Honey Lane, Hurley, Maidenhead, Berkshire, SL6

A modern three bedroom cottage in an idyllic position, with countryside views.

Description

Apple Tree Cottages is a charming period cottage which has been thoughtfully renovated and extended in recent times to maximise space and take full advantage of the breathtaking, far reaching views across Berkshire and neighbouring counties. Occupying a desirable Green Belt setting, the property enjoys a particularly attractive outlook, with woodland to the front owned by the Forestry Commission and land to the rear owned by Berkshire College of Agriculture, helping to preserve the surrounding countryside.

Executed with meticulous attention to detail, the property has been comprehensively remodelled and re imagined for contemporary living in 2014. The result is a home that successfully blends period character with the comfort and efficiency expected of a new build standard.

The ground floor has been designed with open plan living in mind. Generous reception spaces feature large glazed bi fold doors and rooflights, flooding the house with natural light and framing the exceptional views. The well appointed kitchen/dining area forms the heart of the home, centred around a substantial oak island with informal seating.

Steps lead down to a garden room, where further bi fold doors open onto a large terrace, creating an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. The cosy sitting room benefits from oak flooring and has provisions for a log burning stove, while a useful study offers flexibility for home working. A guest cloakroom and a practical utility cupboard are located off the entrance hall.

The first floor accommodation is equally impressive. The principal bedroom suite enjoys magnificent views and incorporates built in wardrobes and a stylish wet room with separate WC. There are two further bedrooms, served by a family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath with shower over.

Beyond, the principal garden is laid to lawn, gently framing the house and enjoying the far reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
