Location

Cookham High Street is at the centre of the village, which has a thriving community and is set within glorious rolling countryside in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is situated on the banks of the river Thames and the Thames Path follows the river through the village, providing a scenic walk from Cookham to Marlow. Outdoor pursuits are numerous in and around the village, as are golf, football, cricket and rugby clubs.

There are three primary schools and three nursery schools situated in Cookham, with a comprehensive range of private and state schooling options in the area including Sir William Borlase's Grammar School, Beaconsfield High School, Eton, Harrow, Wycombe Abbey, Caldicot Preparatory School and some excellent schools in the Maidenhead, Marlow and Henley area.

Cookham is delightfully rural, yet perfectly positioned for access to both Marlow and Maidenhead where you will find a more extensive mix of bars, cafés and restaurants, as well as an eclectic range of local independent and national retailers.

For commuters, Cookham has a train station with a service to Paddington (via Maidenhead) in as little as 31 minutes, with an Elizabeth Line connection into central London from Maidenhead. The M40 and M4 motorways are easily accessible.

Description

Enjoying a well-connected setting on Cookham’s popular High Street, this lovely character cottage has a variety of shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants on the doorstep, as well as being mere moments away from the National Trust land at Cookham Moor. The Grade II-listed property dates back to 1776 and is a pretty red brick construction set behind a quaintly charming picket fence – it has excellent kerb appeal and is as well presented internally as it is on the outside. Character features abound, including a brick fireplace inset with a wood-burning stove, brick tiled floors and exposed beams. Whitewashed walls and complementing joinery create a timeless feel to the interiors.

At the front of the house, a cosy and inviting sitting room is a restful space with built-in cabinetry. This leads through to the farmhouse-style kitchen and onwards to the open plan dining room extension at the rear, which is lit from above by a roof lantern and from the French windows which open to the garden. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, each with their own unique cham and character, as well as a family bathroom, in addition to a shower room on the ground floor.

Outside
Moorland Cottage is set directly on the High Street, with off-street parking space behind the rear garden, which is reached through a detached playroom. This could be converted to a home office or studio.

The rear garden is attractively landscaped with mature hedges to either side providing privacy to the lawn, flowerbeds and two patio areas. At the front, a pretty picket fence encloses a small front garden, which has shrubs, roses and climbing plants over the front
