Summary - MELFORT COTTAGE CHANDLERS LANE YATELEY GU46 7SR
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious period home on large private plot ideal for growing families.
Approached via long private driveway, high privacy and mature planting
This arts-and-crafts detached house, built in 1913, sits privately at the end of a long driveway on a very large wrap‑around plot. The property offers five double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a garden room and a double garage — a flexible layout that suits family life, home working or multi‑generational use.
Period character is evident throughout: sash windows, high ceilings, fireplaces and a log burner create warmth and atmosphere. Practical spaces include a separate kitchen with a walk‑in larder, a laundry room, and an insulated multi‑purpose outhouse that could serve as a studio or hobby room.
Buyers should note several material points before viewing. The house has secondary glazing and cavity walls originally built without insulation, so thermal performance will be lower than modern standards. There are two main bathrooms for five bedrooms, council tax is described as quite expensive, and the property sits in a medium flood‑risk area — sensible insurance and resilience checks are advised.
This is a characterful family home in a very affluent, quiet suburb close to reputable schools and countryside walks. It will reward buyers who value privacy, generous outdoor space and period detail, and who are prepared to invest in targeted upgrading to improve energy efficiency and modern conveniences.
