A "magical" Victorian boathouse that featured in The Wind in the Willows has gone up for sale in Marlow - for £2 million. 

The three-bed boathouse, which was built around 1880, is on the banks of the River Thames in Quarry Wood Road. 

Bucks Free Press:

It has gone up for sale for the first time in a generation for at least £2 million.

Called Rippling Waters, the private gated boathouse was used in the films True Blue, a 1996 drama about the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, and an adaptation of the classic The Wind in the Willows. 

Bucks Free Press:

RiverHomes, who are marketing the house, say it is "lost in its own time capsule" and "exudes calm and tranquillity once you drive through the gates". 

They wrote: "Walking down flower bedecked trellised pathway, past a one bedroom studio with potential to reinstate a garage, this jewel rises majestically from the water.

Bucks Free Press:

"The ground floor features an enclosed mooring suitable for a 30 foot vessel with 10 foot ceiling height at normal tide, a small kitchen area, and shower room/toilet for garden entertaining.

"Upstairs there are two further bedrooms, a large reception room overlooking the river, galley kitchen and bathroom."

They are inviting offers of over £2 million. You can view the full listing on Zoopla here - www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/58673172/?search_identifier=263fc776e3d50b33ddf99c4e36f6ef76
