4 bedroom detached house for sale

Family home on a highly desirable private road in the heart of Cookham Village, perfectly situated for access to the river and the station yet set on a private and secluded plot.

Description

Perfectly positioned for those seeking a charming village environment coupled with superb commuter links and access to renowned local attractions, The Holt is a delightful family home with excellent access to the plentiful shops and services of Cookham High Street, as well as the many open green spaces of the village.

The generously proportioned house offers spacious and well-planned accommodation and was built in 2002, with further improvements carried out in 2017. The ground floor features hand-laid oak flooring adding warmth and character. A further highlight is the particularly spacious Cranleigh ‘Utopia’ kitchen, installed in 2019, while the bathrooms were modernised between 2018 and 2022.

The generously proportioned rooms provide ample space for all the family, offering a choice of reception spaces that are equally well suited to both entertaining and relaxing in private. A central hallway affords excellent flow to the ground floor rooms, which include a triple aspect 24ft sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a separate dining room, and a stunning open-plan kitchen and family room with a high vaulted ceiling, Velux windows, and bifold doors to the garden flooding the room with natural light.

The kitchen is well appointed with oak-lined cabinetry, premium appliances, and elegant quartz work surfaces. Adjoining the kitchen is a relaxing study or snug. A utility room provides space for laundry appliances while a WC completes the accommodation. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has its own WC and en suite shower room, and there is a further guest bedroom with en suite shower room. The two remaining bedrooms are a good size and share a family bathroom with a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower.

Outside
Tucked away down a private road and set back behind its own driveway, The Holt is a wonderfully secluded family home in a sought-after setting. Mature trees around the boundary create a high degree of privacy, as well as providing a green aspect from the house and a pleasantly leafy first impression.

The gated private driveway leads through hedging to a generous parking area to the side of the house and in front of the attached double garage; the latter has internal access to the house via the entrance hall and to the rear garden.

Nestled against the side of the house behind a pretty picket fence, the rear garden is deceptively spacious and attractively landscaped, comprising a generously sized lawn and mature borders of trees and shrubs.

There are a number of areas for entertaining, including a raised decked terrace adjoining the house, a paved patio, a secluded dining space with a built-in pizza oven and a detached timber summerhouse.

Location

Berries Road is a highly sought-after private road situated in the heart of Cookham, with vehicular access at the southern end from the High Street and pedestrian access at the northern end onto the Thames Path, meeting up with Cock Marsh and Winter Hill providing excellent riverside walks. The open green space of Cookham Moor is situated behind the west-facing houses and is popular with families and dog walkers.

Cookham is set within glorious rolling countryside in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are scenic walks along the Thames Path and within the surrounding woodland, with golf, football, cricket and rugby clubs nearby.

There are three primary schools and three nursery schools situated in Cookham, with a comprehensive range of private and state schooling options in the area include Sir William Borlase's Grammar School (Marlow), Beaconsfield High School, Eton, Harrow, Wycombe Abbey, Caldicot Preparatory School and some excellent schools in the Maidenhead, Marlow and Henley area.

Cookham is delightfully rural in feel, yet perfectly positioned for access to both Marlow and Maidenhead. There is an extensive mix of bars, cafés and restaurants, as well as an eclectic range of local independent and national retailers.

For London commuters, Cookham is ideally positioned, with a train service to Paddington (via Maidenhead) in as little as 31 minutes and an Elizabeth Line connection into central London from Maidenhead. The M40 and M4 motorways are also easily accessible.
