About this property
Hatherley is an early Edwardian character home, built in 1903 to a traditional construction in an imposing double-fronted design. Though largely modernised, the house retains a number of character features including original fireplaces and stained glass windows. Bay windows to the front let in excellent natural light and the generously proportioned, high ceilinged rooms have a fantastically spacious feel. The house is tucked away at the end of a quiet road, and has excellent access to local footpaths through pleasant countryside while being ideally connected to the village centre and station, both less than a mile away, as well as Bourne End Academy.
The interiors are well presented and ready for immediate occupation having been refitted in the early 2000s, though offer great potential for further improvement and modernisation by the new owner. The layout, with its choice of reception rooms and large conservatory to the rear, is well planned for entertaining and the garden presents a further space for dining outside in the warmer months.
The central hallway leads a cloakroom WC and the two reception rooms at the front of the house, currently set out as a sitting room and an office. To the rear there is a kitchen/breakfast room and adjoining utility room, and the conservatory which has French windows opening to the rear garden. Upstairs there is a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, three further well-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside
Notably for this property there is front and rear access to the right of the house and off-street parking on a private driveway and a detached double garage rare on this stretch of private road. The house is set behind a pretty walled garden to the front, with a pedestrian gate opening to a path to the front door. The rear garden is an excellent size and has mature trees and shrubs around the boundary providing a feeling of privacy. There's a terrace adjoining the conservatory and a second paved area to the rear offering a choice of places to sit and enjoy the outside space.
