4 bed detached house for sale

Duffield Lane, Stoke Poges, Slough SL2

Beautifully presented period cottage with outbuildings set in landscaped gardens.

Description
Mulberry Cottage dates back to about 1850 and was originally the Gardeners Cottage to the neighbouring Stoke Court. This was then extended in the 1950s and joined with the adjacent Coach House. Perfect for family life, the accommodation is beautifully appointed, seamlessly blending the old and the new.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors with the front door opening into the reception hall, with built in storage, and leading to a quietly situated study, perfect for home working. Across the hall the superb kitchen/dining/family room is a stunning open-plan sociable space, ideally suited for growing families. The Neptune bespoke fitted kitchen provides excellent storage, complemented by marble worktops and integrated appliances. A large island incorporates a breakfast bar for informal dining. Bi-fold doors extend the space to the outside terrace area. Further accommodation includes a playroom opening into an elegant dual aspect sitting room. Beyond here a cosy TV room enjoys views over the garden. A boot room lies adjacent, perfect for muddy boots and coats with a door to the rear garden. In addition on the ground floor is a fully fitted utility room, bedroom and adjacent bathroom, offering potential as a granny or au pair suite.

The cottage benefits from two staircases leading to the bedroom accommodation on the first floor. Stairs from the playroom lead to a characterful double bedroom, overlooking the garden with an adjacent spacious bathroom. There are two further bedrooms accessed from the reception hall alongside a well-appointed bathroom.

Electric gates open on to a gravelled driveway with parking for several vehicles. A wide terrace provides the perfect spot for outside dining and entertaining. The gardens are delightful and beautifully landscaped with well stocked beds and borders. A large lawn area is interspersed with a variety of specimen trees, an ornamental pond and a pretty patio with doors from the TV room. Outbuildings include a charming cinema room, summer house and detached garage with adjoining garden room/gym offering excellent flexibility of use.
