5 bedroom detached house

RARELY AVAILABLE! One of the most beautiful houses within the sought after streamside Abbotsbrook private estate; a haven of peace and tranquillity within a stone’s throw of Bourne End Marina with easy launch access for kayaks and SUPs, the Thames path, and the vibrant village centre with its shops and eateries. Bourne End station is less than a 5-minute walk with trains to Maidenhead connecting to The Elizabeth Line and fast access to London. Countryside is a picturesque property with high ceilings, original features, spacious accommodation, and a delightful garden; all immaculately presented.   NOT TO BE MISSED!

A welcoming and spacious entrance hall, with traditional patterned flooring in Amtico, gives access to the principal reception rooms including the large double aspect drawing room with box bay window, bespoke storage cupboards and fireplace with stone surround and wood burner.

This room opens to the dining room, again with box bay window, which in turn opens to the snug with working wood burner. French doors open to a large, decked area.

Attractive wooden doors allow the drawing room, dining room and snug to be separated if individual rooms are preferred. (They can all be accessed independently via the Entrance hall). The wooden flooring runs throughout, and when the doors are open this is a fabulous open plan entertainment space that stretches the entire depth of the house and leads seamlessly to the garden.

To the opposite side of the entrance hall a large study, with the same wooden flooring, provides excellent work from home or playroom space and has a full height built in storage cupboard.

The kitchen/breakfast room has under floor heating and is fitted with a comprehensive range of hand painted base units with wooden work surface over with integrated sink featuring a 4-in-1 boiling water tap. There are matching full height and eye level units. Integrated appliances include fridge, 6 ring gas hob with extractor over, 2 dishwashers, 2 Neff ovens, combination microwave/oven and wine cooler. There is ample space for family meals and a door opens to the rear garden.

The large utility room has space and plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble drier and space and plumbing for an American style fridge/freezer. There is a butlers sink, work surface and built in units. This opens to the boot room with door to the side.

A cloakroom with traditional style pedestal wash hand basin and close coupled WC completes the accommodation to this floor.

Stairs rise from the entrance hall to the first floor landing which gives access to the 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There is a loft accessed via a pull-down ladder. The loft has light and power and houses the large, recently installed, Megaflow hot water tank.

The principal bedroom is double aspect, has eaves storage and built in wardrobes. A Jack and Jill shower room opens from the principal bedroom and from the hallway, giving flexibility of use. This is fitted with a large walk-in shower with glass screen, wash hand basin with plentiful storage below, close coupled WC and large built in storage cupboard.

There are four further double bedrooms, all with storage, one of which is currently used as an office.

The family bathroom is fitted with P-shaped bath with shower attachment, wash hand basin with vanity unit and close coupled WC.

To the rear of the property there is a fully enclosed mature garden (137 ft minimum x 48ft) with a sizeable area of decking, accessed from both the kitchen and snug. This is fabulous for entertaining, and currently features sofa style seating, a bar and fire pit.

Steps lead down to a further entertainment area, that in turn leads to the lawn which is surrounded by mature flower beds. There are two independent electricity supplies, an irrigation system and water tap. To the rear of the garden is a garage/store with light and power. This has in the past been used as a gym. There is gated access to Sailing Club Road and a shed for further storage.

A beautiful veranda runs around the property, providing shelter for wood storage and offering a lovely space to sit and enjoy the summer warmth even on less sunny days.

Paths lead along both sides of the property to the gated gravel driveway which provides parking for several cars. From the driveway steps lead up to the front door, with traditional box hedging to both sides.

Countryside sits in a plot of approx. 0.275 acres.
