A rare opportunity to rent one of the finest houses in Windsor situated on the sought after Park Street and overlooking the Long Walk.

Description

A beautiful Grade II listed town house situated in one of Windsor’s premier roads, only yards from the Long Walk, Windsor Castle and the Royal Mews.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors with a large useable cellar. Both the ground floor living space and the two floors of bedrooms are substantial in size and offer a variety of options for the modern family.

On the ground floor the front door opens into a welcoming reception area with space for seating and a fireplace. To the left hand side is the family room which is ideal for more formal use with dual aspect views onto Park Street and a feature fireplace. The drawing room which opens up into the courtyard garden is ideal for day to day use particularly during the warmer months and features a gas fireplace and period details to create an inviting space to entertain.

The highlight of the ground floor then opens up as you move towards the rear through the well-proportioned dining room into what is simply a breathtaking rear kitchen with bi-folding doors into the garden and a mezzanine level space which is well suited for a study / home office.

The kitchen features an extensive range of units and boasts a host of modern integrated appliances to meet the needs of modern family life, a substantial kitchen island with sink and wine cooler in the centre and two sets bi-folding doors along the other side which open up to bring the outside in as well as a huge amount of natural light.

A guest W. C completes the ground floor.

To the first floor are the two principal bedrooms. The first bedroom is very spacious with a period fireplace and dual aspect windows and fitted plantation shutters offering views over Park Street. The ensuite bathroom is also of a substantial size with large walk in shower and roll top bath. Across the landing is the spacious bedroom two with views over the rear garden and Long Walk. The first floor also boasts a very large bathroom, with bath and walk through shower which completes the accommodation on this floor.

To the second floor are three almost equally sized large double bedrooms and a large and very well appointed modern family bathroom.

To the lower ground floor is the cellar which features various rooms to store items as well as a wine cellar.

The rear of the house features the large courtyard garden which can be easily accessed through the drawing room and the two sets of bi-folding doors in the kitchen with space for entertaining and a large outdoor furniture set.

Accessed via a well maintained private road just yards away is a large useable garage which can accommodate one car comfortably with space for two cars in private land in front of the garage. The property also qualifies for two on street parking permits.
