2 bedroom apartment

Believed to have been built originally in 1770, Datchet Lodge, is a well-known and admired building in the village of Datchet, situated on a raised bank overlooking The Thames where historically there was a bridge linking both the Windsor and Datchet sides.   Both the main house and the adjoining stable block and courtyard were converted into various smaller dwellings, possibly in the inter-war years and then more recently upgraded and further developed in the early 21st century. As a result of the building’s history and architectural significance, it is Grade II listed.

The reception room is very well proportioned and bright, owing particularly to the tall ceiling height, large bay with sash windows and French doors that lead outside to a private patio. The impressive principal bedroom measures over 230 square feet with an outlook onto the communal gardens. Both double bedrooms are served by a modern bathroom containing a bathtub with overhead shower. As well as a wide entrance hallway, there is a separate kitchen with two arched, feature windows, a number of units and worktop space which includes a breakfast bar, integrated white goods and a gas cooker.

The property has an independent front entrance, a private patio area, accessed via the reception room, with space for a small table and chairs, smart communal gardens and two, off-street, parking spaces which are secured by electric gates.

The building occupies a dominating corner plot, with a number of equally historical and attractive period buildings neighbouring. Set overlooking the River Thames, the land immediately on the opposite side of the bank is the Royal Estate of Windsor Castle which affords some fairly un-rivalled views.

A selection of village amenities exist which includes a pharmacy, Costa Coffee and a couple of convenience stores, a Tesco Express and slightly further afield, The Windsor Farm Shop. A wider collection of shops and restaurants are located in neighbouring Windsor. Nearby attractions would include Kris Cruisers boat hire on the river, Datchet Golf Club and the Thames Valley Athletics Centre. In addition to the co-educational, state, secondary school, Churchmead, and the independent, prep school, Eton End, there are a large number of options in the nearby surrounding areas, including, Upton House, St. George’s, St, John’s Beaumont and Eton College. Datchet station is a minute walk away with a London bound service to Waterloo which typically takes 53 minutes. There is quick access to the M4 and almost immediately the M25. Heathrow Airport can be reached in under 15 minutes.
