Description
Situated in a historic area of highly desirable Cookham Dean, Cromwell Cottage is an exceptional 16th century property of fantastic character. The property’s long history can be seen in its exposed timber frame, ‘limewashed’ beams, soaring trusses, thatched roof and immense brick fireplaces; its name is a nod to its reported Cromwellian connections. The Grade II-listed house has been subject to an extensive programme of renovations, inside and out, incorporating the original features and adding a contemporary extension to the rear, connected by a glass walkway. The interiors are beautifully appointed with no expense spared on the renovations, with highlights including a charming pastel pink kitchen with cream AGA, Danish oak flooring, Philippe Starck bathrooms and underfloor heating adding a luxurious element to this historical building. The house was even featured on Channel Five’s show, ‘Britain’s Best Homes’.
The accommodation is arranged in an L-shape, and entered onto a striking reception hall with an imposing inglenook fireplace. This leads to a study, cloakroom and a sitting room on the west side of the house, and a kitchen, cloakroom and dining room on the east side; in the middle there’s a generous dual aspect sitting room. Within a modern extension off the dining room there’s a fabulous garden room and a shower room, overlooking the beautiful gardens. The bedrooms are arranged separately over the two different wings of the house, including a principal bedroom with bath/shower room and dressing room, and two further bedrooms sharing a bathroom.
In addition to the main house there’s a guest bedroom and bathroom over the garage, ideal for visitors, with a study below, and a self-contained timber cabin in the garden with annexe kitchen/sitting room, two bedrooms and a shower room.
Cromwell Cottage is set within gardens of 3/4 of an acre that are landscaped in a cottage style, featuring areas of lawn enclosed by colourful flowerbeds and shrub borders, a variety of trees and number of seating areas, with the road-facing side separated by a pretty picket fence. Under a covered pergola there’s a hot tub, while in a separate, ‘secret’ part of the garden there’s a summerhouse and a sauna. Outside the garden cabin there’s a pretty surrounding terrace with its own flowerbeds which could make a great kitchen garden, and a tranquil Japanese-style rockery. To the side of the house there are two garages and a good-size gravel driveway with off-street parking for a number of cars.
