4 bedroom detached house for sale

Walnut Tree Cottage is a beautiful family home occupying an excellent position on Nottwood Lane, Stoke Row.

The current owners have extended, remodelled, and completely refurbished the house to provide stylish reception space and generous bedroom accommodation. The house sits centrally in its mature, landscaped gardens and enjoys far-reaching, rural views to the front and private, south-facing gardens to the rear.

The house is entered via a large, welcoming hallway where double doors open into the stunning kitchen/dining/family room. The kitchen is a well-proportioned, triple-aspect room with bi-folding doors opening on to the patio and rear garden. The kitchen benefits from a range of high-end appliances, excellent storage, a central island and a roof lantern, which floods the space with natural light. The utility room lies adjacent to the kitchen, offering further storage and access to the back garden. Across the hallway is the living room, which spans the full depth of the house. Large windows provide views over the front and back gardens, and an open fireplace with a wood-burning stove provides a lovely focal point. There is a study at the front of the house, and the downstairs WC completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms (2 with en suite) and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom suite has vaulted ceilings, which enhances the feeling of space, and a Juliet balcony, which makes the most of the stunning views to the front of the house. This room also features a dressing room with wardrobes and a stylish en suite bathroom with double sinks, a bath and a separate walk-in shower. The guest suite has an en suite shower room, and pleasant views of the rear garden are a lovely aspect of the room. There are two further double bedrooms, both of which are served by the family bathroom.

An electric gate opens on to the large gravelled driveway to the front of the house, which provides secure parking for several cars and access to the integral double garage with an electric roller door. The front garden has been beautifully planted to provide colour and interest, and stunning rural views provide a lovely backdrop. There is access to the rear south-facing gardens on either side of the house. The rear garden has a variety of mature shrubs and trees, providing a high degree of privacy with well-stocked flower beds, various seating areas, a vegetable garden with raised beds, a garden shed and a greenhouse cleverly tucked away and out of sight.

This delightful property stands in the popular Chiltern village of Stoke Row just 6 miles from Henley-on-Thames.
