Property Description
Located at the end of a quiet private cul de sac in the village of Marham, The Marlowes is a beautifully presented home that offers far more than conventional living. Designed to adapt to a range of lifestyles, it blends generous living space with thoughtful details that support family life, remote working, and quiet retreat. Backing directly onto open countryside, the property enjoys uninterrupted views across the Nar Valley, best appreciated from the Juliet balcony in the second bedroom.
The home has been carefully enhanced by its current owners over the past two decades, balancing comfort, character and practicality. The lounge features a welcoming open fireplace and bespoke bi fold doors that open into a bright conservatory, re roofed in glass in 2024 and covered by a 10-year guarantee. This space brings in natural light and connects effortlessly with the garden, creating a smooth transition between inside and out. The dining area flows seamlessly into a well equipped kitchen, complete with a filtered water tap, under cabinet lighting and a Calor gas hob. Every element has been considered with usability in mind.
Upstairs, the layout is designed for flexibility. The fourth bedroom serves well as a home office, while the third has been transformed into a dedicated studio space. All bedrooms are light filled and peaceful, with the principal rooms enjoying countryside views that shift beautifully with the seasons. The interior also includes a part boarded loft in the main house with an integrated ladder and lighting, and understairs storage with a built in vacuum charger point.
Externally
The rear garden is a standout feature of the property. Landscaped for privacy and ease of use, it offers a pergola for relaxed mornings, decking for summer gatherings, and a garden room for year round enjoyment. A bespoke garden studio or summer house, fully powered and heated, adds a versatile space ideal for remote working, creative projects or simply unwinding. Additional external features include a garage with power, lighting and boarded loft storage, a small workshop with power, lighting and a workbench, as well as a lean to storage area also fitted with lighting and power. Security and garden lighting are thoughtfully arranged with PIR control and spotlights to ensure both safety and ambiance.
