Beautiful six bedroom Victorian family home in the heart of Farnham Common overlooking Burnham Beeches.

Description

Datchet House is a charming attached Victorian family home, full of history and character, superbly located directly opposite Burnham Beeches. Features include wood panelling, high ceilings, sash windows and oak wood flooring.

An entrance porch opens into a spacious boot room, ideal for muddy coats and boots alongside a guest cloakroom. The kitchen/breakfast room is welcoming, perfectly in keeping with the house’s period. Enjoying a dual aspect, both windows have built-in seating incorporating neatly designed storage and lovely views of the garden. The kitchen is well equipped with a range of units, Corian and wood worktops and integrated appliances. Leading through from the kitchen is the dining room, with striking American oak wall panelling, a feature brick fireplace with a wood burner and a door opening on to the garden. Further reception space includes a conservatory with French doors to the garden and a dual aspect sitting room, with a bay window and a marble fireplace with woodburner. A panelled staircase from this room leads to the first floor.

On the first floor the landing is generous and is currently used as a seating area. The dual-aspect principal bedroom has wonderful views over Burnham Beeches and an en suite bath/shower room. There are two further bedrooms, both dual aspect and one with a feature fireplace, served by a family bath/shower room. A laundry room is also located on this floor, with space for appliances.

Stairs lead to the top floor with three further bedrooms, one currently used as a study. Two bedrooms overlook Burnham Beeches, one with fitted wardrobes, and two with generous eaves storage. Two of the bedrooms are accessed via an inner hallway with a good range of fitted wardrobes. A bath/shower room completes the accommodation on this floor.

The property is approached from a residential road over a gravelled carriage driveway, with a garage and parking for several cars. A side gate leads to the garden which wraps around the house and is mainly laid to lawn with well-maintained flower and shrub borders. A small patio area is a good spot to relax and enjoy the garden and leads to the side door. To the side is a large wood store, a shed and a greenhouse. The garden is well enclosed by fencing, trees and mature shrubs giving a good deal of privacy.
