A spacious and versatile village home with outdoor pool and extensive gardens, situated in a desirable area of Cookham Dean. Planning permission to extend. Situated in a coveted area of the desirable village of Cookham Dean, Alleyn House is a delightful home built in the 1950s which is set back from the road in a good-size plot. The house is in a fantastic position for those wanting to live in the countryside yet have easy access to the City or other commuter links; the house is one mile from Cookham Station and a short drive from both the M40 and M4 motorways. The detached home is substantially proportioned at more than 4600 sq ft and offers hugely versatile accommodation with a well-planned layout that is at once ideal for family life and perfectly well equipped for the demands of entertaining. The house has been extended over the years but retains consent for further alteration and extension, should a buyer decide to enlarge it further. The house is entered onto a large reception hall leading to a lovely L-shaped open plan kitchen and breakfast room, which has an adjoining utility room and pantry and serves as the heart of the family home. In the summer months, the French windows open onto the outdoor terrace to create a lovely indoor-outdoor space for informal entertaining. The reception rooms are numerous and varied, currently arranged as a circular playroom; a large sitting room with adjoining pool room, which overlooks the garden and swimming pool from both bifold and French windows; a large study; and a gym, which has its own shower room. Upstairs there are five spacious bedrooms, including a choice of two principal suites – both with en suite facilities and balconies. There is a further en suite bedroom ideal for guest accommodation and two remaining bedrooms sharing a family bath/shower room. Outside Alleyn House is set back from the road at the end of a long privately owned driveway. The house sits within a good-size plot of about 1.3 acres which is mostly south-west facing. The gardens, which are mostly lawned, extend from the rear of the house and include a generous lawn, a secure swimming pool inset within a paved terrace, a patio ideal for alfresco dining and a summerhouse. High fencing and mature greenery around the boundary make the plot feel very private. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
