Believed to date from the early 1900s, 8 Marlowe Road is a handsome Edwardian property constructed with brick elevations beneath a slate roof. Extending to just over 1,500 sq ft and arranged over three floors, the house offers well-proportioned accommodation characteristic of the period, with generous room sizes and high ceilings throughout. Since its purchase in 2005, the property has benefited from a comprehensive programme of restoration and improvement, most recently including the addition of a ground floor rear extension and creation of a fifth bedroom. As a result, the house successfully combines period character with modern practicality, presenting a turnkey opportunity for prospective purchasers while still offering scope to personalise the interiors to individual tastes.
The property is set back from the road behind a low level brick wall underplanted with mature shrubs and small paved area.
The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private outdoor retreat, perfectly suited to modern family life. Attractive paved terraces provide space for al fresco dining and entertaining, while mature trees and established planting soften the boundaries and contribute to a wonderful sense of privacy. The garden is designed for ease of maintenance and incorporates a dedicated hot tub area, creating an inviting space to relax and enjoy throughout the year. Gated pedestrian access at the end of the garden, leads to a passageway over which the property has right of way.
