Maidenhead whimsical lakeside Tudor house where Henry VIII’s wife used to live near is on the market – Berkshire Live

A Tudor house that sits on a lake with its own island has gone up for sale in Berkshire and, back in the Tudor age, Anne of Cleves was said to live near the property

A whimsical-looking Tudor house with six-bedrooms is currently on the market in Berkshire.

The Islands sits in Cookham Dean, Maidenhead, and is on the market for a guide price of 4.95 million.

The house is described as being "a truly idyllic riverside retreat" and it sits at the upstream end of an ancient royal fishery that dates back to the Tudor era.

The property comes with a library, swimming pool, pool house, cottage, greenhouse, and even a boathouse and it sits on five acres of land and has its own private island, perfect for anyone who loves their privacy.

The house lies in Cookham Dean which is south of the river from Marlow and just north of Maidenhead.

The interior of the property is just as whimsical as its exterior.

For example, the reception is oak-panelled and features an open fireplace, a stained glass window, and panelled ceiling, which makes it look like a Scottish Hunting Lodge.

Another interesting historical note is the fact that Kenneth Grahame lived in the area when he wrote his famous book 'The Wind in the Willows.'
