Property description
A charming, well presented four-bedroom character cottage in the heart of Little Marlow, overlooking the cricket pitch. With a fabulous garden and a double garage.
Description
Situated close to the centre of this ever-popular village, next door to the village pub and overlooking the manicured cricket pitch, Greengates is a delightful Grade ii-listed cottage dating back to the early 19th century. The brick cottage was originally the village bakery and is traditionally appointed, featuring a variety of original elements, including wood fireplaces, exposed beams, solid wood doors and a pretty bow window. There’s fantastic scope to modernise the home while keeping its considerable character, evidence of which has been retained by the vendors and will be passed onto the new owners.
The layout of the house is arranged over three floors, beginning with cellars on the lower ground floor which are ideal for storage. On the ground floor, the house is entered onto the dining room, with its bow window, which leads to a study, kitchen, and cloakroom with utility area. To the rear, within a single storey extension, there is a spacious sitting room overlooking the gardens and the fourth bedroom, which could additionally be used as a home office or playroom. The first floor has three good-size bedrooms, one en suite, and a family bathroom.
Outside
The cottage is set within beautifully landscaped gardens, which extend mostly to the south side of the house and are well enclosed by mature trees, making it feel very private. To the front of the house there is a low wall and a pedestrian gate separating an inviting patio area from the road, with a further pedestrian gate further along for access to the main garden. This is deceptively large, with a good-size central lawn, an area of raised beds stocked with a huge variety of bedding plants and shrubs for year-round colour and interest, a lily pond and a garden store. A detached double garage is accessed to the rear of the garden and is approached over a private parking area.
