Baylham Cottage is a beautifully presented double-fronted character home, dating back to circa 1900 and ideally located just 400 metres from the highly regarded Gordon’s School in West End. Offering approximately 2,567 sq ft of versatile accommodation and commuting distance to London, this spacious and thoughtfully extended property combines period charm with contemporary family living.
The cottage exudes a wealth of character and original features, with generous room proportions and elegant design details throughout.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes four double bedrooms on the first floor, each with built-in wardrobes. The principal suite benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and a recently updated ensuite shower room, finished to a high standard. Bedroom two also enjoys the convenience of its own ensuite shower room, making it ideal for guests or older children. A beautifully appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and features a freestanding roll-top bath, shower, bespoke vanity unit with inset basin, and WC.
On the ground floor, the property offers a highly adaptable layout, perfectly suited to modern family life. To the front, a welcoming sitting room with a stove provides a cosy and stylish living space, while a separate study, fitted with bespoke shelving and its own stove offers an ideal home office or library for book lovers.
To the rear, a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining/living area spans the width of the property and forms the heart of the home. This expansive space is filled with natural light, courtesy of two sky lanterns and wide bi-folding doors that open directly onto the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with timeless shaker-style cabinetry, polished black granite worktops, and includes a breakfast bar with seating for two. A separate pantry and utility room offers further storage and laundry facilities.
Additionally, the ground floor features two more versatile rooms. One is currently used as a ground floor bedroom with an adjoining shower room, While the other serves as a games room (and occasional sixth bedroom) ideal for guests or multigenerational living. This space has been designed so it can be easily converted, if needed, to a standalone annex with it’s own external access and plumbing to fit a kitchenette.
Externally, the rear garden is Easterly facing and extends in excess of 110 feet, mainly laid to lawn with a generous patio area ideal for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining. To the front of the property, a large gated driveway provides ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles. There is a large tool shed and separate furniture shed at the rear, as well as a lockable bike shed at the front.
