Sharrow Cottage is a beautifully presented early 19th-century Grade II-listed brick-and-flint cottage set in a coveted Thameside lane in Medmenham. The house keeps strong period character—exposed beams, slate floors and a wood-burning stove—while benefiting from a recent renovation that includes a new kitchen, modern bathroom and underfloor heating on the ground floor. Its compact, low-maintenance walled courtyard suits buyers wanting a manageable outside space close to the river.
The cottage offers comfortable living across two floors: an open-plan ground floor with a conservatory-style breakfast area leading to the garden, and two first-floor bedrooms with an en-suite WC to the main bedroom. At 893 sq ft the layout feels generous for a two-bedroom home and the property is offered chain free, ready for immediate occupation.
Important practical points are clear: the house is Grade II-listed, which preserves its historic fabric but will restrict alterations and can complicate future works. The property has a medium flood risk and an EPC rating of E. Heating is electric underfloor and mains are standard; walls are original solid brick (likely uninsulated), so running costs and insulation improvements should be considered.
This cottage will suit a downsizer or buyer seeking a characterful Thameside base with minimal garden upkeep, close to Marlow and Henley’s amenities. Expect pleasant village living and easy river access, balanced against the responsibilities of listed ownership, potential flood exposure and modest energy efficiency.
