5 bed detached house for sale

Winter Hill, Cookham Dean, Berkshire SL6

Winter Hill Cottage is a pretty Edwardian country home, quietly tucked away on a private road adjoining farmland in an elevated position above the River Thames. The house has been lovingly refurbished and extended by the present owners.

The layout is as shown on the enclosed floorplan. The ground floor centres around a spacious reception hall which, in turn, gives access to the study, cloakroom, sitting room with doors to the rear garden and drawing room with open fire, and further doors to the rear. The stunning kitchen, with a three oven aga and central island, is open to the breakfast/dining area which has doors to the morning terrace. Beyond the kitchen there is a useful utility room with dog shower.

Upstairs, the spacious landing leads to the principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom and walk in wardrobe, as well as a further four bedrooms, of which one also has an en suite shower room. Completing the first floor is a family bathroom.

Gardens & Grounds:
Winter Hill Cottage is approached through a wooden gate and across the gravelled driveway, leading to the front of the house and the double garage, where there is access around either side of the property to the gardens at the rear.

Running the full length of the rear of the house are delightful terraces with two areas set under pergolas creating lovely shaded sitting and dining areas. These lead onto the lawns which are laid principally to lawn and protected by a combination of mature hedging and fencing.
