Blind Lane, Bourne End, Buckinghamshire, SL8

Walpoles is an attractive, detached family home, enjoying a quiet and highly private setting with a deceptively large plot approaching half an acre in size. This fine residence, which is offered for sale with no onward chain, features a superb outdoor swimming pool, ample parking and a gated driveway.

The main front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, immediately showcasing a striking feature exposed brick wall and warm wooden flooring that extends throughout, blending character with contemporary style. From here, doors lead to the principal reception rooms, a cloakroom, and stairs rising to the first floor. The generous, triple-aspect sitting room serves as a bright and airy hub, centered around a magnificent feature brick fireplace equipped with a cozy wood-burning stove. Elegant French doors open directly onto the front terrace, creating a seamless transition down to the pool deck. Across the hall, the formal dining room retains its traditional charm with both painted and exposed ceiling beams, a front-aspect window, and a practical serving hatch linking to the kitchen.

The beautifully fitted kitchen features premium granite worktops, underfloor heating, and a high-end range of integrated appliances, including a five-ring gas hob, a dishwasher, and traditional and convection Miele ovens. This culinary space flows naturally into a bright breakfast room at the rear, which features a charming stable door opening to the garden, as well as access to the utility room.

On the first floor, a bright central landing connects four well-proportioned bedrooms one of which is a dedicated home office. The principal bedroom suite is a luxurious retreat featuring built-in wardrobes and an elegant ensuite bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi-style bath and marble-topped vanity. The second bedroom is an exceptionally generous double with fitted wardrobes and eaves storage, while the remaining two double bedrooms enjoy leaded-light windows framing leafy views. A recently re-fitted family shower room, stylishly designed with modern tiling and a walk-in glass enclosure, serves the bedrooms perfectly.

Annexe Accommodation

Accessed conveniently through the utility room—yet benefitting from its own private front entrance—the self-contained annexe offers versatile living space. It comprises a comfortable sitting room with a dedicated kitchenette area, a well-appointed double bedroom, and a modern ensuite shower room.

Gardens and Grounds

The property is set behind a secure, sliding electric gate that opens onto an ample, block-paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles. The front garden enjoys a highly desirable southerly aspect, creating a sun-drenched setting for the heated swimming pool and a paved terrace that surrounds a charming pool house. A separate entertaining terrace sits adjacent to the main sitting room, perfect for alfresco dining. To the rear, the garden is primarily laid to lawn and features a pedestrian gate providing a right-of-way access to an additional lawned orchard garden. The main grounds are fully enclosed by fencing, offering an exceptionally private and secure environment for families.
