3 bed cottage for sale

Temple, Marlow SL7

Riverside Period Gem: An Exquisite 3 double bedroom, Thames-Side Residence
Tucked away like a forgotten treasure in a peaceful cul-de-sac at the end of Temple Lane sits this exceptional three-bedroom 19th century gem overlooking the majestic River Thames. This unique three-story cottage brilliantly balances historic charm with contemporary luxury following an extensive renovation that has transformed it into a truly remarkable family home.

Upon entering, you're welcomed by a large living room featuring stunning oak floors and a beautiful open fireplace - perfect for cozy winter evenings. The exceptional renovation continues into the open-plan kitchen-diner, where natural ceramic tiles flow seamlessly into the conservatory, creating a wonderful entertaining space filled with natural light. The solid oak shaker-style kitchen is a chef's dream with its sleek granite worktops, high-end integrated appliances, and cleverly concealed utility area.

The current owners have meticulously preserved original features while completely rebuilding from the brickwork up – installing cavity wall insulation, new double glazing throughout, and extending key living areas. The crowning achievement is the stunning loft conversion with full-height dormer now housing the primary bedroom suite, featuring double-aspect windows and a luxurious ensuite bathroom.

Two additional double bedrooms on the first floor share an elegant family bathroom. Defying the stereotypical cottage aesthetic, this home bathes in natural light throughout, creating bright, airy spaces across all three floors.

Outside, a large garage with pitched roof and loft storage provides ample space for vehicles and storage, plus additional parking. The well-matured garden offers impressive size and length, culminating in private mooring for one boat – providing direct access to the Thames for weekend adventures.

Located just five minutes' drive or boat ride from Marlow to Temple with easy access to Maidenhead's Elizabeth Line via the A404, making London commuting simple from Maidenhead, Marlow or High Wycombe - yet perfectly removed from the rat race, offering the perfect balance of connectivity and tranquility. Also, just a short walk (or boat trip) to Hurley across open fields - fantastic 12th century pub(The Bull Inn), lovely church and farm shop.
