3 bedroom semi-detached house

With an appealing red-brick façade, Glen Cottage offers the perfect blend of period characteristics combined with contemporary architecture and striking design. Red and black chequered tiling in the reception hall is complemented by a double-height exposed brick wall and rustic wooden stairway. There is access into a front-aspect sitting room with stripped floorboards and a fireplace with decorative slips, and cupboard storage to either side of the chimney breast.

An impressive kitchen/breakfast room at the rear of the cottage is filled with natural light courtesy of a roof lantern, skylight window and a picture window with an outlook along the length of the garden. With its distinctive design, this space offers a sociable hub to the home, with a marble-fireplace and inset wood-burning stove offering a spot in which to sit and enjoy the warming ambience, whilst a dining setting takes advantage of the views to the garden. The kitchen features bespoke cabinetry with wood and stone work surfaces, and an island unit; the vaulted ceiling showcases exposed timbers and steels.

On the first floor, there are two bedrooms, one with a modern en suite shower room and both with fitted wardrobe storage and decorative fireplaces. A uniquely-styled family bathroom with bath and shower cubicle is situated at this level, with interesting features including exposed brick walls and rafters, a corner fireplace and a skylight window providing additional light. An open-tread stairway leads to the third bedroom which offers a retreat on the top floor of the cottage and benefits from an en suite shower room and plenty of eaves storage.

Attractive, evergreen planting at the front of the property ensures a year-round display and is neatly bordered by low brick-wall edging. Hardstanding provides off-road parking and a timber side gate affords access to the rear garden. To the rear, outdoor dining and relaxation may be enjoyed on a patio adjoining the cottage, with direct access out from the kitchen/breakfast room for a seamless inside to outside living environment. Planted side borders frame an area laid to lawn and mature trees at the far margin create a secluded outdoor setting. A brick-built summerhouse provides a sheltered spot in which to enjoy the garden throughout the seasons and offers useful storage space.

On the north-east fringes of the village of Sunningdale, the property is within easy reach of a good range of amenities including a Waitrose store, coffee shops and restaurants, whilst nearby Ascot town centre and Sunninghill village offer additional facilities.

Road connections are excellent with easy access to both the M3 (J3) and the M25 (J13) and rail services to London (Waterloo) are available from the station in Sunningdale, as well as from Ascot.

Leisure and sporting facilities in the area are varied and include golf at Sunningdale, Wentworth, Windlesham and Swinley Forest; horse racing at Ascot and Windsor; and horse riding on Chobham Common and in Windsor Great Park. Excellent spa facilities are available at Pennyhill Park, Coworth Park, Wentworth and Foxhills.

The area is fortunate to have some excellent schools, both in the independent and state sectors, including Holy Trinity Primary School and the outstanding-rated Charters School.
