House extension – High Beeches Close, Marlow Bottom, Buckinghamshire (2008)

The site of the proposed development is located at 9 High Beeches Close, Marlow Bottom, Buckinghamshire SL7 3PX.  It is located on the B482 Marlow Road, less than two miles from local amenities in the centre of Marlow and five miles from High Wycombe.  Commuters have easy and convenient access to the M40 which joins the M25 before continuing on into Central London.  Local residents have the benefit of the No. 800 bus route connecting High Wycombe with Reading via Shiplake and the No. 850 to Wargrave.

9 High Beeches is the site of a medium-sized detached family house typical of its period and in the style of other properties in the area.  The building footprint is currently 102.2 sq.m and it sits on a site of 495.0 sq.m while the proposed extension will increase the footprint to 131.2 sq.m. Accommodation is currently arranged over two floors, typical of the chalet-style of the property, and comprises entrance hall, living room, dining room, study, kitchen and wc on the Ground Floor with four bedrooms and a bathroom on the First Floor.  The only extension to the original building is a single-storey flat-roofed garage to the side of the property.  We believe this to follow the pattern of other original properties in the same road and wider area.
