E, and there is no flooding risk. Constructed in the late 1960s–1970s with filled cavity walls, the property presents straightforward structural character but will need interior overhaul to reach contemporary standards.
For families, the proximity to highly ranked local schools, woodland walks and village facilities provides strong lifestyle appeal. For buyers focused on potential, the combination of plot size, location and permitted-development possibilities offers scope to add significant value, subject to planning and refurbishment budget.
