With a great setting overlooking paddocks, this detached house is tucked away in a semi-rural position with lovely views to the rear. The house was originally constructed in the 1960s but has been subject to an extensive, architecturally designed renovation by the current owners and now has a striking, modern appearance with contemporary and elegant interiors. The highlight is certainly the open plan living space at the back of the house, which comprises a kitchen, dining area and family space with excellent natural light provided by the floor-to-ceiling glazed doors on two sides. The two glazed 'walls' can be opened up to the garden on warmer days. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with a range of wall and base units, a central island and a built-in window seat, and there are a number of integrated appliances with further space for laundry machines in the adjoining utility room. Separate to the main living space there is a family room with a wood-burning stove and sliding doors to the garden, as well as a study and a ground floor bedroom with en suite shower room which would be ideal for an au pair or guest accommodation. On the first floor, the principal bedroom is a generous room and has built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room; the vaulted ceiling makes it feel exceptionally light and airy and there are stunning views over the surrounding countryside. There is a further en suite bedroom, three additional double bedrooms and a fabulous family bath and shower room.OutsideApril Cottage has a delightful setting on a well-connected road, with open fields to the rear. The private , gated driveway to the front is an excellent size and can accommodate several vehicles, with further covered parking possible within the attached garage. The garage has two further access doors and its own WC. The gardens to the rear of the house are south facing and bordered by mature trees and hedges around the boundary which provide privacy while not restricting views over the fields beyond. A large, paved terrace wraps around the back of the house and there are additional seating areas and a sizeable shed for storage.SituationThe picturesque and highly regarded village of Cookham has a thriving community and is set within glorious rolling countryside close to the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
