Glenmead, Quarrywood Road, Marlow, SL7 1RE

This house is a fine example of its time in the Georgian Revival style, with elegant stucco elevations, sash windows and a portico entrance, with the interiors extensively modernised and improved to create a stylish yet fully functional home.

An extensive programme of renovations has transformed the interior of this exceptional home, including a new kitchen and bathrooms and full cosmetic redecoration throughout.

The décor is modern and elegant, with neutral tones, wood floors and character details which complement the age of the house.

A highlight is the kitchen, with its handmade cabinetry and brass hardware, premium appliances and commanding views over the river from the adjoining family room.

The drawing room also offers a fabulous aspect over the gardens and the Thames, and is an excellent size for entertaining, with an adjoining bar for special occasions.

There’s also a formal dining room at the front of the house. Ancillary accommodation includes a laundry room, boot room, plant room and temperature controlled wine cellar.

The bedrooms are situated over the first and second floors, comprising a principal bedroom with dressing room and en-suite bath/shower room, three further en-suite bedrooms and a study on the first floor, and two additional en-suite bedrooms, a sitting area and store on the second floor.

The detached building to the rear of the garage incorporates a gym, shower room and games room, but offers excellent scope as guest or staff accommodation.

From the house there are beautiful views from all angles, over the river, Lock Island, the weir and Marlow Church.

Outside The beautifully landscaped grounds amount to just under an acre and are extremely private, with mature hedges to the front providing a natural boundary.

The front garden is home to the full-size tennis court, complete with its own pavilion, separated from the lawn by a colonnaded walkway supporting an attractive climber; there is also an impressive wisteria growing over the front elevations of the house.

The lawns lead alongside and to the rear of the house, where there is a sizeable terrace, culminating in the fenced bank of the river where there is a 150 ft long deep mooring.
