Alderbourne Lane, Buckinghamshire, SL0

Delightful Edwardian cottage ideally located in a semi-rural position and benefiting from a large rear garden.

Description

Nestled in the countryside yet with access into London by road and rail, the cottage lies within the Parish of Fulmer and enjoys a semi-rural location but with the security of neighbours nearby. Believed to be built in about 1907 this delightful property is full of character and overlooks open fields to the front. The rear garden is a real feature of the property, well enclosed with a good deal of privacy.

The property offers characterful accommodation throughout with the front door opening into an entrance porch. Wood flooring flows through to the triple aspect sitting/dining room overlooking the front garden and fields to the rear and side, and an open fire gives a cosy feel. There is ample room for a dining table and separate sitting area and the room enjoys a wonderful outlook over the neighbouring fields. Just off this room the kitchen is well equipped with a range of units and integrated appliances while a door leads out to the rear garden.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the first and second floors. On the first floor is a family bathroom with a four piece suite and two characterful bedrooms both with charming decorative fireplaces and lovely views. The principal bedroom to the front also benefits from a built-in wardrobe.

A further bedroom is located on the top floor overlooking the garden and is of a good size with plenty of light, currently used as a study.

This delightful cottage enjoys an attractive frontage with a shared driveway and gravelled parking area to the front of the property. The rear garden is a delight and cleverly arranged into separate zones with a garden path to the side leading to the far end of the garden. Adjoining the house is a lovely lavender bordered patio, perfect for outside dining. A large lawn area, well enclosed with hedging, is bordered with flowerbeds providing colour and scent. Beyond the lawn a sunken patio area provides a further seating and dining spot alongside an ornamental pond. There is the added benefit of a coal bunker to the side of the cottage. A single garage is located to the rear and there is gated vehicular access leading to a further driveway and a five bar gate opening on to the lane. This whole area to the rear has potential for development, subject to the usual planning permissions.

There are excellent local sporting amenities including the highly regarded Buckinghamshire Golf Club and many beautiful riverside and woodland walks, including those in Denham Country Park, Black Park, Langley Park and Burnham Beeches.
