Located in the heart of sought after Marsworth village, this spacious, individual property actually started life as a four bedroom house. Today, it is remodelled into a home with three large double upstairs bedrooms, the master having a spacious new ensuite, and boasting a new luxury family bathroom, while still providing a fourth bedroom/study on the ground floor. There is no doubt the 2,125 sqft of light, bright accommodation feels decadently spacious.
Constructed in 1969, Merrivale boasts much of what was admirable about architectural design of the era; large windows, generously proportioned rooms and a real fireplace are all to be found here, along with beautiful hardwood joinery and a sizeable, mature garden which wraps around the house.
Whilst the property has been the subject of extensive upgrading by the current owner, a modest amount of final refurbishment work is now required to complete the renovation of this lovely home to suit the wants and tastes of the new owners.
Inside, a large, welcoming hallway leads through to three separate reception rooms, all of which have an open, light, and airy feel, thanks to their picture windows. The 20ft sitting room is located to the western side of the house and features a conservatory to the rear. The sizable study/bedroom four has views across Vicarage Road to open fields at the end of Stepnells, and both the dining room and kitchen enjoy views of the expansive, flat rear garden. The kitchen is a good size and large enough to accommodate a table and chairs, whilst adjacent there is also a surprisingly large utility room. Last but not least, the ground floor also benefits from a cloakroom.
Upstairs, the property has an impressive landing, along with the three large double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has its own, recently finished ensuite shower room, while the equally modern and generous family bathroom serves the other two bedrooms.
Outside, the main rear garden measures approximately 60ft wide. Enjoying a south-westerly aspect, it is laid to lawn, with a large patio. There is gated side access to both sides of the house. There are also two outbuildings: a brick-built boiler house, and a detached recently refurbished annexe building. The annexe provides a further 219 sqft of accommodation – ideal as a home office or guest accommodation - and comes with plumbing in place to add an ensuite shower room.
To the eastern side of the house, a generous additional strip of grassed land is included with the sale, affording a wide range of opportunities for use.
A good-sized driveway is located to the front of the house which, together with the garage, provides ample parking for a number of cars.
In all, the plot extends to approximately 0.2 acre.
Planning permission was granted for this already generous and wonderful property to add a loft extension and rear ground floor extension, and the property has excellent potential for further development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
Merrivale is also located within the catchment area for the Aylesbury grammar schools.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
