Description
East Burnham Well is an attractive country house set in lovely gardens with a substantial attached cottage which has its own driveway access, garaging and garden. Built in 1938 the house has an abundance of character with generous reception rooms, four double bedrooms, mature gardens and triple garaging. The current organisation of the house works extremely well as two dwellings but there is significant potential to merge the two properties into one large house. Located in a secluded position, the house offers the opportunity to access the protected neighbouring woodlands of Burnham Beeches. The house and cottage could do with a degree of modernisation but offer a rare opportunity to buy a large family home in one of the most sought after locations in the area.
