3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

An impeccably presented character home situated in the heart of Cookham village, adjacent to the High Street, with beautifully appointed interiors.

Description

Wisteria Cottage is a very charming Grade-II listed home situated in the idyllic village of Cookham adjacent to the High Street and within 0.7 miles of the station. The property is believed to date back to the 1700s and retains its Georgian grandeur due to a wealth of character features, including original fireplaces, sash windows and high ceilings typical of the era. Internally the home has been thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom with luxury touches such as a handsome kitchen with premium appliances and stylishly updated bath and shower rooms. The property is contemporary throughout with elegant high-ceilinged rooms and tasteful 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 accommodation amounts to more than 2100 sq ft and is generously proportioned throughout. The ground floor is accessed via a spacious and welcoming entrance reception hall with wood burning stove and w.c leading through to a sitting room with original fireplace. The kitchen is a particular highlight complete with complementary marble worktops and Rangemaster cooker. This leads through to a particularly impressive orangery extension; a sociable space with two sets of French doors opening to the rear garden and large roof lantern affording an abundance of natural light. There is also a study and utility room with useful internal access to the integral garage. On the first floor is the principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and sleek en suite shower room, with a large en suite dressing room, two further double bedrooms with built-in storage and a contemporary family bathroom with roll-top freestanding bathtub.

A mature wisteria clings to the front of the property creating a wonderful first impression along with wrought-iron railings and access to an integral garage. The walled rear garden comprises a patio with steps leading up to a neat level lawn with well-stocked borders and a range of attractive shrubs and bedding plants including pretty lavender. The property backs onto the glorious gardens of the Odney Club, with their strong Stanley Spencer connections and further benefits from membership of the 120-acre site which includes riverside walks, specimen trees, herbaceous borders, and an ornamental lake.
