Grubwood Lane, Cookham, Berkshire, SL6

A substantial and immaculately presented house with extended accommodation, six double bedrooms and landscaped gardens featuring a swimming pool.

Description

This highly individual and exceptionally well presented house occupies a spacious plot in Cookham Dean, enjoying commanding views over farmland to the front and a well-connected setting less than half a mile via footpath from the village primary school and local pub.

The house has been subject to a variety of improvements in recent years, including a side extension, a roof conversion, full cosmetic modernisation including a new kitchen and bathrooms, and a new boiler. Premium features can be found throughout, such as underfloor heating to areas of the ground floor, built-in storage, engineered wood flooring and a security alarm system. The extensive use of glazing coupled with the high ceilings and spacious room sizes creates a wonderfully light and open feel throughout, while the high standard of internal décor feels fresh and modern, complementing the semi-rural position with its country-inspired design.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and is fantastically spacious: the highlight of the ground floor is the stunning open plan kitchen and dining room, perfect for entertaining with stylish Martin Moore cabinetry, a central island which doubles as a breakfast bar and a built-in breakfast nook. Pocket doors lead to a sitting room and a striking light-filled orangery, and a spacious playroom. There is also a separate utility/boot room and a cloakroom with WC. The first floor has four double bedrooms (two en suite) and a family bathroom, with a further two bedrooms (one en suite) on the second floor.

A detached outbuilding in the garden provides a really useful additional space; perhaps a gym, home office, pool house/games room or guest accommodation.

Outside
Imbers presents a fabulous first impression, set behind a magnificent electric gated entrance with high, manicured hedges providing privacy from the road. The private driveway affords ample parking for several vehicles, with access to the side of the house leading to the rear garden. This is landscaped to a high standard, incorporating a heated swimming pool with a generously sized stone paved terrace, bordered by a sizeable lawn which is enclosed by mature trees, hedging and varied flowerbeds and borders. The garden is perfectly designed for entertaining, with plenty of space for garden furniture and a choice of a detached summerhouse/gym/studio or a covered pergola offering additional space for dining and leisure.
