High StreetCookham, Berkshire, SL6 9SF

Moor Cottage has an unbeatable setting in the heart of charming Cookham, situated directly on the village High Street overlooking the war memorial and the open expanse of Cookham Moor – perfect for dog walks – and within a level walk of a range of amenities, from day-to-day shops to the station (with its Elizabeth Line connection at Maidenhead into the City). The character home was original constructed as a private dwelling in 1836 and later used as a residential care home, before being meticulously transformed back into a fine house by the current owner. It is presented to an exceptional standard, with modern touches complementing the Victorian character features and excellent natural light throughout – further enhanced by the high ceilings and clever use of roof lanterns in the kitchen.

The décor features a mix of original character elements, such as fireplaces, the Victorian staircase and stained-glass windows complemented by modern additions like new windows and bathrooms. The house has been renovated from top to bottom and also benefits from a full redecoration, underfloor heating and a lift. The stylish kitchen is a particular highlight; installed in 2022, it features bespoke cabinetry, a variety of premium appliances, a breakfast bar, a pantry, utility room and a built-in seating area. Double doors open to the adjoining family room, a stunning space with a double-height ceiling and ‘floating' wood-burning stove. Separate to the family accommodation there are two formal reception rooms, one being a living room and the other a quiet evening room with fitted bar. At the front of the house is a good size study, in addition to a cloakroom with WC.

The bedrooms are arranged over the top two storeys, accessed by a beautifully restored staircase to large first and second floor central hallways. The principal suite is particularly special with a large fitted dressing room and en suite bath/shower room with double vanity. There are six further bedrooms and three further bathrooms. The bedrooms are each large doubles with high ceilings, and the lift operates to all storeys in the house.

Outside
Hidden behind the imposing gated entrance, the gardens at Moor Cottage are a fabulous surprise. The gates swing open to a gravel driveway leading past a delightful terrace to a generous parking area and a detached double garage, behind which there is a secluded and beautifully landscaped garden, enclosed by a variety of trees, well-stocked herbaceous borders comprising grasses, herbs, shrubs and colourful flowering varieties. The central lawn is set with paved paths leading to a water feature, a terrace and a decking area with a garden swing.
