Beautiful Grade II listed cottage in an idyllic setting on West Common overlooking the pond.
Description
Wonderfully located on the private section of West Common, with stunning views over Latchmoor Pond, this exquisite Grade II listed house occupies arguably one of the best spots in Gerrards Cross. Ideal for commuters, a local footpath gives easy access to the station. The house dates back to about 1740 with later additions and now offers beautifully presented and characterful accommodation with features including exposed beams and brickwork, sash windows, oak flooring and period fireplaces.
The primary entrance is to the side of the house, leading through to the reception hall, with a guest cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. The layout of the reception space has been well considered with both reception rooms enjoying stunning, picturesque views over the pond. The charming sitting room is dual aspect and features a fireplace with wood burner and built-in shelving. The adjacent family room is a cosy, welcoming space, with bespoke fitted cabinetry and a fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the rear garden, with ample space for a table. The kitchen is well appointed with an excellent range of units, Corian worktops and integrated appliances. There is an attractive, feature brick fireplace and door access to a useful boot room. A utility room and well appointed study, with beautiful custom designed storage, completes the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor are four wonderful, characterful bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, with two bedrooms to the rear overlooking the garden. The two remaining bedrooms to the front both have en suite bath/shower rooms and idyllic views over the pond. In addition is a family shower room and the landing provides further storage with two built-in wardrobes.
The gardens at Waterside are a beautiful feature of the property. Both the front and back gardens are wonderfully landscaped with large areas of manicured lawn surrounded by well-stocked and beautifully tended flower beds, packed with colour and scent. High hedging and a variety of attractive specimen trees provide privacy and seclusion. A terrace area adjoins the house to the side giving the perfect spot for outside dining. Nestling at the end of the garden is a substantial summer house, perfect for enjoying the garden but would also make an ideal working from home space.
To the front there are two gated driveways either side of the house, both providing off street parking, with one leading to a single garage and the other to the double garage at the rear.
Location
Gerrards Cross is a picturesque town offering comprehensive facilities which include an ‘Everyman’ cinema, supermarkets, independent shops and boutiques, and a good selection of cafes and restaurants.
The M40 and M25 afford access to the M4, Heathrow and Gatwick airports and central London. Gerrards Cross station provides a fast and regular Chiltern train link with London Marylebone and the London Underground.
Sports enthusiasts are well catered for with two tennis clubs, squash club, football club and a cricket club alongside several golf clubs.
The county is one of the last to maintain the traditional grammar school system, of which Dr Challoner’s Grammar School for boys (Amersham), Dr Challoner’s High School for girls (Little Chalfont) and Beaconsfield High School for girls (Beaconsfield) are the closest. Local independent preparatory schools include Thorpe House, Davenies, Caldicott (for boys), St. Marys and Maltmans Green (for girls) and Gayhurst for girls and boys.
