7 bed detached house for sale

Terrys Lane, Cookham, Maidenhead, Berkshire SL6.

The entrance hall provides a suitably impressive introduction, revealing the quality of the materials, workmanship and decorative detailing found throughout the property. Beyond, the principal living spaces are arranged around an open-plan kitchen, dining and family room measuring more than 30 ft in length.

The bespoke Plain English kitchen is centred around a remarkable La Cornue range cooker and incorporates three integrated refrigerators, a wine fridge and three dishwashers. Each appliance is carefully concealed within beautifully made cabinetry, preserving the room's elegant and cohesive appearance. The floor provides a particularly distinctive feature, having been created using reclaimed materials sourced from twelve historic churches across England and laid by a specialist in English Heritage mosaic tiles, providing the room with a remarkable sense of history and provides a unique focal point at the heart of the house. From here, the accommodation connects seamlessly with a collection of refined reception rooms, including an elegantly proportioned drawing room, a substantial sitting room, a library and a separate study.

Arranged over three floors, Rowborough provides extensive accommodation thoughtfully configured for family life and entertaining. The first floor is centred on an impressive principal suite, complete with a dressing room, bathroom and private balcony enjoying views across the landscaped gardens. The additional bedrooms are equally well considered, offering excellent proportions and a refined standard of finish. Further bedroom accommodation occupies the second floor, alongside a charming children's snug and a range of useful ancillary rooms.

Hidden throughout the house are several imaginative, bespoke features that add both practicality and charm. These include a secret playroom, a communications room concealed behind the sitting room, and a drop-down cinema screen, all expertly integrated into the fabric of the home. At cellar level, a comprehensive renovation has created an impressive wine store. The interiors have been designed with exceptional care, bringing together work from some of the most respected names in British design. Lighting by Porta Romana, Pinch, Howe London, Rose Uniacke and Hector Finch features throughout, complemented by Edward Bulmer natural paints and luxurious fabrics from leading designers. Bespoke bathrooms, handcrafted cabinetry and natural-fibre carpets continue the emphasis on craftsmanship, texture and enduring quality.

The detached garage complex adds considerable flexibility to the property, providing extensive garaging with an excellent office suite on the first floor. Entirely separate from the main residence, the space is ideally arranged for working from home and would also lend itself to consulting, studio use or a variety of creative pursuits.

Complementing the principal accommodation is a detached octagonal office situated to the southern side of the house, enjoying views across the garden while providing a secluded and versatile workspace.

The landscaped gardens and grounds provide a beautiful private outdoor space. Designed by award-winning landscape designer Patrick Clark, winner of the Gold Medal at Chelsea Flower Show 2026, and expertly delivered by Yoreland, recipients of the Chelsea Flower Show Best Construction Team Award 2024, the landscape combines mature planting, broad lawns and sheltered areas created for both outdoor entertaining and peaceful relaxation.

At the heart of the gardens is a striking natural swimming pond, whose freshwater and naturalistic design allow it to blend effortlessly into the wider landscape. A dedicated wellness retreat further enhances the outdoor amenities. Complete with a sauna, cold-plunge bath and shower facilities, it creates a private, spa-like environment for relaxation and wellbeing within the seclusion of the gardens.
