A charming detached house with five double bedrooms and far-reaching farmland views, in a well-connected setting on the edge of Denham
Description
In a highly desirable setting on the northern edge of Denham, Gate Cottage is perfectly positioned for enjoying the idyllic surrounding countryside as well as being well connected by road and rail. The cottage is Grade II listed and dates back to the 19th century. The pretty whitewashed building is set under a slate roof and has excellent character, including exposed beams and a stone fireplace inset with a modern wood-burning stove. Now refurbished to a high standard including a loft conversion to create a stunning principal bedroom, the cottage is future proofed for many years to come, with a modern, neutral décor scheme that affords easy personalisation.
Downstairs, the versatile layout includes four double bedrooms at the front of the property, which could equally be used as further reception rooms, a study or playroom, depending on the needs of the new buyer. The living spaces are situated to the rear including an open plan sitting and dining room, a separate kitchen well appointed with attractive cabinetry and built-in appliances, a separate utility room for laundry machines and a family bath/shower room. Upstairs, the principal bedroom incorporates a generous bedroom with roof terrace overlooking the garden and private farmland, two walk-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom.
Outside
Gate Cottage is tucked away on a private no-through lane. The entire plot is enclosed by mature hedges, providing a high degree of privacy, with an electric gated entrance opening to a gravel driveway with ample space for several cars. There is access to a detached double garage from the driveway, while within the rear garden there is a studio and en suite shower room to the back of the garage, as well as an outdoor barn used for entertaining, and a useful storage shed. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, incorporating a variety of mature shrubs and trees, and at the rear an expansive lawn is bordered by raised beds and a sizeable paved terrace perfect for alfresco dining. At the end of the garden, a tranquil pond sits below a covered pergola – the perfect spot for quiet contemplation.
