Cookham Short walk to The Station, Village & River

Station, High Street and the Thames, all on foot: a Kingswear-built Four Double bedroom family home with parking, in the heart of Cookham Rise

Lansdowne, Lower Road, Cookham Rise
Few homes offer a lifestyle this walkable. From Lansdowne's front door, Cookham station is two minutes on foot, with Elizabeth line services into London via Maidenhead; Cookham's celebrated High Street, with its timber-framed pubs and restaurants, is an easy stroll away; and the Thames Path is close enough for a riverside walk before work or after school. Built in 2016 by respected bespoke developer Kingswear Ltd, this three/four double bedroom semi-detached home is light, spacious and laid out with real intelligence, flowing from a wide reception entrance without a wasted corner. There is scope to extend to the side or rear, subject to planning, and with the sellers' onward purchase secured and the chain complete, a buyer here can move with rare certainty.

GROUND FLOOR
The wide reception entrance immediately signals the quality of the house, laid with herringbone flooring that continues through the study, cloakroom and utility room, and anchored by a striking staircase with oak handrails and dark-painted spindles. Broad and light-filled, it gives the ground floor a natural sense of arrival and connects every principal room.

The sitting room (5.61m x 4.10m / 18'5" x 13'5") sits to the front, with a wide bay window dressed in plantation shutters, wood flooring, and a log burner set within a brick-lined fireplace beneath an oak mantel. Light fittings from The White Company feature here, as well as on the staircase, landing and in the principal bedroom.
Across the hall, the study/family room (4.19m x 2.74m / 13'9" x 9'0") has been bespoke fitted to a high specification and works equally well as a fourth double bedroom, home office or snug, giving the house genuine flexibility for multigenerational living or hybrid working.

The kitchen/dining room (5.97m x 4.70m / 19'7" x 15'5") is the heart of the home: a granite-topped kitchen with central island and breakfast bar, fitted Siemens appliances, a fridge/freezer installed in 2024, and underfloor heating throughout. With the bi-folds drawn back on a summer evening, kitchen, dining table and terrace become one continuous entertaining space; in winter, the underfloor heating makes it the warmest room in the house.

A separate utility room (1.85m x 1.76m / 6'1" x 5'9") with fitted storage and plumbing for laundry appliances, plus a smartly presented downstairs cloakroom, complete the ground floor.

FIRST FLOOR
Three double bedrooms lead off the landing, which also gives loft access via a ladder.

The principal bedroom (4.09m x 3.54m / 13'5" x 11'7") enjoys plantation shutters, a dedicated dressing room (2.14m x 1.72m / 7'0" x 5'8") with fitted storage, and an ensuite shower room.
Bedroom two (4.33m x 2.67m / 14'3" x 8'9") includes a bespoke floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobe, while bedroom three (3.26m x 2.38m / 10'8" x 7'10") is a well-proportioned double currently arranged as a children's room. The family bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite including a large bathtub.

OUTSIDE
The south-facing rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped over two levels. A broad porcelain-paved terrace flows directly from the bi-fold doors, framed by contemporary slatted retaining walls, with ample room for outdoor seating, dining and a barbecue area. Steps rise to a lawn bordered by mature trees, giving children space to play in full view of the kitchen. A timber shed (1.8m x 1.2m / 6ft x 4ft) sits to the rear, and a side garden features a bespoke fitted bench with log storage beneath and gated access to the front.
To the front, a block-paved driveway provides parking for up to three cars, edged with a picket fence and established rosemary planting. Possible two further parking, on the side garden if it’s required.

LOCATION: COOKHAM
Cookham is one of the Thames Valley's most cherished villages, strung along a beautiful reach of the river between Maidenhead and Marlow and famously the home and muse of the painter Stanley Spencer, whose gallery still sits in the village centre. It is really three villages in one: Cookham Village with its High Street of timber-framed pubs and restaurants, Cookham Dean rising into National Trust woodland, and Cookham Rise at the centre, where Lansdowne enjoys the most convenient position of all, moments from the station, shops, café culture and the local primary schools.
Life here revolves around the river and the countryside, and from this house all of it is on foot: the High Street for Saturday lunch, Cookham Moor and Marsh Meadow leading down to the Thames Path for morning walks, and Winter Hill beyond for some of the finest views in the county. Yet for all its village character, Cookham is remarkably connected: the Elizabeth line via Maidenhead puts central London within comfortable commuting reach, and the M4 and M40 are minutes away by car. Combined with an outstanding choice of state and independent schooling, it is a village that families rarely leave once they arrive.

TRANSPORT AND SCHOOLS
Cookham station (0.1 miles) links to the Elizabeth line at Maidenhead; Bourne End (1.5 miles) and Furze Platt (1.7 miles) provide alternatives. The M40 (Junction 4) and M4 (Junction 8/9) are within easy reach, with the M4 providing access to Heathrow and onward connections via the M25 and M3. The area is superbly served for recreation, with boating and sailing on the Thames at Cookham and Henley, racing at Ascot and Windsor, and golf at Winter Hill, Maidenhead, Marlow, Temple, Harleyford and Henley. Local schools include Herries and Cookham Dean Primary close by, with St Piran's and Claires Court in Maidenhead and Sir William Borlase's Grammar in Marlow.
