Ferry Lane — Ferry Lane

Monks Cottage is a delightful cottage positioned on the corner of an L-shaped terrace of Grade II-listed cottages, on one of the area’s most popular roads. Ferry Lane is a no-through lane of pretty, mostly character homes that leads down to the river Thames, in a highly desirable setting between Marlow and Henley. The cottages dates back to 1898 and were originally built as part of the Medmenham Abbey from whitewashed dressed chalk. The characterful appearance extends to decorative barge boards, wood mullioned windows and tall, brick Tudor-style chimneys. The ornate studded front door opens to an equally characterful interior, featuring built-in cabinetry, beamed ceilings and an open fireplace. Heritage colours complement the period character, while modern additions elevate the décor scheme. The ground floor accommodation comprises a sitting room and a generously proportioned open plan kitchen/dining/family room. The latter includes a kitchen island/breakfast bar, an AGA stove and plenty of built-in storage. There is a dining area in front of the French windows to the garden and a seating area opposite the kitchen. Upstairs, the three bedrooms can all accommodate a double bed and benefit from either eaves storage or built-in wardrobes, and there is both a family bathroom and a separate shower room. Outside The garden is situated to the side and front of the house, where there is a small patio area outside the front door which wraps around the building to a larger seating area accessed from the kitchen, perfect for alfresco dining in the warmer months. The front terrace leads to a lawned garden which is well enclosed by mature hedges providing a high degree of privacy and bisected by a brick path leading to a pedestrian gate. A variety of trees and deep borders provide colour and interest throughout the seasons. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
