Marlow Common, Marlow, SL7

Mulberry House stands in a gently elevated position within private grounds of 1.42 acres, on the edge of Marlow Common. The house has been significantly extended and improved by our clients to create a generous family home of approaching 5000 sq ft, and beautifully presented throughout. The property is entered via an impressive central galleried hallway, where there is an immediate atmosphere of calm, enhanced by the clever use of decorative tones and lighting. As you move through the house, this theme continues, blending practical and generous proportions with elegant, stylish décor.

Of particular note is the fabulous kitchen, which forms the heart of the home, complete with a luxurious central island for informal dining and a separate, more formal dining area, full length glazed doors fold back and step out onto the terrace. An impressive large study and a separate family room lead off the kitchen, creating a well-balanced arrangement of living spaces. The drawing room opens onto the terrace and leads down to the lower floor, where there is a fully equipped cinema room.

On the first and upper floors, all bedroom suites are beautifully appointed and enjoy wonderful views over the grounds and rolling countryside. The principal suite also opens onto a delightful private sun deck. All the principal rooms on both floors enjoy spectacular views over the gardens, with glimpses of beautiful woodland and the surrounding countryside beyond.

Outside, the grounds are thoughtfully curated to make the most of the beautiful surroundings. Stepping out from the kitchen or drawing room onto a large terrace there is a heated swimming pool fitted with a retractable child proof cover. Beyond, the lawn sweeps down from the terrace, with the lower part of the garden left to encourage wildflowers, alongside a selection of beautiful specimen trees that blend seamlessly with the landscape.

Separate from the main house is attractive oak-framed garaging, which incorporates a self-contained studio/annexe.
