High Street, Cookham, Berkshire, SL6

A beautifully appointed character home tucked away in the heart of Cookham, with three bedrooms, a garage and delightful gardens, just over half a mile from the train station.



Description

The Coach House is a very charming pre-1900s property situated at the heart of Cookham, approximately 0.6 miles from the station and moments from the plentiful shops, pubs and cafes of Cookham village centre. Despite its fantastically central position, the house is tucked away in a secluded spot that offers the best of both worlds, with private gardens and yet fabulous access to all that Cookham has to offer.
The house is arranged in a linear style, meaning many of the rooms have a dual aspect views onto both the front and rear gardens, which are attractively landscaped and offer two very different outlooks. Internally the house has been extensively modernised but still offers a wealth of character, including exposed beams and a brick fireplace. The house is decorated in an elegant, traditional style featuring Farrow & Ball paints and has a lovely farmhouse-style kitchen and modern, well appointed bathrooms.

The house is entered onto a welcoming entrance hall, which leads to a ground floor shower room and WC, a study which could equally be used as a snug and a little ‘nook’ area. The study also has useful internal access to the garage. On the opposite side of the hallway there is a sizeable lounge, with French windows opening to the front garden and a wood-burning stove for the cooler months, the kitchen and a fabulous light-filled conservatory opening to the rear courtyard.

The first floor comprises a family shower room and three characterful bedrooms, all with fitted storage. The principal bedroom also boasts an en suite, while the second bedroom features original wooden beams and is currently utilised as a study, demonstrating the property’s versatility.

The property is tucked away off the High Street and hidden behind high walls and mature trees, giving it a wonderfully leafy, ‘secret garden’ feel to the lawned space at the front, with an additional walled and paved courtyard to the rear that’s perfect for outdoor entertaining in the warmer months. The property also benefits from off-street parking and an attached single garage.
