East Cottage is one of a pair of Grade II listed late Georgian red brick cottages built in the 1830’s and has now undergone an extensive renovation to preserve its rich architecture and history, whilst being finished to an exceptionally high standard being aimed for those who appreciate decadent yet tasteful modern living within rich historical surroundings.
Located in the heart of vibrant Old Beaconsfield every amenity is literally on the doorstep, with exceptional and highly regarded schools and nurseries nearby, as is the fast train into London’s Marylebone (22mins), giving the feel of London living in the country.
East Cottage offers exceptional living which the current owners have sympathetically created by blending the original character with modern 21st Century technology and space. The cottage retains its 'cozy, character' feel, but provides all the technology and space needed for today's living. The cottage has undergone extensive renovations including new wiring, plumbing, Swish Fibre, smart home lighting with USB points, activated by touch, smart phone, and voice-control, underfloor heating to the ground floor and bathrooms, and the home office/studio has been completely rebuilt using the original bricks and slate tiles. The cottage features a fully bespoke Veneer joinery package in every room taking advantage of every conceivable space available.
The ground floor offers great space both for formal living and entertaining. There is a separate formal lounge, with feature brick fireplace to the front, and an open plan kitchen/dining/living space to the rear, with feature skylight and access into the rear garden. The kitchen area features exposed brick bringing the original character and charm into the space, mixed with the modern kitchen units and integrated WiFi enabled Siemens appliances. The space is very flexible, with the use of a moveable butchers Island, which can be utilised as extra work surface, storage, or a breakfast bar with ease. Finished off with an under counter mounted brushed brass sink and matching boiler/filter tap. A Wifi enabled Smart washer/dryer is provided in the utility area. There is clever storage throughout the whole ground floor, with fitted units under the stairs and in-built units in the alcove’s in the formal lounge.
The first floor provides two double bedrooms, both with large fitted wardrobes and separate en-suites, both of which have been completely refitted (one is a new addition to the cottage), with luxury earthenware by designer Sanitaryware company, Lusso stone, all complimented with matching brushed metal finishes.
Further, there is fully approved planning permission and grade II listed building consent to allow the cottage to be increased by a further 300 square feet, increasing the size of the kitchen/dining/living space too over double the current footprint which will then then link in the form of a state-of-the-art glass walkway to the home office/studio joining the 2 areas, incorporating more exposed/existing original brickwork. There is also provision to create an additional shower room in the home office/studio, all of which provide to allow considerable flexibility and additional space to future proof East Cottage.
