Cottage for sale in High Street, Cookham SL6

A quintessential country cottage, offering a wealth of character and original features, in a sought after Cookham village location.

The gorgeous two bedroom home, named Badgers Cottage owing to its distinctive black and white exterior, is thought to be as much as 500 years old. With huge timber beams, believed to be from old ships, the architecture is remarkable, with an authentic cottage feel throughout.

A pretty front courtyard sets the house back from the road, a lovely spot to catch the morning sunshine and chat to passing neighbours. The location is idyllic, with open green spaces a few yards away and the river Thames just 500 yards from the door. Cookham village is home to an eclectic mix of character homes, its olde worlde charm immediately apparent. There are numerous independent retailers, with restaurants, pubs and shops all close at hand, a dream lifestyle for all ages.

A stable door opens into the front sitting room, with beamed walls, open fireplace and laminate flooring. The separate dining room in the centre, with original timber ceiling, provides a versatile space that could be a study or snug, also with an open fire. A rear extension has enlarged the kitchen into a generous space, with room for dining and ample storage. There are integrated appliances, plenty of cupboard and counter space, and a large domed skylight filling the room with natural light.

The garden is mainly paved, with a large shed to the rear. There is plenty of space and potential to create a special garden as other neighbours have done. A gate at the rear leads to the parking area directly behind the property, accessed from Berries Road.

There are two double bedrooms, both with vaulted ceilings and some storage space built-in, the master with a lovely outlook across the moor.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this delightful property must be viewed. Call Barker Stone today
