House For Sale £1,250,000
Allington Cottage is a wonderful family home with real curb appeal, a pretty house that has a welcoming feeling to it that continues throughout. Set in around 0.6 acres of pretty gardens with the house designed to fully enjoy the views over the garden and the private setting.
Located just under 2 miles from Burnham, in a lovely rural setting, you have the best of both worlds with a countryside feel right on your doorstep alongside access to the everyday essentials in Burnham village, and more extensive facilities in the neighbouring towns of Beaconsfield and Maidenhead.
The small and friendly village has the highly sought after Dropmore Infant School, Montessori pre school and two pubs including the famous Blackwood Arms, a frequent set for Midsomer Murders alongside the Littleworth Common Site of Special Scientific Interest with a host of protected fauna and flora. With various walks into Burnham Beeches with its ancient woodland, there are plenty of picturesque walks right in your doorstep. Littleworth Common has a wonderful community, which funded high-speed internet.
The current owners of Allington Cottage have reconfigured the downstairs accommodation to offer great reception space that flows well, and works for both everyday family life, as well as entertaining.
The spacious family room has a pretty bay window overlooking the front of the house, a lovely real fire and solid oak flooring. This is a wonderful space to gather the family. Interconnecting glass panelled doors lead through to the split level sitting room which is flooded with light from a large skylight, high ceilings, neutral decor and patio doors running the width of the room. This room maximises the views out to the garden and has a very contemporary feel to it. Opening up these interconnecting doors creates a great space for parties and family gatherings.
From the sitting room there is direct access into the modern kitchen. This is a very bright and light room, both practical and stylish, with bi-fold doors leading out onto the decked area, allowing you to enjoy the views whilst cooking! In addition, there is a separate dining room at the front of the house for more formal dining.
Upstairs there are five bedrooms (four doubles), including the principal bedroom suite with en suite bath/shower room, in addition to a family bath/shower room. The current owners use one of the bedrooms as a 'mancave' and another as a dressing room, still leaving a study upstairs to cater for working from home. There is plenty of flexibility here to make the rooms work for your individual needs.
The garden is a true highlight, with multiple sections and features it has character and plenty to enjoy. There is a secluded area which is home to a hot tub and hut, covered by a pretty pergola with grape vines, which is a great area for entertaining. There is a pretty stream with a bridge over, plus a hidden area at the rear of the garden, in addition to the main expanse of lawn.
To the front of the property there is plenty of parking for multiple cars, in addition to the garage which is currently divided into both a garage area and dog room for the beloved pets of the house!
The location is perfect for dog lovers - just across the road from the house through a quaint little gate is access to a footpath and extensive walks. Not far away you are spoilt for choice for outdoor enjoyment with Burnham Beeches, Littleworth Common, Snowball Farm and Cliveden Estate.
