Summary - MONKS WALK FERRY LANE MEDMENHAM MARLOW SL7 2EZ
3 bed 2 bath End of Terrace
Large garden and detached studio in a peaceful Thames-side hamlet.
Grade II-listed Tudor-style cottage with original character features
Monks Cottage is a charming Grade II-listed three-bedroom character home set on Ferry Lane, a quiet no-through lane close to the River Thames. The house combines original period detail — exposed beams, mullioned windows, decorative barge boards and an open fireplace — with a generous, open-plan kitchen/dining/family space and a separate sitting room. A detached studio and very large, well-established gardens provide flexible space for home working, hobbies and outdoor living.
This is a family-friendly village location with excellent local schools and easy access to Marlow and Henley-on-Thames. The layout suits family living: three double bedrooms, both a family bathroom and a separate shower room, built storage and a sociable kitchen with AGA and French doors opening to the garden. The plot and garden are notable assets, private and well planted with mature hedging and seasonal interest.
Buyers should note practical considerations linked to the property’s age and status. The house is Grade II-listed which will restrict alterations and require listed-consent for significant works. The building is solid brick and likely uninsulated in parts, heated by private oil/LPG boilers and rated EPC E. There is a history of local flooding with mitigation measures now in place; prospective buyers should verify current flood insurance and local defences. Council tax is described as quite expensive and broadband speeds are slow, which may affect home-working needs.
Overall this is a character-rich, well-presented period cottage for buyers seeking a semi-rural family home with large garden and studio in a desirable Thames-side setting. It will suit purchasers who value historic detail and outdoor space and who understand the implications of living in a listed, pre-1900 property.
