About this property

This charming Victorian semi-detached cottage, dating back to 1878 and proudly displaying its original Rose Cottage plaque on the front elevation, offers a wonderful blend of period character and thoughtful modern upgrades. Tucked away on Spring Lane in Farnham Royal, the home enjoys a peaceful setting with convenient on-street parking.

Inside, the ground floor features a bright open-plan lounge and kitchen, enhanced by a working fireplace that forms a cosy focal point. The space has been upgraded with a brand-new floor, while the kitchen is equipped with a recent oven and fridge. There is excellent storage throughout, including an under-stairs cupboard for shoes, a small built-in cupboard discreetly positioned behind the sofa, and a built-in cupboard beneath the TV housing the electric switchboard. A new boiler has also been installed, and the recent stable back door adds both character and practicality. Underfloor heating in the utility room and bathroom is an added benefit.

Upstairs, the cottage offers two genuine double bedrooms, with the rear bedroom benefitting from two built-in wardrobes. Additional storage is available in the semi-boarded attic, ideal for seasonal items. The double-glazed windows, installed by previous owners and less than ten years old, help ensure comfort throughout the year.

Practical updates include the replacement of the felt roof above the bathroom in August 2022, and peace of mind is provided by a sub-floor survey completed in November, which received an all-clear.

Outside
Externally, the property truly comes into its own. The private, south-facing cottage garden stretches approximately 120ft, offering exceptional outdoor space rarely found with homes of this type. The garden is perfect for keen gardeners, with room for growing vegetables, flowers, keeping chickens, and enjoying a slower pace of life. Features include a greenhouse, an outside butler sink, and a covered veranda at the rear of the house, an ideal spot for morning coffee, sitting out in all weathers, or discreetly drying laundry.

To the rear of the garden is a summer house, currently used as an artist’s studio, complete with power and heating, making it suitable for year-round use. There are also two large sheds, both with power; one was previously used as a micro-brewery, offering exciting potential for hobbies, workshops or home businesses.

Situation
The property is situated in the popular village of Farnham Royal, which offers good day to day shopping facilities, schools, sporting amenities, historic Burnham Beeches, and is approximately 3 - 4 miles from both Gerrards Cross and Beaconsfield. Windsor is also 3 - 4 miles away. There are rail connections to London Paddington from Slough and from Burnham on the Elizabeth Line which is located 3.1 miles from the property with the trains taking approximately 35 minutes. There is also access from Gerrards Cross to London Marylebone (fast trains take approximately 25 minutes.)
