Description
April Cottage is an individually designed, detached home built in the 1960s and architect remodelled in 2010. It is situated on the private Abbotsbrook Estate, one of the loveliest and most desirable addresses in Bourne End. The house is close to footpaths and streams, and there is pedestrian access through the estate to join up with the Thames Path and other routes along the river. The house is bright and well presented and has been extended to the side and rear to create a substantial and spacious home of 3600 sq ft, offering a flexible floor plan that offers up to six bedrooms or the option to use bedrooms as additional reception rooms on the ground floor. In addition to the extension the house has been refurbished to a high standard and features a light-filled, modern kitchen with ‘tiger walnut’ work surfaces and a wide variety of appliances, a contemporary steel and wood staircase and airy, attractively appointed bedrooms.
The kitchen is a fantastic option for entertaining, featuring an open-plan design which integrates the expansive dining and living room to the rear, with lovely views over the rear garden. In addition there is a large separate reception room with log burning stove, a vaulted home office with log burner and a spacious utility room. There are three double bedrooms on the ground floor, currently used as a fully equipped gym, an additional home office and a bedroom, plus a contemporary shower room with a WC. Upstairs the three large double bedrooms are all en suite with built-in wardrobes.
Outside
April Cottage occupies a good-size plot, set back from the road behind a gravel driveway with ample off-street parking and a pretty front garden with a rose path lined by fragrant lavender. Mature trees make it feel secluded and screened from the road. The rear garden has been professionally landscaped and is equally private, enclosed by well-established trees and wooden panel fencing, with a lawn in the centre and shrubs, flowerbeds and borders providing a splash of colour. A large terrace adjoining the house is perfect for entertaining and there’s a second, covered seating area with an outdoor fireplace towards the rear. A south-facing vegetable garden and greenhouse complete the property.
Location
Abbotsbrook Estate is a highly desirable private estate in Bourne End, adjacent to Bourne End Marina, which offers the convenience of a village-centre location. It is beautifully landscaped and tree-lined, with streams that meander through picturesque residential lanes and provide water access to the river Thames. The Estate is managed by its residents and provides a wonderful environment, especially for families.
The thriving village of Bourne End is situated on the banks of the river Thames, with a charming marina. Popular with London commuters, young families and retirees alike, the village amenities include shops, restaurants and pubs, including as well as a station to London Paddington (via connection at Maidenhead).
The nearby towns of Beaconsfield, Marlow and Maidenhead offer wider shopping and facilities, with an eclectic mix of independent and national retailers. The village nestles in glorious Green Belt rolling countryside and a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Outdoor pursuits are numerous, such as sailing, rowing, golf, football, cricket and rugby. Schooling around the area is renowned with a number of state, grammar and private options.
For commuters, Bourne End station provides a superb link to Maidenhead, with London Paddington accessible in as little as 40 minutes. Maidenhead (11 mins from Bourne End station) with Crossrail services, provides a superb link to The City and Canary Wharf. The M40 London-bound is accessed at Junction 3, four miles away; the M4 is about eight miles away at J7.
Directions
From Bourne End station head northwest on Station Road and at the mini roundabout take the first exit onto The Parade. Continue straight on and after a short distance turn left onto the private Abbotsbrook Estate, via Farm Road. At the t-junction turn right; the house will be on the right-hand side after about 150 metres.
