5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Wharf Lane, Bourne End, Buckinghamshire SL8

A modernised and attractively presented five-bedroom Victorian townhouse with parking, a garage and mature gardens, moments from Bourne End station

Description
Situated close to the centre of Bourne End with fantastic access to the village’s excellent array of amenities and the station, Ferry View is an attractive Victorian house that has been sympathetically updated while retaining much of its period character.

Original features include dado rails, high ceilings with ceiling roses, an original fireplace in the music room and a stained-glass front door which provides an inviting first impression. The interiors have been fully modernised to include new double glazed sash windows, a sleek gloss kitchen, carpeted floors and well appointed bath and shower rooms.

The layout is well suited to family life, with the main reception area opened up to create an open plan sitting and family room, the latter currently used for a piano. Within the kitchen there is a contemporary dining room extension which enjoys excellent natural light from the bi-folding doors to the garden and two Velux windows in the roof. The dining room is also connected to the garage through an internal door and there is a further benefit of a utility room and a cloakroom with WC.

Upstairs the bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors, including three generous double bedrooms on the first floor, and two shower room/bathrooms and one en-suite. The top floor provides two additional bedrooms, either of which can serve as a home office. This floor also provides access to a generous loft space, currently used for storage, measuring approximately 8.7 × 5.3 metres.

Ferry View is situated on a popular, leafy road with Bourne End’s shops and restaurants at the eastern end and the river and marina at the opposite end; the station is just 0.2 miles away. At the front of the house, there is a driveway with parking for three cars, which leads through a gated entrance to additional parking and a garage with a workshop at the rear. An EV charging point is also located at the end of the driveway.

The rear garden is a good size and enclosed by mature beech hedges and wooden panel fencing. A generous paved patio at the rear of the house is perfect for entertaining outside in the warmer months, enjoying a secluded position tucked between the established hedging and the brick workshop. The rest of the garden is laid to lawn and is bordered to one side by a planted border. There is a useful shed at the end of the garden behind an impressive silver birch.
