A detached family home in a lovely position, near to Bisham Woods, with immaculately presented interiors and attractively landscaped gardens

Description

Situated in a fabulous semi-rural position just moments from Bisham Woods, with its many walking trails, is this attractive detached family home of about 2700 sq ft. The property enjoys a prime setting in Cookham Dean and enjoys lovely views to the front over open farmland. The property has been extensively improved since 2017 including a garage conversion to create the dining room and new dormer windows to the front and back. The upgrades have included a number of premium additions such as Kahrs Oak flooring in the study and sitting room, a McAvoy and Rowley kitchen with granite work surfaces and an impressive en suite to the principal bedroom with a roll-top bath and separate shower.

The accommodation is well planned and perfectly suited to family life, offering plenty of space for both entertaining at home and the demands of modern family living. On the ground floor, the L-shaped reception room is dual aspect and has a wood-burning stove and access to the garden. There is also a lovely kitchen/breakfast room with space for a table, a study, utility room, formal dining room and a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs the main bedroom has en suite facilities and two dressing rooms, while the remaining three bedrooms are all double size and share two separate family bath/shower rooms.

Midcroft is set back from the road behind a sizeable block-paved driveway. The garden to the rear is an excellent size and features a large, level lawn, a patio to one side with a pizza oven and space for pots and additional planting, and a timber summerhouse which has been divided to create storage. The garden features a number of trees and shrubs and has been landscaped for easy maintenance.
