Popes Lane, Cookham Dean, Berkshire, SL6

A charming and beautifully presented detached cottage set amongst the Cookham Commons, with lovely countryside views

Description

In a sought-after, setting overlooking the pretty countryside to the south of Cookham Dean is this absolutely charming, detached ‘chocolate box’ cottage, believed to have been built in the 1850s. Old Daniels is moments from footpaths and the Cookham Commons – famous for their carefully managed grasslands and village greens – yet just over a mile from Cookham station and within a short distance of day-to-day amenities. The delightful home possesses masses of character and has been extended and renovated to an exceptional standard, creating a stylish and modern home with a wealth of desirable premium features.

The accommodation is deceptively spacious yet still retains its ‘cottage charm’, with heritage colours and patterns throughout. A warm and welcoming snug leads to a bright and light-filled garden room, a separate sitting room and an open plan kitchen and dining room featuring granite surfaces and a range oven – all of the rooms provide great options for entertaining. There is also a utility room, a cloakroom and a study. Upstairs there are three/four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite shower room a separate fitted dressing room and a stylish family bathroom.

Old Daniels enjoys a highly desirable setting within Cookham Dean, adjoining the National Trust land of the Cookham Commons and with countryside views to the front. The house is set within attractively landscaped and beautifully maintained gardens behind a picket fence, designed in a cottage style to complement the home. The gardens wrap around three sides of the house and are largely laid to lawn, bordered by a colourful and varied selection of shrubs and trees. There are two pedestrian gates to the front and one to the side, which accesses the private parking area and the detached garage. The rear garden is a riot of colour in the spring and summer, and features a patio area and a summerhouse from which to enjoy the scene, which includes a pretty magnolia tree.
