5 bed detached house for sale

The Avenue, The Abbotsbrook, Bourne End SL8

April Cottage is an individual, architect remodelled house full of light, offering a generous 3,690 sq ft of living space.
The house is bright and well presented and has been extended to the side and rear to create a substantial and spacious home. In addition to the extension, the house has been refurbished to a high standard.
A flexible floor plan offers up to six bedrooms or the option to use the ground floor bedrooms as additional reception rooms.
The front door opens onto an impressive galleried double height reception hall, flooded with light from a large feature window and skylights. The tiled entrance hall leads to the kitchen, the three downstairs bedrooms, a contemporary shower room with WC, a large reception room with log burning stove and a large home office with a vaulted ceiling and log burner. A modern steel and wood staircase leads upstairs to the three attractively appointed large double bedrooms with built in wardrobes and each of which is en suite.
Of the three downstairs bedrooms, one is currently being used as a fully equipped gym, and another as a home office with French doors to the garden. However, all three could also be converted into a self-contained annex.
The bright modern kitchen is open-plan and flows through to an expansive dining and family area, making it a fantastic space for entertaining. The kitchen has a range of units and a central island, all with solid wood ‘tiger walnut’ work surfaces, and a wide variety of appliances. The dining and family area has two large skylights and underfloor heating, with large windows and two sets of French doors to the rear, affording lovely views over the garden. A side door from the kitchen area leads to a spacious utility/boot room, with a further door to the garden.

Outside

April Cottage occupies a generous, private plot of a quarter of an acre. Set back from the road with ample off-street parking and attractive front and rear gardens, both of which have been professionally landscaped. Mature trees give the gardens a good degree of privacy and year-round interest.
A paved pathway leads to the front door, and there are planted borders and an area of lawn. There is plenty of scope to create a double carport or garage, subject to obtaining the relevant permissions. Gates provide access on both sides of the property to the rear.
The rear garden has a wide patio ideal for entertaining, as well as a pergola covering a seating area, adjacent to a firepit. A large elliptical lawn area is surrounded by mature planted beds. A south-facing vegetable garden and greenhouse are located to one side of the property.
