Blackpond Lane, Farnham Royal, Slough, Buckinghamshire, SL2

Detached period home with versatile accommodation, generous gardens and gated driveway conveniently located for Burnham Beeches and the Elizabeth Line.

Description

Dating back to about 1900, this well-presented detached home has been thoughtfully extended and improved over the years to create a substantial residence, now offering superbly proportioned accommodation with excellent reception space and a generous garden. Set behind electric gates, the property enjoys a generous plot and is conveniently located on the edge of beautiful Burnham Beeches and less than three miles from the Elizabeth Line at Burnham station.

The ground floor features a spacious reception hall with guest cloakroom and boot room, with wood flooring extending through much of the accommodation. At its heart is a superb open-plan kitchen/breakfast room with extensive units, Silestone work surfaces, integrated appliances and an island with additional storage and breakfast bar. Three reception rooms provide flexibility, including an impressive family room adjoining the kitchen. The sitting room features a wood-burning stove, while the adjoining dining room has glazed doors opening from the reception hall, allowing natural light throughout the ground floor.

The first floor is arranged over two staircases, adding character and individuality to the accommodation. Bedroom two benefits from built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room and could equally serve as the principal bedroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bath/shower room.

The second staircase leads to two further bedrooms, including a particularly characterful room with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. This impressive space is well suited to use as a principal bedroom and benefits from a private door providing direct access to the adjacent family bathroom.

The property enjoys a generous rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and providing an excellent expanse for children to play or for outdoor entertaining. A paved terrace, perfect for al fresco dining, adjoins the house and incorporates a loggia, providing a welcome shady retreat during the warmer months. An outbuilding provides additional practical space and incorporates a WC, shower and wash basin. To the front, electrically operated gates open on to an extensive brick-paved driveway providing off-street parking for numerous vehicles. A separate studio, formerly the double garage, currently utilised as a gym and recreation space offers potential for a variety of uses including a home office or games room, although it is no longer suitable for vehicle storage.
