This spacious 3 bedroom Victorian cottage (with optional guest annexe), in a quiet location overlooking woods is just 25 minutes from Central London by train and 15 minutes' drive from London Heathrow.
It has bags of character and is located on the outskirts of the charming old village of Denham - a village remarkably lost in time with its village green, pubs and church.
The cottage was originally built for the railway workers at the turn of the century, and has lots of original features like cast iron fireplaces, antique pine doors and lovely high ceilings. It's since been extended to provide spacious family accommodation with a farmhouse-style kitchen / family room, downstairs WC, sitting room, three bedrooms, family bathroom, separate (optional) guest annexe, private gardens, hot tub and parking for two cars.
Within easy access of both Central London and the South of England, the house makes an ideal base for a family holiday, or a short-let for international visitors & expatriates coming home to visit. The house is also well located for those working at Brunel University Uxbridge, Pinewood Film Studios, and the headquarters of both Bosch UK & InterContinental Hotels Group at Denham Broadwater Park.
