Description

A spacious detached home on the beautiful private Abbotsbrook Estate, an idyllic setting in the village adjacent to the river Thames. Great accommodation and good privacy.

Description

April Cottage is an individually designed, detached home built in the 1960s and architect remodelled in 2010. It is situated on the private Abbotsbrook Estate, one of the loveliest and most desirable addresses in Bourne End. The house is close to footpaths and streams, and there is pedestrian access through the estate to join up with the Thames Path and other routes along the river. The house is bright and well presented and has been extended to the side and rear to create a substantial and spacious home of 3600 sq ft, offering a flexible floor plan that offers up to six bedrooms or the option to use bedrooms as additional reception rooms on the ground floor. In addition to the extension the house has been refurbished to a high standard and features a light-filled, modern kitchen with ‘tiger walnut’ work surfaces and a wide variety of appliances, a contemporary steel and wood staircase and airy, attractively appointed bedrooms.

The kitchen is a fantastic option for entertaining, featuring an open-plan design which integrates the expansive dining and living room to the rear, with lovely views over the rear garden. In addition there is a large separate reception room with log burning stove, a vaulted home office with log burner and a spacious utility room. There are three double bedrooms on the ground floor, currently used as a fully equipped gym, an additional home office and a bedroom, plus a contemporary shower room with a WC. Upstairs the three large double bedrooms are all en suite with built-in wardrobes.


Outside
April Cottage occupies a good-size plot, set back from the road behind a gravel driveway with ample off-street parking and a pretty front garden with a rose path lined by fragrant lavender. Mature trees make it feel secluded and screened from the road. The rear garden has been professionally landscaped and is equally private, enclosed by well-established trees and wooden panel fencing, with a lawn in the centre and shrubs, flowerbeds and borders providing a splash of colour. A large terrace adjoining the house is perfect for entertaining and there’s a second, covered seating area with an outdoor fireplace towards the rear. A south-facing vegetable garden and greenhouse complete the property.

Some neighbouring homes have garages within the frontages, so it may be that a buyer seeking a garage might seek to build one at April Cottage, subject to obtaining planning consent.
