Property description
An Exceptional & Spacious Four-Bedroom Detached Family Home on Premier Green Lane, Burnham
Nestled within the highly sought-after and tranquil setting of Green Lane in Burnham, 'Balmoral' presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully presented four-bedroom detached family home. Built in 1954 by the esteemed Bunce Brothers, this Arts and Crafts inspired property sits on a generous plot, boasting exceptional curb appeal, a breathtaking south-facing rear garden, and ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
The property's impressive approach is via double wooden gates that open onto a large, extended driveway, providing parking for at least six cars—a coveted feature for families. The façade is adorned with flourishing wisteria, hinting at the character within.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious hallway that sets the tone with its original and meticulously maintained oak herringbone parquet flooring. This elegant flooring flows seamlessly into the principal reception rooms. To the right, the separate formal dining room offers superb proportions for entertaining, while the spacious sitting room is a particular highlight, featuring double doors that open directly onto a covered terrace—the perfect spot to enjoy uninterrupted views of the spectacular garden. The eat-in fitted kitchen is practical and well-appointed, with stylish tiling underfoot. A beautifully refitted guest cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
The magical, south-facing rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's most exceptional assets. Extending approximately 90 feet, it has been lovingly curated with sculpted, irrigated borders elegantly framed by mature, towering Beech and Laurel hedging, ensuring total seclusion. The space also features a lush lawn, a greenhouse, and a practical wooden shed.
Ascending to the first floor, the landing is illuminated by a tall window overlooking the garden. There are four genuinely generous double bedrooms, offering fantastic flexibility for family and guests. The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in closet, while a second bedroom also features built-in storage and a third boasts a delightful sunlit terrace. The family bathroom and separate night cloakroom were stylishly refurbished in 2023 with high-quality Porcelanosa ceramic tiles and feature a wall-mounted Crosswater American Walnut vanity unit with white glass basin.
Further potential lies in the fully insulated loft, accessible via a pull-down ladder, which offers exciting scope for conversion to create additional living space, subject to the necessary planning consents, as well as a plot that would welcome additional size easily, subject to planning.
