Property description
A characterful, private and high specification family home on the highly desirable Abbotsbrook Estate in Bourne End. Perfect for the station, village and river Thames marina.
Description
Withy Cottage enjoys a privileged position on the Abbotsbrook Estate, on one of the area’s best roads with excellent access to local amenities and walks. The house was built in 1901 and is one of a few remaining original properties on the estate, offering a wealth of character features including the original windows on the front elevations (now encased in double glazing), feature fireplaces and exposed beams. The period character of the home is beautifully complemented by an array of modern additions; the house has been subject to a programme of renovations, including two separate glazed rooms, underfloor heating in the conservatory and ensuites, adding built-in storage, a garage conversion and full cosmetic redecoration. Large windows throughout the home, coupled with the two conservatories, make the house feel fantastically light, and the well-planned layout offers ample space for parties, dinners and family nights in.
This handsome Edwardian home greets you at the entrance hall, which flows into a generous reception hall. From here you’re lead into a large informal kitchen/dining room providing beautiful bespoke handmade wooden cabinets, Aga and an adjoining utility. The ground floor further provides a formal sitting room, office, drawing room and a cloakroom with WC. There is also access to the gym, which could equally make a great playroom or studio. Upstairs there are four generous double bedrooms; one of which is en suite, one has a private balcony, and all benefit from built-in storage. There is also a family bathroom and a separate shower room.
Outside
The good-size plot is approached via a large gravel driveway, which provides ample off-street parking and is screened from the road by mature hedging. The rear garden is an excellent size, fully enclosed by well-established trees and shrubs for a high degree of privacy and with several borders, raised flowerbeds and seating areas for garden furniture. In the centre is a large, level lawn, and there’s also a built-in curved seating area used for a firepit.
