For Sale6 Bedroom Detached House in Frieth Road, Marlow, SL7£2,500,000

A substantial and previously extended family home on a quiet, highly desirable development surrounded by open countryside, yet only a short distance from central Marlow. Beechwood enjoys an idyllic setting just over two miles from central Marlow, in an area of lovely countryside with trails on the doorstep directly accessible from the garden. The house forms part of a small, tucked away development of just six uniquely designed detached homes, all set behind mature greenery offering unparalleled levels of privacy while still benefitting from a community setting. Houses here rarely become available and are much sought after for their size, setting and seclusion. Beechwood is set within beautiful gardens and has lots of parking, a garage and annexe potential, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions. The layout of the house is perfect for entertaining, with five reception rooms and a conservatory on offer, and there are up to eight double bedrooms (two within an annexe) on both the ground and first floors, plus a family room perfect for children. The generously proportioned interiors extend to almost 5,000 sq ft, enlarged by a two-storey side extension. The original part of the house was built in the early 1990s and has character features including exposed beams, stained glass inserts, a vast inglenook fireplace and brick detailing. The interiors are elegant and traditionally appointed, with great scope to modernise further and personalise according to the new owners’ wishes. The house has a great layout for entertaining: a large reception hall opens to a vast open plan living area, with the sitting and dining rooms separated by woodburning stoves – it’s a fantastic room for big celebrations. There are a further two sitting rooms, a kitchen and an adjoining breakfast room and a conservatory, the latter facing onto the magnificent gardens. Also downstairs is a laundry room, WC and a double bedroom with en suite shower room, which could have potential as an annexe when combined with the garage or upstairs space (subject to permissions). Upstairs there is a principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a further ensuite bedroom, up to six additional bedrooms, a studio room which would make a brilliant playroom, and a family bathroom, shower room and separate WC. Outside Beechwood is set with attractive landscaped gardens in a plot of around two thirds of an acre, backing onto mature woodland, giving the outside space a wonderfully secluded feel. The gardens wrap around three sides of the house, comprising manicured lawns, well-stocked flowerbeds and borders, a water feature, a sizeable paved terrace and plenty of spaces to sit and enjoy the serenity. The garden is fully enclosed by fencing with an inset pedestrian gate providing access to a footpath leading to an extensive network of trails. There is also a summerhouse and a shed. The house is situated towards the end of Shillingridge Park and is approached over a good-size tarmac driveway offering plenty of private parking and access to the attached double garage. Situation Shillingridge Park is a sought-after cul de sac of just a handful of detached homes. The small development has excellent access to local footpaths, which connect with route through the Chiltern Hills. The road is surrounded by gorgeous countryside, yet Marlow town centre is approximately 2.4 miles to the south east, with its excellent range of shops, bars and restaurants catering for all tastes, including the popular Hand and Flowers Pub. There are many lovely walks along the river Thames and a great selection of schools including Holy Trinity and Sir William Borlase’s Grammar School. The Marlow bypass (A404) connects to the M40 in the north and M4 to the south providing easy access to Heathrow airport and the City. Marlow’s railway station links to the Elizabeth line at Maidenhead, with a station in High Wycombe for Marylebone. Additional Information Local Authority: Buckinghamshire Council. Council tax band H.
