Norley Road, Cuddington, CW8

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

If you want the short version, this is a wonderful unique home, in a fantastic location with a dream garden, a 2.32 acre plot and a first class location. A house you should buy! If you want the long version, read on……….

Seven Oaks represents a rare and distinguished opportunity to acquire a truly special family residence on Norley Road in Cuddington. Offered for sale for the first time in over three decades, this property has been a cherished home for thirty one years and provides a winning combination of rural serenity and village convenience. The property is perfectly situated within walking distance of the local railway station, village shops, and essential amenities, yet it maintains a profound sense of privacy and maturity that is increasingly difficult to find.

Spanning over four thousand square feet, the residence is approached via a sweeping private driveway that opens into an expansive parking and turning area. The house is defined by an abundance of natural light, a result of the thoughtfully positioned large windows and a rear aspect that faces due south. Throughout the home, one finds a seamless blend of traditional architectural character and contemporary refinement, while still offering ample scope for a new owner to introduce their own personal style and creative vision.

The journey through the home begins in a large porch that transitions into a magnificent dining hall, which has an open fire. This central space serves as a breathtaking introduction to the property, featuring double doors that open directly onto the grounds and offer views of the countryside beyond. The living room provides a sophisticated entertaining space with a feature open fireplace and a classic bay window. In this wing of the house, a bespoke conservatory extends over twenty-four feet in length, providing a versatile space for relaxation and the small gym room lies adjacent to the integral double garage.

Further exploration of the ground floor to the right of the dining hall reveals an additional reception room with gas fire, ensuring plenty of space for family members to find quietude or gather together. The heart of the daily home is the large open-plan breakfast kitchen, which serves as a functional and social hub. From here, steps lead down to a dedicated laundry and utility room, offering exceptional storage and practical utility for a busy household.

The sleeping quarters are equally impressive and well distributed. A large double bedroom (or additional reception room) has a gas fire and the principal family bathroom is also located on the half-landing, providing a sense of separation and privacy. The main first floor landing leads to four additional double bedrooms. The master suite is a particular highlight, featuring an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe, and further fitted storage. This room enjoys magnificent south-facing views over the extensive gardens and grounds, ensuring a peaceful start to every day. The remaining three bedrooms are all generously proportioned doubles, three of which benefit from integrated wardrobes.

The gardens at Seven Oaks are an absolute triumph of landscape design and dedicated cultivation. Having been invested in and cared for over many years, the outdoor space is a mature paradise. For those who prioritise alfresco dining and entertaining, a large terrace area is accessible from both the dining hall and the conservatory, creating a perfect flow between the interior and exterior. The grounds consist mainly of manicured lawns intersected by well-planned pathways and beautifully stocked beds and borders. An array of mature trees provides shade and structure, while a summer house at the far end and a dedicated orchard area add to the charm. In the peak of spring, the garden erupts in an abundance of colour, making it a magnificent setting for family parties, social gatherings or even a family wedding.

This property is a genuine one off opportunity to secure a long-term family home of significant stature. Having been a treasured family asset for over three decades, Seven Oaks now stands ready to welcome a new generation and bring continued delight and joy to those who choose to call it home.
