The former Marlow home of literary greats Mary Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley is up for sale.

Shelley Lodge on West Street forms part of the larger house where Shelley completed her masterpiece Frankenstein, and where the couple lived until 1818.

Property agent Savills is listing the four bedroom grade II listed house at £995,000.

The couple moved to Marlow in 1817, shortly after the idea for Frankenstein was born during their trip to Lake Geneva.

The house has a plaque carrying the names of the famous couple, who left England for Italy, where celebrated romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley died in 1822.
