5 bedroom detached house for sale

An individual family home in a sought-after setting on a plot of three-quarters of an acre, with good size rooms and superb potential for renovation/extension (stpp).



Description

In a sought-after setting amongst the pretty countryside to the south of Cookham Dean is this detached 1980s family home set on a plot of three-quarters of an acre, which benefits from a number of outbuildings and sizeable, well-maintained gardens that wrap around the house. The house enjoys a quiet position overlooking its own gardens with no neighbouring houses visible – it’s very private and secluded, though the large windows let in excellent natural light.

Internally there are character elements, like exposed brick walls, beams and wood ceilings, and the double-height entrance hall is a great feature. The accommodation is generously proportioned throughout its five double bedrooms, and there is good storage and plenty of space for the demands of family life.

The ground floor comprises the entrance hall, a cloakroom, a spacious lounge with sliding glazed doors opening to the garden, a separate dining room, a kitchen, utility room and further second WC. Upstairs, the five bedrooms are all double size and include two with en suite facilities plus a shared family bath/shower room. The principal bedroom is a particular feature with high vaulted ceilings, and also benefits from access to a large balcony, which runs along the south side of the house.

The house is set back from the quiet, leafy road behind a gated entrance with a security intercom system. To the front, a driveway provides ample off-street parking and there is a detached double carport for additional, covered parking. The gardens are fantastically private, with mature trees all around the boundary ensuring the gardens are not overlooked. They are mostly lawned, with different areas for seating and enjoying the outside space, including a good-size terrace adjoining the detached garden room that’s ideal for entertaining. There is also a separate timber summerhouse with a further adjoining terrace.
