Two bedroom cottage in an idyllic setting in the heart of this charming hamlet on the edge of Burnham Beeches.

Description

Enjoying an idyllic setting in the heart of this tranquil rural hamlet, Latchmoor Cottage exudes character and is beautifully presented throughout. The property enjoys the best of both worlds with the countryside on the doorstep yet just about two miles from the Elizabeth line with fast trains to London. Tucked away on the edge of beautiful Burnham Beeches, this lovely thatched cottage is set in grounds approaching a third of an acre, with generous gardens to the front and rear.

A charming thatched entrance porch opens into the reception hall, with a guest cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. The sitting room enjoys a dual aspect and features a cosy wood burning stove. Doors from the living space lead into the bright conservatory, a perfect spot to enjoy the garden and with door access on to the terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully appointed with an excellent range of units, complemented by granite worktops and integrated appliances. A peninsula unit offers a convenient breakfast bar, perfect for casual dining. Beyond the kitchen, a formal dining room also benefits from French doors on to the terrace. A laundry/utility room with a stable door to the garden completes the ground floor.

The first floor features two generous double bedrooms, each enjoying views over the front and rear gardens. The principal bedroom is fitted with a range of wardrobes and an en suite bathroom, comprising a roll top slipper bath with overhead shower. The second bedroom, also complete with fitted wardrobes, benefits from an en suite bathroom with a double ended bath and overhead shower.

Approached through a five bar gate, the cottage sits behind a gravel driveway providing off street parking and leading to a timber framed carport with an adjoining store room. The front garden is lawned and enclosed by post and rail fencing, with gated side access. To the rear, the terrace area wraps around one side of the house, while a vegetable garden lies to the other. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, gently merging into a woodland area with mature beech trees and views over the neighbouring woodland beyond.
