The house enjoys a very large front driveway affording parking for several vehicles as well as a detached stand-alone double garage of timber construction, plus EV charger. The house is approached from a sheltered private driveway off Church Road serving just three individual properties, enjoying great privacy and tranquillity, close to open countryside in the Hambleden Valley, yet within a 10-minute drive of Marlow and within a 15-minute drive of Henley on Thames. For families, there are infant schools in the two nearby villages of Frieth & Lane End but at senior school level there is a wide selection with Sir William Borlase co-ed Grammar school & Great Marlow co-ed secondary school in Marlow, and John Hampden Grammar School for boys or Wycombe High School for girls in High Wycombe.
Location
The house is located virtually equidistant between the Chiltern villages of Lane End, which has essential daily shopping, and Frieth, which is a very pretty quintessential English village with Church, two pubs & village school. The bustling riverside town of Marlow has an extensive range of individual shops, cafes & restaurants including The Ivy Marlow Garden and Tom Kerridge's 'The Coach' & the renowned 2 Michelin Star 'The Hand & Flowers', both in West Street.
Marlow Station provides access to London Paddington (via Maidenhead with the recently opened Elizabeth line to central London). High Wycombe Station for London Marylebone is just over 7 miles, with the M40 motorway within easy reach at both J4 & J5, for London, Heathrow & Oxford.
The Hambleden valley offers great opportunities for walking, cycling & riding, whilst both Marlow & Henley offer a large range of leisure activities including clubs for tennis, hockey, cricket, bowls; golf at Harleyford, Temple, Henley & Badgemore Park; Marlow RFC & Marlow FC, Henley Hawks RFC; various fitness clubs & gymnasiums as well as The National Sports Centre at Bisham Abbey.
