Hills Lane, Cookham Dean, SL6

Built in the 1950s and later extended, this impressive family home is situated on the favourable western side of Cookham Dean, convenient for accessing the plentiful amenities of Cookham including the station. The detached house has been subject to a variety
of improvements over the years, including a sizeable extension, upgrades to the kitchen and bathrooms and cosmetic redecoration throughout. The house, though extensively modernised, has good character and retains a number of its original features including lovely parquet floors in the main reception room and an open fireplace with brick surround.
Affording almost 3,000 sq ft of space, the house is generously proportioned and ideally sized for family life, with a versatile layout enjoying good flow and a variety of reception spaces to suit all occasions. A highlight is the open plan living space, which serves as the heart of the family home and provides a bright, airy and open plan room with bi-fold doors to the garden and plenty of space for cooking, entertaining and relaxing as a family. Separate to this there are three further spacious reception rooms: a formal dining room also opening to the rear garden, a sittng room/snug at the front of the house and a triple-aspect drawing room with wood-burning stove. The high specification finish can be seen throughout, with the kitchen extension a fine example. Painted cabinetry in soothing heritage green tones is complemented by granite work surfaces, large tiled floors and a number of integrated appliances. In a corner of the kitchen there is a separate utility room with an additional sink and space for laundry machines and a laundry chute from the first floor for ease of access.
The first floor is equally spacious as downstairs and is well configured with five bedrooms – all double size and with built-in storage – arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom is an excellent size and has a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom. The remaining four bedrooms share a family bath/shower room.

Outside

Chandlers is centrally positioned within a sizeable
plot of just over 0.6 acres, accessed via double electric gates which open to a large driveway screened from the road by mature hedging. The wonderfully secluded plot has established trees and planting all around the boundary, making it feel fantastically private. Separate to the main house there is a detached double garage with a useful studio space to the rear, which would be well suited as an annexe for guest accommodation or an au pair. Beautifully landscaped gardens envelop the house with manicured lawns, mature borders and areas for entertaining: a decking terrace and paved patio adjoining the back of the house, and a separate decking area nestled within the corner of the garden to capture the sun.
