Bisham is a riverside village in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead with a population of just over 1,000 people.
The attractive village is an excellent place to buy or rent property as it is situated on the banks of the River Thames. Bisham is just south of Marlow in the county of Buckinghamshire, where there are also many flats and houses to buy and rental properties.
Locally Bisham is home to one of England's National Sports Centre's and has played host to numerous training of the England football team.
Close to the homes and houses there is acres of green space and woodland in which nestles Bisham Abbey, a 13th century manor house which was the residence of the Earl of Salisbury and the Hoby family. The ghost of Lady Elizabeth Hoby is said to haunt the abbey. The property incorporates parts of Bisham Priory, which was founded by the Knights Templar in 1338, and has the distinction of being the only monastery to be re-established as an abbey by Henry VIII after the dissolution.
The parish of woodlands and riverside walks is an excellent place to buy or rent properties which sit in the shadow of many historic buildings.
The homes and properties are within a short walk along the road or the river to Marlow which has plenty of designer boutique stores, national chains and specialist shops. The village is also very close to a range of entertainments and modern amenities in Marlow and Maidenhead, which is a short drive away.
It has scenic footpaths heading towards Henley or London and there are plenty of activities and river boat cruises taking place on the Thames. There is also a very pleasant walk from most homes and properties climbing the steep chalk ridge towards Cookham Dean.
