Station Cottage spacious Victorian house nr London

Description from the owner

This spacious 3-bedroom Victorian cottage, in a quiet location overlooking fields 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, private gardens 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.

The cottage has a ‘farmhouse style’ kitchen, with an exposed-brick chimney and wood burner. It’s the focal point of the house and everyone usually congregates around the long table! It is very well-equipped for cooking and dining and has double oven, gas hob, large fridge & freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. There is also an iron & ironing board.

A recently built family-room is combined with the kitchen and has views over the garden. It’s furnished with a comfortable sofa bed, a writing desk and stereo. Just off this room is a downstairs WC.

At the front of the house there’s a sitting room with lounge seating for three, log burning stove, HD TV with cinema sound system, Blue Ray DVD player and views over open fields to the front.

Upstairs there’s a large master bedroom, furnished with a solid oak king-size bed and fitted wardrobes. This bedroom has beautiful original features like a cast-iron fireplace, polished wood floors, cottage-style sloping ceilings and windows and open views over fields to the front.

The second bedroom is also furnished with a king-size bed (which can be separated into two 75cm wide singles) and antique pine wardrobe.

The third bedroom is furnished with a single bed (with additional pull-out bed underneath) and antique pine wardrobe.

To make your nights completely snug, all our bedding is ‘feather and down’ and the bed linen is cotton.

The bathroom is located between the three bedrooms and has a bath, good over-bath shower, washbasin and WC. A large window gives views over the gardens and surrounding fields.

A foldaway travel cot, baby gate, high chair and car seat are available upon request. We also have a good selection of toys & games for young children and a small range of DVDs. Children’s TV channels are available on the TV.

The garden is to the side of the house, fully-enclosed and safe for children. It’s laid to lawns with flowerbeds containing roses, jasmine, agapanthus, laurels and an old apple tree to bake pies in September.Read more

Additional Location Information

Denham Village is a beautiful old village located to the west of London, approximately 18 km north of London Heathrow airport. Famous for its old Film Studios, the village was until recently best known as the home of the late actor Sir John Mills. With a choice of 3 oldie-worldie pubs (our favourite the gastropub ‘The Swan’), you can enjoy excellent food and drinks in the gardens during the summer or by the log fire in the winter.

The house is just a 2 minute walk from Denham train station, from where you can take an air-conditioned train to London Marylebone (stopping at Wembley Stadium) taking 25 minutes. Within 40 minutes of leaving home you can be sightseeing, shopping or enjoying a West-End show! At the end of a long day, a quick train ride home and you can soon be enjoying the peace and quiet of the surrounding countryside.

Denham has its own small aerodrome and there's also a choice of 2 golf courses within walking distance of the house. A superb new sports and leisure centre (with indoor and outdoor pools) has recently opened just 5 minutes’ drive away.

Local shopping facilities and restaurants can be found just 100 metres walk away and include two minimarkets, Post Office, butchers, fish & chip shop, Boots chemist, petrol station and cash dispenser.
