Set within beautifully maintained gardens, Elentone is a sensational family house that exudes a high level of architectural appeal, due to thoughtful extension and great attention to detail. The property has been reinvented and updated to embrace the requirements of modern living, and delivers an artful fusion of elegance and contemporary styling – a testament to the current owners’ design flair. The layout creates a seamless flow between rooms and key features include under-floor heating on the ground floor, an impressive conservatory/glass room that opens onto a raised sun terrace, and large windows that maximise natural light.

Upon entering the house, the striking reception hall and open-plan sitting/dining room hint at the abundance of interesting features the property has to offer and draws the line of vision to the capacious adjoining conservatory and delightful garden beyond. The German designed conservatory/glass room, with its glazed roof, boasts two walls of glazed sliding doors that open onto the sun terrace, thereby ‘bringing the outside in’; this room is equipped with heaters and electrically operated blinds. Double doors effortlessly connect to the adjoining kitchen/breakfast room, creating superb entertaining space. The kitchen area is fitted with a comprehensive range of units, a range cooker and integrated appliances, and revolves around a large central island with an integral breakfast bar. There is also ample space for a breakfast table and chairs, perfect for informal dining. The ground floor further comprises a family room with direct access to the integral garage, a study (perfect for those seeking to work from home), a utility room and a cloakroom.

Situated on the first floor is the principal suite comprising a generously proportioned bedroom with full-height and full-width window overlooking the garden, a fully fitted dressing area and a modern en suite bathroom. Similarly, the dual-aspect guest bedroom also boasts a full-height and width window, and an en suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms, all with en suite shower rooms.

Elentone is close to the River Thames, a short distance from Boulters Lock which may be reached on foot via a Thameside footpath, and is conveniently placed for the market town of Maidenhead with its excellent shopping and leisure facilities. Leisure amenities in the area include the Magnet Leisure Centre and Braywick Leisure Centres in Maidenhead, golf at numerous courses including Maidenhead, Cookham and Marlow, horse racing at Windsor and Ascot, and boating and sailing on the River Thames. The nearby towns of Reading, Windsor, Eton, Henley-on-Thames offer a more extensive range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities.

For the commuter, London Paddington can be reached by train from Taplow and Maidenhead stations, due to benefit from the fast speed service, Crossrail. The A404 is within easy reach and links with both the M40 (J4) and the M4 (J8/9), which provide access to Heathrow, London, The West Country and the M25.

The area is fortunate to have some wellregarded schools, both in the state and independent sectors, including Newlands Girls’ School, Highfield Preparatory School, Herries, St. Piran’s, Claires Court, Caldicott and Borlase.

Elentone is set behind double electric wrought iron gates opening onto a paved area to the front of the house that affords access to the integral garage and provides ample parking for several cars.

To the rear, the garden is enclosed by high-level hedging to provide privacy and is principally laid to lawn with beautifully-stocked flower/shrub borders creating visual interest. Adjoining the conservatory, a raised sun terrace is the perfect spot in which to enjoy outdoor relaxation and entertaining, and to the rear of the garden there is a further seating area, a rose bed and a useful storage shed.
