Description
Old Farm House is a most impressive Grade-II listed home with more than 3350 sq ft of internal accommodation situated in the popular village of Cookham.
The property dates back to the 1500s and retains its period grandeur due to a wealth of character features, including exposed wood beams, original fireplaces and original tiled floors. The house features in a number of paintings by the Cookham based artist Spence Stanley. Internally the home has been thoughtfully renovated to create a contemporary residence for the modern day. It features elegant high-ceilings and stylish décor that is sympathetic yet neutral, allowing for a new buyer to add their own personal stamp while honouring the character of the home.
The highlight of the property is certainly its charming and well-established gardens which are private with no overlooking neighbours and ideally positioned to capture the sun throughout the day. The feeling is distinctly rural, with separate areas for relaxing and al fresco dining.
The versatile accommodation is arranged over two floors and is generously proportioned creating a lovely flow throughout, with a great level of attention to detail in every room. On the ground floor the property is opened onto an entrance hall with shower room leading through to a utility room, formal dining room and handsome country-style kitchen complete with Range cooker and handy adjacent breakfast room. From here is the well-appointed 36ft reception room with striking brick fireplace and French doors out to the rear garden. A spacious snug or study completes the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor is the principal bedroom benefitting from fitted wardrobes and stylish en suite bathroom with twin basins, shower and freestanding bathtub. There are four additional double bedrooms, three of which enjoy built-in storage and en suite facilities plus a contemporary family bathroom.
The property occupies a generous plot and is set back from the road with a private driveway providing parking for a number of vehicles with access to a detached double garage. There are manicured lawned areas to the front whilst the majority of the space is situated to the rear, where there is a large wrap-around garden with a generous level lawn interspersed with a range of shrubs and herbaceous bedding plants. A courtyard and patio area provide the perfect spot for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining. There is also an idyllic granary providing excellent storage solutions or flexibility for working. The gardens are well enclosed by mature and established trees affording an excellent degree of seclusion.
