Charming period cottage with potential to extend in a delightfully semi-rural setting with gardens and grounds approaching 7.5 acres in all
Description
Hay Lane Cottage sits on a stunning plot approaching 7.5 acres and occupies an idyllic position on a private country lane in the village of Fulmer. The cottage offers potential to extend subject to the usual planning consents. The area has numerous walks and benefits from a friendly and active community. This delightful Victorian home was originally two cottages and retains much of its original charm and character.
The accommodation is well presented with a host of character features throughout. A garden path leads to the entrance porch which in turn opens into the delightful reception hall, complete with a fireplace, built in cabinetry and a guest cloakroom. The reception space comprises a pretty triple aspect sitting room with a decorative fireplace and open fire, formal dining room opening into the spacious, vaulted garden room, with large feature windows overlooking the garden and with French doors opening on to the terrace. Double doors between the dining and garden rooms allow for a more open plan layout. Just off this room is a family room of good proportions with doors to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys lovely views over the garden and is well equipped with a range of recently fitted units, retaining the character of a country home, and there is ample room for a table. Beyond the kitchen the laundry facilities are neatly tucked in a utility/boot room with a door to the garden.
On the first floor are four characterful bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing area with built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with both a bath and shower cubicle.
The gardens and grounds are a real feature of Hay Lane Cottage and provide an enchanting backdrop with a formal area of garden, expanses of woodland and meadow offering seclusion and privacy. A terrace area to the rear gives a perfect spot for outside dining. In addition is a driveway with an adjacent double garage with further access points from the lane.
Location
Gerrards Cross 2.5 miles, Beaconsfield station Heathrow (T5) 6.5 miles, central London 19 miles. All distances are approximate.
Often described as the prettiest village in South Buckinghamshire, Fulmer has its own cricket team, well regarded infant school, a sought after village pub, The Black Horse and adjacent farm shop. Gerrards Cross provides a more comprehensive range of facilities, together with a mainline station serving London Marylebone.
The Elizabeth Line operates from Burnham, Taplow and Slough with trains to Paddington, central London and Canary Wharf. There are many beautiful walks and bridle paths in the area including those in Black Park, Denham Country Park, Burnham Beeches, Langley Park and Windsor Great Park.
The county is one of the last to maintain the traditional grammar school system, of which Dr Challoner’s Grammar Schools (boys & girls) and Beaconsfield High School for girls are the closest. Local independent preparatory schools include Thorpe House, Davenies, Caldicott (for boys), St. Marys and Maltmans Green (for girls) and Gayhurst for girls and boys.
