Spade Oak ReachCookham, Berkshire, SL6 9RQ

Situated in one of the area's most sought-after locations, Ferry Cottage was built in the late 1800s and subsequently used as a ferryman's cottage, to serve the foot ferry crossing the river from Coldmoorholme Lane.

It is situated in an outstanding position, directly onto the river with wonderful views up-stream and down-stream. In addition, the views to the other side stretch far over the surrounding farmland and up to Winter Hill, providing a lovely backdrop.

The charming cottage has been sympathetically updated while incorporating a number of its character features, such as a brick fireplaces in two of the reception rooms. There is excellent potential for further modernisation and extension, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

The layout offers a degree of versatility, with a large bedroom on the ground floor which could equally be used as an additional reception room. Separately there is a study, a sitting room and a conservatory, plus an open plan kitchen and dining room. A ground floor shower room is accompanied by the first floor bathroom, and there are two further double bedrooms upstairs.

Outside
Ferry Cottage is situated at the end of a private lane accessed only by residents of Spade Oak Reach, in splendid isolation with beautiful views on all sides. The secluded setting on the banks of the river feels surprisingly private as the Thames Path runs along the opposite bank. Surrounding the house there are mature, lawned gardens enclosed by fencing, mature trees and hedges, and a gravel terrace with ample parking accessed via the lane. On the river side of the house there is a paved terrace with space for garden furniture, a summerhouse and a number of flowerbeds. At the water’s edge, a private mooring has room for a large pleasure craft.
