Features and description
- Freehold
Monks Hood is one of the most desirable properties on Ferry Lane, elegantly appointed and exceptionally spacious.
Set within the highly sought-after village of Medmenham, this property enjoys an exclusive and private location amidst secluded, landscaped grounds filled with specimen trees, giving it a wonderfully green aspect. The tranquil surroundings exude a sense of calm, which extends indoors, where a soothing palette of neutrals and premium finishes creates a luxurious atmosphere. No expense has been spared in this stunning home, featuring underfloor heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort, premium materials throughout, and individually designed reception rooms for both entertaining and family time.
The house, substantially extended by the vendor, offers over 5000 sq ft of accommodation with an open, flowing layout. The central reception hall leads to various living spaces: An inviting library/snug, a 25ft drawing room, a cosy family room, a welcoming study, and a spacious, light-filled orangery at the rear, perfect for family gatherings and offering lovely garden views. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with modern conveniences, including wine storage, a bar area, and integrated Gaggenau appliances. Additional amenities include a utility room and a pantry.
Upstairs, the six double bedrooms are generously sized and immaculately presented, arranged around a central landing that opens onto a balcony with lovely views over the front lawns. The principal suite, measuring 25ft, features a dressing room and luxurious en suite, while three other bedrooms have en suite facilities and access to a separate shower room.
Garden and Grounds
The property sits on a private and attractively landscaped 0.6-acre plot, behind imposing electric gates with intercom access. These gates open to a long gravel driveway, a beautifully landscaped garden with impressive willow trees, a double garage, and a detached carport. The secluded gardens extend to the rear, featuring an open lawn enclosed by mature trees and hedging, and multiple seating areas for enjoying the idyllic outdoor space. The borders are planted with a variety of shrubs and trees throughout.
Location
Ferry Lane is a highly desirable location in Medmenham, recently recognised by The Daily Telegraph as the most desirable village in Buckinghamshire, and features a picturesque lane, lined with mostly detached homes leading directly to the River Thames. At the foot of the lane, less than 100 yards from Monks Hood, a public slipway provides residents with access to the river, ideal for paddle boarding and enjoying the water.
Medmenham is charmingly rural yet ideally situated for easy access to both Marlow (3.5 miles) and Henley-on-Thames (4.5miles). The towns of Marlow and Henley offer a diverse mix of local independent shops and national retailers. There are numerous bars, cafes, and restaurants in both towns, including Tom Kerridge’s two Michelin starred restaurants in Marlow. Located on the banks of the River Thames, the Thames Path, for fabulous walks, follows the river through these towns and is accessible from Ferry Lane.
Just outside the town centres, the area opens up to beautiful rolling countryside and is a designated Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are numerous opportunities for outdoor activities, including golf at Harleyford, football, cricket, hockey and rugby clubs. Medmenham has its own cricket club and there is an active village life, with community events running throughout the year.
For commuters, both towns have train stations offering services to Paddington via Maidenhead which is just 20 minutes into London on the Elizabeth Line; High Wycombe Station also offers direct access to London Marylebone. The M40 and M4 motorways are accessible from the A404(M) within 15 minutes of the village.
The area offers a comprehensive range of private and state schooling options, including Sir William Borlase's Grammar School, Reading Blue Coat, Shiplake Eton, Wycombe Abbey. Caldicott Preparatory School, Danesfield and several excellent schools in the Maidenhead and Henley area.
