Christmas Lane, Farnham Common, Buckinghamshire SL2

Period family home occupying a tucked away position set in beautiful wraparound gardens.

Description
This beautifully presented home occupies a lovely, tucked away position on sought after Christmas Lane on the edge of Burnham Beeches. The property is set on a generous plot with landscaped, wraparound gardens providing a delightful backdrop to the house. Disney Cottage dates back to about 1946, sympathetically extended in the 1990s, and is full of character with a host of interesting design features. Ideal for commuters, the Elizabeth Line operates from Burnham station, just over four miles away with trains into central London.

On the ground floor the accommodation is generous and offers a practical layout with three reception rooms, ideal for family life. The front door opens into the reception hall, with a guest cloakroom, stairs to the first floor and wood flooring extending to much of the ground floor. The sitting room is well proportioned with a brick fireplace and open fire alongside a striking curved bay window. Beyond this room is a good sized dining room, with French doors to the garden, perfect for entertaining in the summer months. In addition is a study, with built-in furniture and a cosy family room/snug. The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys a dual aspect and an array of country style units with a range oven, complemented by a mix of granite and wood worktops. There is ample room for a table and just off the kitchen is a utility room with storage and space for appliances.

On the first floor are five bedrooms, many with eaves storage and a family bath/shower room. The principal bedroom enjoys an en suite bath/shower room and built-in wardrobes, while the guest bedroom also benefits from a beautiful bay window and an en suite shower room. The landing is generous and all the bedrooms have views over the gardens.

The gardens are a real feature of Disney Cottage wrapping around the house on three sides. High hedging and mature trees provide privacy and seclusion. The garden is landscaped to provide areas of lawn, pathways and wide, well stocked beds and borders. One side of the garden borders woodland with gate access while to the rear is an attractive courtyard and terrace area, perfect for outside dining and entertaining family and friends. In addition the garden benefits from a wood store and a summer house, which could be utilized as a home office or studio. A spacious gravelled driveway to the front provides ample space for several vehicles and leads to the double garage.
