Description

In a wonderful, semi-rural setting adjoining the rolling countryside to the south of Cookham Dean is this detached, double-fronted Edwardian family home. The characterful property offers almost 1600 sq ft of space and a wealth of charming features, such as sash windows, wood floors, a stained glass front door and a lovely stone fireplace. It has been modernised with the addition of an extension to the rear and a stylish en suite shower room to the main bedroom, but still offers great scope for the new owner to personalise as they wish. The house would be well suited to both couples or families, and has ample space for entertaining.

On the ground floor, two generous reception rooms are linked by dividing doors, making the space very flexible. There is also a separate kitchen and breakfast room for more informal occasions. The study could be used as a further reception space or snug, or as a home office. Upstairs the principal bedroom has a Juliet balcony with delightful views over the garden, plus an en suite shower room. The three further bedrooms are all double size and share a family bathroom.

The front driveway is a great size and provides ample off-street parking, with gates on either side to access the rear. On the right side of the house the gates open to a covered car port, with further doors onwards to the garden. The rear garden is south facing, with a large paved terrace spanning the back of the house and a set of steps leading up to the good-size lawn. The garden is enclosed by mature hedging and well-established trees which makes it feel fantastically secluded, and there is a garden shed towards the rear.
