5 bedroom detached house for sale

A hidden gem

Discover a secluded sanctuary tucked away in the countryside on the outskirts of Warfield. This delightful period residence offers a unique blend of timeless appeal, modern convenience, and above everything else, an undeniable sense of privacy.

Your home, your story

The expansive 2400 square feet of accommodation is spread over 0.8 acres, 2 floors and a detached converted double garage building, plus another 222 square feet of storage in the stables, providing a remarkable canvas for creating your dream home. Imagine hosting lively gatherings with loved ones in the large Sitting Room, both sets of bifold doors open to the wraparound gardens, and the pond burbling away in the background. Or perhaps transforming the converted double garage into a space that reflects your passions – a sun-drenched home office, a vibrant playroom for the little ones, a games room for the slightly less little ones or a tranquil yoga studio for moments of serenity.

First impressions to make an impression

You enter through the electric five-bar gate and make your way along the beautiful tree-lined gravel driveway with gardens either side. As you reach the property and parking area for at least five cars, you immediately get a feel for the building. Classically proportioned and blessed with Georgian symmetry; and with good reason. The original property dates back circa 300 years, although it has been significantly and sympathetically extended in the centuries that followed.

Welcome home

Step through the front door and you start to understand the house even better. Clean, simple, classical – a tiled floor in the hallway and neutral colour palette extends delicately in front of you. Immediately to your right is the downstairs bathroom with shower. Meanwhile, to the left, a single door takes you into the Dining Room. Ahead of you, the hall extends into the large Sitting Room and on the right-hand wall is the characterful open staircase.

Just before the door into the Sitting Room, at the bottom of the stairs on your right is Bedroom 5. Beautifully appointed and with its own dressing area, this is a lovely room; perfect as a guest suite with the downstairs shower room or as a room for relatives who perhaps no longer enjoy stairs as much as they once did. Of course, if you wanted to repurpose this room it could also make a lovely home office, hobby room or even a play room.

Continuing into the Sitting Room, as you walk through the door you see how expansive this space is. The two sets of bifold doors out to the rear garden connect you wonderfully to the outside and the raised pond just outside on the patio provides a delightfully, relaxing soundtrack.

As you move back in the hall, on your right is the second door to the Dining Room. This is a lovely light space and part of the original house. As such it’s the central pivot for the rest of the space with both the Kitchen and Garden Room flowing off it. On the wall adjoining the hall is an electric fireplace with a chimney which could be easily converted to accommodate a cosy log burner if you preferred. Either side of the fireplace are the two doors from the hall, giving this space a lovely circular flow.

Bringing the outside, inside

Right throughout the ground floor the feeling of light and space permeates every room, thanks in no small part to the high ceilings. As you enter the south-facing Garden Room however, this becomes even more pronounced as the ceiling in here is in fact, vaulted. Combined with the bifold doors on the two garden facing sides of the room, this is a delightful space; peaceful, tranquil and optimised to make the most of both the sun and the plot, it looks out to the garden and the second of two rose gardens.

Country kitchen       

In the John Lewis Kitchen, you have a well-appointed and cleverly thought-out space. Integrated appliances include a steam oven, multi-function oven, induction hob, coffee machine, dishwasher and washer dryer – all of which are Miele. Additionally, there is a full height, integrated fridge-freezer, a secondary under-counter fridge and a stylish extractor hood, complimenting the granite worktops. At one end of the Kitchen is a two-person breakfast bar, perfect for casual coffees or quick chats. Adjacent to this space is the door through to the utility area which houses the washer dryer and additional storage, as well as providing access to the garden.

And so to bed

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, one with ensuite, and a Family Bathroom. Again, the architectural character of the property means upstairs has lovely high ceilings and a calm, relaxing feel.

The Master Bedroom is found at the end of the landing on the left and sits at the rear of the property. It’s a good-sized double bedroom with En Suite shower room. Next door to this is the Family Bathroom which provides a four-piece suite with bath. Bedroom 3 is opposite the Master Bedroom and is a lovely double-aspect, double bedroom.

At the opposite end of the landing and at the top of the stairs is Bedroom 2, a larger room than Bedroom 3 with attractive and practical built-in wardrobes. Opposite this is the double-aspect fourth bedroom.

Wrapped in tranquillity

Step outside and be greeted by your very own oasis. Wraparound gardens encourage you to lose yourself in their peaceful and secretive embrace. Mature trees stand sentinel, their leafy canopy dappling sunlight onto the lush greenery below. Picture lazy afternoons spent with a good book amidst the fragrant blooms of the quaint rose garden, or laughter echoing through the trees as children play hide and seek amongst the mature trees and shrubs.

Modern touches for seamless living

High-speed fibre broadband keeps you connected, perfect for working from home or streaming your favourite shows. Security and convenience are ensured with a private, tree-lined driveway secured by an electric gate – ideal for families with multiple vehicles.

A playground for outdoor enthusiasts

This property caters to the outdoor enthusiast in all of us. Tee off at the nearby Bird Hills Golf Club, hone your riding skills at the prestigious Berkshire Riding Centre, or explore the multiple paths and bridleways of the surrounding countryside. Replenish your larder with fresh, local produce from the charming Fernygove Farm Shop just over the road or call in for a coffee and a cake with a view!

Rural escape meets handy convenience

This idyllic escape from the everyday hustle and bustle doesn't mean sacrificing ease of access. The property is just 10 minutes from Maidenhead station, providing easy access for the Elizabeth Line and Paddington trains. Yet, for those who crave the serenity of the countryside, captivating country walks begin right from your doorstep. Immerse yourself in the equestrian elegance of nearby Ascot, also just 10 minutes away, or explore the charming villages that dot the local landscape, like the gastronomically renowned Bray, charming Holyport or ever-pretty Waltham St Lawrence.
