Situated close to the centre of Cookham Dean and set down a long private gravel driveway is this most striking individual home. The late 1960s property has been extensively improved and extended, resulting in a thoughtfully conceived and spacious home of more than 2900 sq. ft. and featuring an impressive elevated wraparound balcony offering a lovely outlook across the gardens and sweeping views over the surrounding countryside of Bisham Woods and the Chilterns. The neutral-toned interiors are well appointed, and include wood floors, two distinctive fireplaces and, in the main bedroom, an impressive six-foot porthole window and a vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses.

The beautifully proportioned accommodation begins with a wide entrance hall and cloakroom/WC. This leads to a triple-aspect open-plan drawing room leading out, in two directions, to the elevated timber balcony; a separate contemporary kitchen, rear hallway with adjoining utility room; and a dual-aspect open-plan sitting room and dining room. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes, and two bath/shower rooms. One of the bedrooms has been adapted to include an accessible shower area and through-floor lift. The two-staircase configuration affords the additional flexibility, if required, of separate upstairs wings.

The property is approached via a 100m private gravel driveway, with parking for several vehicles to the front of the house and access to a two-storey timber open-fronted double garage with studio. Beneath the house are a wood-store alcove and separate boiler room with WC. The elevated wraparound balcony provides an ideal space for entertaining, while the extensive lawns of 1.1 acres have a park-like feel and are bordered by mature trees including a remarkable oak. The panoramic views are a distinguishing feature of this fabulous location.
