Description

In a well-connected setting that’s ideal for accessing both Maidenhead and Cookham’s amenities, including Cookham’s rail station, this detached and beautifully presented family home enjoys a private position on an exclusive development of just three homes. The house was originally built in 1996 and has recently been extended and fully renovated to a very high standard throughout. The result is a stylish and modern home with all the desired modern conveniences, including underfloor heating in the kitchen and utility, a security alarm system and contemporary kitchen and bathrooms. The house is ready for immediate occupation and provides a great backdrop for easy personalisation.

The ground floor accommodation is well laid out and is largely open plan, with two separate reception areas creating a divide between formal and informal entertaining. A large sitting room with wood-burning stove is dual aspect, with the rear bifold doors opening to the garden. Adjoining this is a further sitting room with garden access and a shower room; with private external access to the side of the house providing flexibility for modern living. The kitchen and dining/family room are open plan, also with garden access, and benefit from extensive storage and an attached utility room. There is also a study on the ground floor. Upstairs, you'll find five spacious bedrooms. The principal bedroom boasts vaulted ceilings and an elegant en suite, and there is also an additional bathroom for the family.

Honey Cottage is situated on a quiet, tucked away cul de sac, with a driveway which leads to a good-size parking area and a freestanding double car port.

There are attractive communal gardens to the front though most of the outside space can be found to the rear, where there is a sizeable southeast-facing garden enclosed on three sides by mature hedging, making it feel exceptionally private.

Mature trees provide further privacy and a fantastically green backdrop, including two impressive palms. Outdoor dining is possible on a raised decking terrace or a paved patio at garden level, and there is an outside shed and a discreet side gate leading to the front of the house.

Directions

From Cookham Train Station, head east along Station Hill, then turn right at the roundabout to enter Maidenhead Road. Continue for approximately 300 metres then turn left into the private driveway just before Danes Gardens; the house will be signposted.
