Green Lane, Burnham, Buckinghamshire, SL1

Set back from the road and adorned with wisteria, Balmoral on Green Lane is a charming four-bedroom Arts and Crafts detached home, built in 1953 by the renowned Bunce Brothers Builders. Full of character and timeless appeal, this welcoming family home is ideally located close to excellent schools and the Elizabeth Line. With potential scope for extension, it offers a rare opportunity to create a forever home in a popular location.

Stepping into Balmoral, you're greeted by a spacious hallway and the warmth of original oak herringbone parquet flooring, which flows seamlessly through the main living and dining areas. The kitchen/breakfast room is thoughtfully designed and finished with contemporary tiling, while the generous sitting room opens through double doors onto a covered terrace—offering peaceful views over the expansive, south-facing garden. The ground floor also includes a separate formal dining room and a beautifully appointed guest WC.

Upstairs, natural light pours through a tall staircase window, framing sweeping views of the rear garden. The first floor features four spacious double bedrooms. One offers access to a private terrace, while Bedroom Two includes fitted wardrobes for convenient storage. The luxurious family bathroom, updated in 2023, is fitted with Porcelanosa tiles, a floor-to-ceiling mirrored wall, a Crosswater vanity unit, and an American walnut basin. A separate WC enhances everyday convenience.

A pull-down ladder leads to a fully insulated loft, offering clear potential for conversion into additional living space—perfect for those seeking to future-proof their home.

Garden and Grounds

Beyond the double wooden front gates lies a peaceful front garden and an extended driveway, providing ample parking and a grand sense of arrival. Situated on the highly sought-after Green Lane—known for its charming lamp posts, grassy verges, and mature hedges—Balmoral balances privacy with presence. A ‘secret’ garden sits discreetly behind a graceful yew hedge, adding to its unique charm.

The home retains its original Crittall Homelight leaded steel and oak-framed windows, now lovingly restored with brass handles and rich oak surrounds—an elegant tribute to its architectural heritage.

Outside, the mature 90-foot (approx. 27-metre) rear garden is a private oasis, framed by sculpted, irrigated borders and enclosed by towering copper beech and laurel hedges. This tranquil space also includes a manicured lawn, greenhouse, and wooden shed—ideal for families or gardening enthusiasts alike.
