House For Sale £1,750,000
The Garden House was inspired by a Tom Ford motion picture, with a striking 1950's architectural influence, the unique and individual nature of the home is the product of a bold vision, accomplished after 6 years of passion, determination and uncompromising attention to detail.
Danes Gardens is beautifully situated to take advantage of all aspects of Cookham life, the desirable location is highly convenient with the train station and village centre only half a mile away. There are nearby footpaths and bridleways through woods, fields and to the River.
The bespoke solid wood front door immediately sets the tone for the impressive home, stepping into the entrance hall is a veritable feast of interior design features; smooth Pyro Lava flooring with inset Zehnder trench heating, Italian polished plaster sweeps up the stairwell and Lumicor storage provides ambient lighting. The clean lines are given warmth through the extensive use of natural Iroko wood and matt bronze switches, whilst the space is flooded with light courtesy of full height glazing. The hall opens into the L-shaped living and entertaining area with lovely rural views, the Neville Stephens remote operated feature fire creating a homely atmosphere. The floor to ceiling glass wall at the rear provides a glorious green vista over the garden and beyond, the stylish Brise Soleil softening the strong southerly sunshine. From dining through to the kitchen, the tasteful and chic fittings are luxurious and yet practical, the utility room even boasts a professional dog bath. There is a central island and a separate dining area, illuminated soft close drawers and integrated Miele and Siemens appliances.
Rising to the first floor, the polished plaster finish glistens with light from the sun by day and sparkles from the overhead Venini Chandelier by night. The guest suite is handsome and perfectly formed with tall fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower as well as far reaching country views to the rear. Across the landing the master suite is breathtaking; a King size bed facing the wonderful views is framed by a false wall separating the walk-through dressing area and the two ensuites, each with underfloor heating and exquisite fittings. An inset balcony is the perfect place to savour morning coffee and enjoy the unspoilt surrounding landscape.
Outside, the unique and beautiful setting really comes into its own; the pillar-less corner patio doors open onto a raised deck with pond beside. There is neat landscaping, structured planting and clever use of Iroko wood, together creating a minimalist feel with appealing square lines, beyond is the wild garden left open to nature with uninterrupted views across fields and paddocks, a magnificently peaceful environment.
As the southerly sun sets, carefully designed lighting brings the night-time garden to life, perfect for al-fresco summer dining with friends and family. There is gated side access, beside the Boules court, which leads to the expansive gravel driveway. There is a versatile indoor/outdoor space on the ground floor, kept tidy by two walls of full height storage cupboards, housing the boilers. There are a multitude of uses including a games room, home office, gym or third bedroom with en suite.
