Stonehouse Lane, Cookham, Berkshire

Situated in one of Cookham’s most sought-after locations, Silver Birch is a beautifully modernised home set within landscaped gardens and occupying a supremely private elevated position with stunning views. The property has been thoughtfully configured for contemporary family living and has undergone extensive refurbishment over the years by the current owners. The result is a home with excellent flow, featuring engineered wood flooring throughout the ground floor, extensive glazing and a sleek high-quality finish. It also benefits from an integrated security system featuring an alarm and CCTV.

A spacious entrance hall leads to the main living areas. The sitting room is generously proportioned, with a lofty ceiling and bi-fold doors opening onto a decked terrace and the swimming pool. A modern log burner serves as a central focal point and sliding doors lead through to a cosy snug. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is dual-aspect and flooded with light through full length glazing which extends onto a balcony. It boasts sleek contemporary gloss cabinetry, ceramic worktops, and a full range of integrated appliances, including Neff ovens, a coffee machine, induction hob and dishwasher. A central island with a breakfast bar offers an ideal space for casual dining. Additional practical areas include a utility room and a shower room.

Split over two levels to the rear of the house are five bedrooms and four bathrooms, each in lovely modern condition. The bedrooms are to the rear of the home giving them outstanding views over the garden and surrounding countryside. Particularly the main bedroom and main guest room, at first floor level, where balconies provide a wonderful outlook.

Outside
Silver Birch occupies a special position, with its outdoor space thoughtfully designed to maximise its setting. Accessed via electric gates with intercom, the gravel driveway provides parking and leads to a spacious double garage with an electric door.

To the rear the gardens are laid to lawn, gently sloping away and bordered by hedging, mature shrubs and trees, which creates an immediate sense of privacy. The home’s contemporary style continues outdoors, with balconies and paved seating areas positioned to fully enjoy the wonderful outlook and provide ideal spaces for al fresco dining. There is also an attractive swimming pool with poolside terracing, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the vista, along with an expansive deck. A shed provides useful garden storage.

Situated beside the River Thames, a coded gate provides access to a further riverside garden, which features a riverside lawn, access to the water and a charming summer house, complete with light, power and water.
