The Old Boathouse represents a unique opportunity to acquire a high-quality detached riverside home in a truly outstanding location, enjoying a fantastic outlook across the River Thames to Higginson Park and a wide mooring of over 60’. Re-built & re-modelled by the present owner to a high specification to create, in our opinion, a superb ‘lock up & leave’ second home, or weekend retreat, single/couple or downsizer. Situated in a sheltered private lane, close to Marlow Rowing Club & the Compleat Angler hotel, within a two-minute walk across Marlow Bridge into Higginson Park or Marlow High Street.
Tenure:
The house & gardens and mooring immediately behind the property are freehold, whereas the additional mooring adjoining is on a 999-year lease from June 1995. The large driveway area at the front is shared on a lease with the three properties of Waters Edge and The Old Boathouse.

Located within a few hundred yards of the High Street with its array of individual shops, cafes & restaurants including ‘The Ivy Marlow Garden’, Tom Kerridge’s ‘The Coach’, and the renowned 2 Michelin Star ‘The Hand & Flowers’ both in West Street, as well as Atul Kochhar’s ‘Sindhu’ at the Compleat Angler. The Court Gardens Leisure complex is within 500 yards and Sir William Borlase Grammar School, in West Street, within 1⁄2 mile. Marlow Station and Business Park are within a 10–15-minute level walk.
Local leisure facilities include tennis, hockey, cricket & bowls clubs all in Pound Lane, golf at Harleyford & Temple, rowing at Marlow Rowing club, walking riding & cycling in the Hambleden Valley, and the National Sports Centre at Bisham Abbey.
