April Cottage is a very spacious detached family home situated within the exclusive and private Abbotsbrook estate, a unique streamside environment within a short level walk to The Thames, Bourne End village and station. Set within a generous 1/4 acre plot, with professionally landscaped gardens, the property offers over 3500 sq ft of spacious modern living.

The house is approached via a paved walkway through rose arches with views to the lawn and well stocked borders. There is extensive parking for 8-10 cars on the gravel driveway with plenty of space to add garages if required.

The wow factor is apparent as soon as you enter, with a dramatic and spacious double storey entrance hall with light flooding in via the vaulted ceiling windows.

Glazed doors lead to a huge kitchen/family room (measuring over 30’ x 37’) which is a wonderful entertainment space. The kitchen features a comprehensive range of fitted base and eye level units finished in a contemporary neutral gloss, complimented by a warm tigerwood worktop. Integrated appliances include a gas hob with extractor fan over, and two electric ovens.

The kitchen has a large island which incorporates a breakfast bar and is a great place to chat and socialise. This space opens across the rear of the property, offering a multi-functional area for relaxing and dining. It is bathed with light from the large windows above, and enjoys views of the landscaped garden through the 3 sets of full-height glazed doors.

A large 19’ utility room houses ample further storage cupboards and space for a washer and dryer. The boiler and Megaflow tank are housed within, and there is access to the garden.

The kitchen/family room flows into a further large reception room kept cosy in the winter by another wood-burning stove. This room is also accessed from the entrance hall.

A large, bright study with log burner and built-in 15’ cherrywood desk provides the ideal home office. Windows run along the entire wall giving views over the front garden.

There is a spacious ground floor bathroom with shower.

The snug (currently a fully equipped gym) and two further double bedrooms (one with patio doors to the front garden) with built in storage complete the accommodation to the ground floor.

Stairs lead from the entrance hall to the vaulted landing which is flooded with light and gives access to three further generous bedroom suites and the extensive, boarded loft.

The principal bedroom has lovely garden views, a range of fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. There are two further large bedroom suites with fitted wardrobes and en suite bath/shower rooms.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully designed with multiple seating areas. There is a large terrace for outside dining and relaxing, and a more intimate seating area with firepit. The borders are planted with mature shrubs, plants and trees and wrap around the entire property, and there is also a large vegetable patch and greenhouse.

When April Cottage was remodelled, new electrical and plumbing systems were installed and the property was also wired for sound.

The Abbotsbrook is a private estate where residents have access to streams and The River Thames. It has a thriving social calendar with many family and adult events – a very special and unique community.

Bourne End has good connections to London via The Elizabeth Line (Taplow or Maidenhead). The village has a range of restaurants, pubs and shops and is in catchment for several leading grammar schools.

April Cottage offers a wonderful opportunity to live in this much sought-after locale and viewing is highly recommended.
