Orchard House is a substantial detached 1950s cottage set in about 1.3 acres in the heart of Cookham Dean. The property combines traditional Tudor‑Revival character with later modernisations — notably solar panels and an air‑source heat pump — and offers spacious living across roughly 3,218 sq ft. Mature, private gardens, a small paddock, and a covered chlorine‑free swimming pool create a rare village estate feel.
Ground floor accommodation includes a large open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with windows on three sides, a sitting room with bay window, garden room, and a north-side guest wing with cloakroom and bathroom that could be used as an annexe subject to planning. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms plus the guest bedroom, and a family bathroom. The house is well presented but offers clear scope for personalisation and extension (subject to consent).
Practical strengths include off-street parking on a gated gravel driveway, a detached garage, multiple useful outbuildings (workshop, summerhouse, stores), and fast broadband. EPC C reflects reasonable energy performance helped by the renewable systems. Note there is private drainage via a cesspit and council tax is described as quite expensive — important ongoing costs to consider.
This home will suit families who want village living with excellent access to countryside footpaths and local schools, and buyers seeking a substantial plot with development or landscaping potential (planning dependent). Its size, seclusion and range of outbuildings make it equally interesting for those wanting a home business, hobbies or small‑scale equestrian use.
