    About this property

    • Nestled in the centre of Cookham Dean, Honeypots has a fabulous setting for enjoying the many benefits of village life, being a few hundred metres from the well-respected primary school, the church and two popular pubs. The semi-detached property was built in 1890 and has been modernised and extended in recent years, with updates including full cosmetic redecoration and a new boiler in 2022. There is planning permission for a further kitchen extension (24/02562/FULL) and a certificate of lawfulness for development of a detached annexe (25/00990/CPD).

      The well-proportioned interiors are attractively presented, incorporating elements of the house's original character combined with modern additions. A neutral colour palette poses a blank canvas for personalisation. Downstairs, an open plan kitchen and breakfast room features a striking red AGA gas-fired stove, with an adjoining utility room, cloakroom with WC and pantry. Separately there's a spacious sitting room with wood-burning stove and French windows opening to the rear garden, and a study which could equally work as a play room or snug. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. All three bedrooms benefit from built-in storage.

      Honeypots is tucked away on a quiet lane at the heart of Cookham Dean, with remote operated electric double gates opening to a generous block-paved driveway. A detached double garage features an electric door, light and power, with an internal staircase leading up to a useful loft room, ideal for storage. The cottage is set within a secluded and well-maintained plot, with gardens that include lawned areas, well-stocked flowerbeds and shrub borders of climbing roses, jasmine, peonies and rosemary, as well as a number of mature trees such as birch and acer. A wide paved terrace wraps around two sides of the house, providing ample space for garden furniture.
