Summary - APRIL COTTAGE THE AVENUE BOURNE END SL8 5RD
5 bed 5 bath Detached
Large private plot, flexible layout and south-facing garden ideal for family life.
Architect-remodelled detached house, approx. 3,742 sq ft
April Cottage is an architect-remodelled, newly refurbished detached house on the private Abbotsbrook Estate, offering substantial living space across about 3,742 sq ft. The home is bright and contemporary, with a dramatic galleried double-height reception hall, open-plan kitchen/dining/family space with skylights and underfloor heating, and generous landscaped front and rear gardens on a large quarter-acre plot.
The flexible layout suits families who need space for living, work and guests: three large ensuite double bedrooms occupy the first floor, while the ground floor provides three further rooms currently used as gym, office and an annexe-style living space with separate kitchen and shower room. Two reception rooms include a sitting room and a large home office with vaulted ceiling and log burners, giving a mix of formal and relaxed living areas.
Outside offers privacy and scope: mature planting, south-facing vegetable garden and greenhouse, wide patio and pergola seating with firepit, plus ample off-street parking. There is clear potential to add a double carport or garage subject to obtaining planning consents, and both side gates provide easy garden access.
Practical points: the property is newly renovated and energy-efficient windows are in place, but it dates from the late 1960s/1970s so buyers should note the construction era. Broadband speeds are average; council tax is relatively high and there is a modest service charge of £468. Flood risk is low and local amenities, good schools and direct links to the Thames Path, train services and major roads make this an attractive family location.
