Luxurious family estate with panoramic valley and river views.
Seven bedrooms and six bathrooms across substantial accommodation
Highcrest House is a grand, contemporary country residence set on about 1.83 acres on the outskirts of Marlow, with sweeping views over the Thames Valley. The house sits into the hillside and is approached via electric gates along a long drive to a portico entrance. Principal reception rooms and several bedrooms open to an upper ground roof terrace that captures southerly views and extensive garden vistas.
Internally the home is designed for formal entertaining and comfortable family living. The impressive reception hall, drawing room and dining hall all display high ceilings and marble fireplaces; the bespoke kitchen features high-end appliances and a substantial breakfast bay. The principal suite includes an ornate dressing room with cedar-lined wardrobes and a Pentelic marble bathroom. A separate guest annexe with kitchenette and first-floor bedroom, and a double garage, add flexibility for guests or staff.
Outdoors the grounds are carefully landscaped with lawns, herbaceous borders, a wildflower meadow and a fruit orchard. A tiled terrace wraps the rear of the house, with a mosaic-tiled swimming pool, stone gazebo and multiple seating areas for alfresco living. The plot offers privacy and a rural aspect while remaining within easy reach of Marlow’s shops, restaurants and highly regarded schools.
Practical considerations include very expensive council tax and the ongoing upkeep typical of a large, high-spec estate. Mobile signal is average; broadband is fast. The property is freehold and sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with no flooding risk recorded.
