In a highly sought-after position, the cottage is within easy reach of the idyllic village of Temple, as well as the vibrant town of Marlow and excellent road links.

The spacious ground floor is accessed via a glazed porch onto a reception hall leading to a well-equipped kitchen, cloakroom with WC, study and the open plan dining room, sitting room and family area. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a shower room.

The cottage has one of the larger plots of the row of cottages, situated at the far end of the row a short distance before the sailing club.

The rear garden is a good size and has been attractively landscaped to create a fantastic space for outside entertaining, with a terrace adjoining the house and a further paved seating area at the end of the garage. Established trees, mature hedges and landscaped flowerbeds border the lawn, which extends down to the banks of the river Thames where there is a mooring and step access to the water.
