High Street, Cookham, SL6

Badgers Cottage forms part of an attractive terrace of cottages believed to have been built between the 16th and 18th centuries, and later extended and improved. The home has a characterful, whitewashed frontage with exposed timbers, with the original features continuing inside including exposed beams and open fireplaces. While some areas of the house have been modernised, including the kitchen, there is scope to personalise further.

The ground floor is entered directly onto the sitting room, which has a fireplace and open access to the adjoining dining room. At the rear of the house there is a spacious and well equipped kitchen lit from above by a roof lantern. A lobby area opens to a family bathroom and the rear garden. Upstairs there are two good-size double bedrooms, one of which has an en suite cloakroom with WC.

Outside

The cottage enjoys a charming, mid-terrace setting on Cookham’s delightful High Street, facing onto the open green space of Cookham Moor – a popular spot for dog walking – and with a highly regarded pub, The Crown of Cookham, just around the corner. There is off-street parking to the rear within a shared gravel parking area, shared with the neighbouring cottages. A pedestrian gate provides access from the parking area to the rear garden, which is enclosed by wooden panel fencing and laid to low maintenance paving, with a number of shrubs around the borders. The front garden also paved, is enclosed by a white picket fence, providing an inviting first impression.
