Danes Gardens, Cookham, Berkshire, SL6

A well-proportioned three-bedroom house on a popular private cul de sac less than half a mile from both Cookham station and the High Street

Description

A very charming architect designed property built in the 1960’s, Dormy Croft is replete with Mid Century features including a stone fireplace surround, wood panelling and stone cladding. Sharp lines and large windows create a modern, angular feel, promoting excellent natural light. While this much-loved family home is somewhat dated internally, it presents a fantastic opportunity for modernisation and personalisation. The spacious layout includes an extension and there is scope to extend further if desired, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. The ground floor accommodation comprises an open plan sitting/dining room and conservatory, a separate kitchen and breakfast room with adjoining utility for laundry machines, a study – which would equally make a great second reception room, and a shower room with WC. Upstairs there are three good sized bedrooms, two with double aspect windows including a principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room, plus a further family bathroom.

Dormy Croft is tucked away on a quiet private cul-de sac to the east of central Cookham, bordered by open countryside to the south with good access to local footpaths and bridleways. The property sits within a mature plot enveloped by well-established trees and shrubs affording a high degree of privacy, with the fencing to the rear garden allowing lovely unobstructed views over the surrounding fields and paddocks beyond. The house is approached via a block-paved driveway which leads up to a detached garage, with storage or potting space at the rear. The garden envelops the west and south of the house and is laid to lawn, with shrubs and flowerbeds around the borders and a pretty pond creating textural and colourful interest. An elevated south facing terrace, accessed from the conservatory, provides a sunny space for outdoor entertaining.
