Around 4,000 sq ft main house with high ceilings and period character
An impressive, very large Edwardian wing set on a huge gated plot in elevated Winter Hill, Cookham. The main house offers around 4,000 sq ft of accommodation with high ceilings, generous principal rooms and an outstanding main bedroom; a separate detached one-bedroom annex (c.750 sq ft), triple garage and swimming pool complete the grounds. This combination suits families seeking space, live-in staff or multigenerational living, and buyers wanting a high‑spec period house close to Marlow.
The layout includes a reception hall, cloakroom, superb drawing room, gracious dining room, study, fitted kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and four bedrooms served by three bathrooms. Period features and large room proportions give excellent renovation or extension potential; some rooms will benefit from modernisation to suit contemporary lifestyles. Maintenance for a property of this scale and age should be expected and factored into budgeting.
Practical factors: the house is freehold with no flooding risk and low local crime. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal; council tax banding is unknown. The location is highly desirable — close to Herries Prep and other well-regarded schools, extensive nearby leisure and countryside, and just a short drive to Marlow’s shops and restaurants.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire substantial period accommodation with ancillary income/accommodation potential (separate annex), major entertaining space and superb grounds. It will particularly appeal to families and buyers prepared to invest in modernisation and ongoing maintenance to fully realise the property’s strong character and size advantages.
