Occupying a prominent corner position on Marlow Road and Wendover Road, Lamdens is a beautifully extended four-bedroom home that effortlessly blends period charm with practical family living. Set within a generous plot, the property has been lovingly cared for by the same family for over 40 years and offers a rare sense of warmth, history and character throughout.

From the moment you step inside, the home’s original features are immediately apparent.

The living space flows naturally through to a conservatory-style extension, now used as a bright and airy dining area, with views over the garden and an abundance of natural light.

Importantly, the property has been comprehensively maintained and updated over time, including a new roof, updated electrics, and a modern heating system, ensuring it is presented in excellent condition and ready for immediate occupation.

Outside, the walled garden is a standout feature. Enclosed by three sides of attractive brick and flint walling, it provides both privacy and character, creating a wonderful space for relaxing or entertaining. The property also benefits from a large garage, offering secure off-street parking and additional storage.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a generous principal suite with both a bath and separate shower.

The Seller Says

We searched for quite some time before finding Lamdens, but the moment we walked through the door, we just knew. Over the years, we’ve spent most of our time in the kitchen and dining space, especially in the conservatory, where you can sit and look out onto the garden. It’s such a peaceful spot.

The house has been wonderful for both family life and entertaining. We’ve been here for 46 years, raising our two boys and creating so many happy memories along the way. It’s a home that’s been carefully maintained and improved over time, but what’s always stood out is its character. As someone once said to us after visiting - ‘sehr gemütlich’ - it’s a home people immediately feel comfortable in, full of warmth and a genuine sense of welcome.
