Tucked away along one of Medmenham’s prettiest lanes, just a short stroll from the banks of the River Thames, Sharrow Cottage is a delightful Grade II listed period home, full of character and charm. Dating back to the early 19th century, this attractive brick and flint cottage forms part of a picturesque terrace of four properties and offers beautifully presented accommodation, combining traditional features with the comforts of modern living.

The cottage is approached through a charming front garden, enclosed by a low brick and flint wall, with a pathway leading to the original covered entrance porch. The front door opens directly into a wonderfully welcoming sitting and dining room, a generous space extending to almost 25 feet in length. Exposed ceiling beams, attractive slate flooring and a handsome brick fireplace housing a gas stove create a lovely sense of character, while a large window overlooking the front garden provides plenty of natural light.

To the rear, the dining area flows through to a bright and attractive sun room, with glazed doors opening onto the courtyard garden. The adjoining kitchen has been thoughtfully fitted with traditional shaker-style cabinetry, timber worktops and a Belfast sink, complemented by exposed brickwork and a glazed roof section which allows natural light to flood into the space. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation, which also benefits from underfloor heating throughout.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a particularly attractive room, featuring an exposed timber beam, fitted wardrobes and a pretty leaded window overlooking Ferry Lane. This room also benefits from an en-suite cloakroom. The second bedroom is another comfortable double, enjoying views towards the rear and benefiting from built-in storage.

Outside, the cottage enjoys a delightful enclosed courtyard garden, surrounded by attractive brick and flint walls which provide a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. Predominantly paved for ease of maintenance, the garden offers plenty of space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with a charming summer house providing useful additional storage or a quiet place to sit. On-street parking is available along Ferry Lane.

Sharrow Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented period home in a particularly sought-after village setting, with the Thames Path and riverside walks just moments from the front door. The property is offered for sale with no onward chain.

Medmenham is a picturesque Thameside village, nestled in the beautiful Chiltern countryside between the popular market towns of Marlow and Henley-on-Thames. Ferry Lane is one of the village's most attractive roads, lined with pretty period cottages and leading directly towards the River Thames, where a public slipway provides access to the water and the Thames with
wonderful opportunities for walking and exploring the surrounding countryside.

Marlow lies approximately 3.5 miles to the east, with Henley-on-Thames around 4.5 miles to the west. Both towns offer an excellent selection of independent shops, boutiques, cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs, together with a wide range of leisure and sporting facilities.

The surrounding countryside forms part of the Chilterns National Landscape, with beautiful walks, bridleways and picturesque villages to explore. For commuters, rail services are available from Marlow and Henley-on-Thames, with connections to London Paddington, while the nearby A404 provides convenient access to both the M4 and M40 motorways.

The area is also well served by a selection of highly regarded state and independent schools, including Sir William Borlase's Grammar School in Marlow, alongside a variety of schooling options in Henley, Maidenhead and the surrounding villages.
