About this property
Walpoles is an attractive, detached family home, enjoying a quiet and highly private setting with a deceptively large plot approaching half an acre in size. This fine residence, which is offered for sale with no onward chain, features a superb outdoor swimming pool, ample parking and a gated driveway.
The main front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, immediately showcasing a striking feature exposed brick wall and warm wooden flooring that extends throughout, blending character with contemporary style. From here, doors lead to the principal reception rooms, a cloakroom, and stairs rising to the first floor. The generous, triple-aspect sitting room serves as a bright and airy hub, centered around a magnificent feature brick fireplace equipped with a cozy wood-burning stove. Elegant French doors open directly onto the front terrace, creating a seamless transition down to the pool deck. Across the hall, the formal dining room retains its traditional charm with both painted and exposed ceiling beams, a front-aspect window, and a practical serving hatch linking to the kitchen.
The beautifully fitted kitchen features premium granite worktops, underfloor heating, and a high-end range of integrated appliances, including a five-ring gas hob, a dishwasher, and traditional and convection Miele ovens. This culinary space flows naturally into a bright breakfast room at the rear, which features a charming stable door opening to the garden, as well as access to the utility room.
On the first floor, a bright central landing connects four well-proportioned bedrooms one which is a dedicated home office. The principal bedroom suite is a luxurious retreat featuring built-in wardrobes and an elegant ensuite bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi-style bath and marble-topped vanity. The second bedroom is an exceptionally generous double with fitted wardrobes and eaves storage, while the remaining two double bedrooms enjoy leaded-light windows framing leafy views. A recently re-fitted family shower room, stylishly designed with modern tiling and a walk-in glass enclosure, serves the bedrooms perfectly.
Annexe Accommodation
Accessed conveniently through the utility room-yet benefitting from its own private front entrance-the self-contained annexe offers versatile living space. It comprises a comfortable sitting room with a dedicated kitchenette area, a well-appointed double bedroom, and a modern ensuite shower room.
Gardens and Grounds
The property is set behind a secure, sliding electric gate that opens onto an ample, block-paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles. The front garden enjoys a highly desirable southerly aspect, creating a sun-drenched setting for the heated swimming pool and a paved terrace that surrounds a charming pool house. A separate entertaining terrace sits adjacent to the main sitting room, perfect for alfresco dining. To the rear, the garden is primarily laid to lawn and features a pedestrian gate providing a right-of-way access to an additional lawned orchard garden. The main grounds are fully enclosed by fencing, offering an exceptionally private and secure environment for families.
Location
Walpoles on Blind Lane in Bourne End, Buckinghamshire (SL8 5LF), is set within a sought-after residential area offering a peaceful suburban environment close to the River Thames and surrounding Chiltern countryside. Bourne End village centre is within easy reach and provides a good selection of everyday amenities including a Co-op, Tesco Express, independent shops, cafés, traditional pubs, and essential services such as gp surgeries, dentists, and pharmacies, while nearby Marlow, Beaconsfield, and High Wycombe offer a wider range of shopping, dining, and leisure facilities.
The area is particularly popular with families due to its strong schooling options, including Bourne End Academy, several well-regarded primary schools such as Claytons Primary School and St Paul’s Church of England Combined School in nearby Wooburn Green, as well as access to grammar schools like Beaconsfield High School and a number of respected independent schools within a short drive.
Transport connections are a key advantage, with Bourne End railway station around a mile away providing services to Maidenhead and Marlow, and onward connections via the Elizabeth Line at Maidenhead offering direct access into central London, Canary Wharf, and Heathrow Airport. By road, the location is well placed for the M40 and A404/M, giving convenient access to London, Oxford, the M4 corridor, and surrounding Thames Valley towns, while Heathrow Airport can typically be reached in around 25–30 minutes by car. Overall, the area combines a quiet, village-style setting with strong connectivity, making it attractive for commuters and families alike.
