A detached character home in a particularly lovely position in the highly desirable village of Cookham Dean, with period features, far reaching country views and mature gardens
Nightingale Cottage is quietly situated on a country lane within the village of Cookham Dean, overlooking fields and trees to the front with a delightful green aspect. The character home has Victorian origins and provides a spacious and well planned layout. The cottage has a number of lovely features including cast iron fireplaces, wood floors and beams.
The inviting interiors have been well maintained and are presented in a mostly neutral style, making personalisation easy for the new owner. The interiors have excellent flow and are deceptively spacious, providing four reception areas on top of a good size kitchen which acts as the hub of the house. The main living area comprises sitting room and dining room, perfect for family gatherings. There is also a family room off the kitchen with French windows opening to the garden, and a further large reception room which could serve multiple purposes; a games room, home office, gym, or the like.
The farmhouse-style kitchen has a range oven, attractive tiling and a Belfast-style sink, with ample storage within shaker style solid Oak cabinetry. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom and dressing area, and a smaller fifth single bedroom which would make a great study, or a dressing room for the main bedroom.
The cottage sits in a sunny elevated position above the road, looking out over fields. The sun rises over the view to the front, passing over the house to provide light to the rear patio in the afternoon and evening. There is off-street parking for two cars on a private driveway and a neat front garden laid to lawn and bordered by shrubs. A covered side passage is used to access the rear garden, which is a delightful west-facing space much larger than the frontage suggests. Mature trees and hedges around the boundary make it feel very private, and there are well-maintained borders, paved terrace and a pergola seating area draped in impressive wisteria.
