This house was originally constructed by Berkeley Homes with four bedrooms however our vendors opened up two rooms to make one large master bedroom. This could easily be put back to four bedrooms should this be of preference.

The accommodation comprises of entrance hall, reception room, Orangery which is located at the rear overlooking the garden and woodland, kitchen/dining room, utility room, cloakroom, stunning master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and two further bedrooms with bathrooms/ensuites. Outside the property has well maintained
garden, a double garage and driveway parking. Visitor parking also available within this exclusive development.

The Story

Whenever Walter and Margaret Webb feel like going for a walk all they have to do is to stroll into the adjacent woodland. The couple fell in love with the house for its leafy situation, as well as the space it offered, when they first visited it some eight years ago, Walter explains. “We wanted to downsize and were driving past when we saw the sign – we liked the look of the development, with its electric gates and properties that were all unique,” he remembers. “We then visited as soon as we could and loved the house itself too.” The Webbs also found the property’s location, beside Wexham Park Golf Centre, highly appealing. “The golf course is all around us here and we also have a large field that everyone who lives here can use for walking dogs and where children play and have picnics. Everything about the place was exactly what we were looking for.”

AMAZING SPACE

With a brick and weatherboard façade, the impressive property has something of a barn-style appearance. Inside, it offers bright, airy accommodation that the Webbs have enhanced during their time at the property. “We transformed the house from a four-bedroom property into a three-bedroom home by opening up two of the bedrooms to create one enormous room,” Walter explains. “This suited us very well but it would be easy enough for new owners to replace the wall should they be seeking a four-bedroom home.” Other work saw them open the study up into the kitchen to create a superb kitchen dining room. This space was then fitted with a beautiful new kitchen, slate floor and plantation shutters. “We also opened up the back of the house and added a lovely orangery – this is now a wonderful place to sit and look out over the garden.”

BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN

The attractive house is entered via a spacious, central reception hall. This provides access to the kitchen dining room and drawing room, as well as the cloakroom and double garage. The kitchen, which adjoins a utility room, is now a generous, light room, with a central island, with breakfast bar, built-in window seat and dining area. “This is a large area which has been well designed for cooking and for dining,” says Walter. “We also have a wall-mounted television so I might sit in here with a cup of tea to watch something for a while.”

A GLASS ACT

The drawing room, which has a wood-burning stove set into a fireplace with a marble hearth is another relaxing space. “We spend our evenings in here, with the television on or with my wife Margaret serenading me on the grand piano!” he says. “This room is now open to the orangery, where we also have sofas and chairs. The orangery is a lovely place to sit in the mornings with a cup of tea or coffee and the papers.” The spectacular orangery has a glass roof and French windows on to the garden. “It is nice to have these open in the summer months if we have visitors, then everyone can wander out into the garden,” he adds.

EXCEPTIONAL COMFORT

Since remodelling the first floor of the house, the couple now have three bedrooms each with a dedicated bathroom. The exceptionally large room that was originally two bedrooms is now the master bedroom, with an en suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes at either end. A guest bedroom has an en suite shower room and the third bedroom, which features skylight windows, has sole use of the family bathroom. “We have an enormous loft here and (subject to the relevant planning permissions) new owners may wish to consider converting it to create even more bedroom and bathroom space,” Walter suggests.

The Webbs, who have had the garden levelled out and landscaped, enjoy the opportunities for outside living afforded to them by the property. They have also found the Wexham location of the house has more than lived up to their expectations. “In addition to being close to the golf course and walks, we are also very well positioned for reaching the M40, M25 and M4,” he observes. “We can get to Heathrow Airport in just 15 minutes and there are pubs, shops and supermarkets close by.” He adds: “This has been a very convenient place to be and this house has been a very easy home to live in. It is warm, comfortable and spacious – it is perfect.

SETTING THE SCENE

The large garden at the Buckland Gate house features a generous, part-walled terrace for outside dining, relaxation and entertaining. There is a summer house and a sizeable lawn, which is well screened by mature trees and shrubs. To the front of the property there is ample off-road parking and access to the double garage.
