4 bed country house for sale

Temple Lane, Marlow SL7

Tithe Barn Cottage is a beautifully renovated period home in a particularly special setting close to the River Thames and historic Bisham Abbey. Dating from the 18th century, the house sits within an area with a fascinating history stretching back centuries. The wider Bisham Abbey site is recognised by Historic England as an important monastic and manorial complex. The home is private, peaceful and not overlooked by neighbouring homes.

The property has been extensively renovated in recent years, retaining the character and individuality of the original building while creating a stylish and very comfortable family home. The accommodation extends to approximately 2,748 sq ft and has a wonderful sense of space, with plenty of natural light and lovely views of the river and surrounding countryside.

At the heart of the house is the impressive open-plan kitchen, breakfast and family room, with its large light well and bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden. It is a fantastic everyday living and entertaining space, complemented by a separate sitting room with feature fireplace, dining room and study, giving plenty of flexibility for family life and working from home.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are well proportioned, with the main bedroom enjoying its own en suite, together with three further double bedrooms and beautifully finished bathrooms.

One of the real highlights of Tithe Barn Cottage is its outside space. The house and gardens enjoy a south-westerly aspect, making the most of the sunshine throughout the day. The landscaped gardens provide a wonderful backdrop to the house, with the swimming pool creating a fabulous space for entertaining and relaxing through the summer months. There is also a detached garage and driveway parking.

The location is equally appealing. Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre is approximately 200 metres away, while the River Thames and beautiful riverside and countryside walks are virtually on the doorstep. Despite the peaceful, semi-rural feel, Marlow is only around a mile downstream and offers an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants, alongside everyday amenities.

There is a good choice of schooling in the wider area, including Sir William Borlase's Grammar School and Great Marlow School, as well as a number of highly regarded independent schools.

For commuters, Marlow station provides rail services to Maidenhead, with connections to London Paddington and the Elizabeth Line, while the nearby A404 gives convenient access to the M4 and M40.

Tithe Barn Cottage is a rare combination of history, character and contemporary living, with a sunny south-westerly garden, swimming pool and beautiful surroundings, yet within easy reach of everything Marlow has to offer.
