SUPERB SPACE
Dating back to the 1950s and originally a bungalow, Oak Dene has been significantly extended over the years. The current owners have themselves upgraded and improved it, laying new flooring throughout and extensively landscaping the gardens. Today the property, which is decorated in stylish neutral shades, offers up to four bedrooms across two storeys, as well as fabulous, open-plan living and a detached garden studio that could have a range of uses. “In addition to the location, it was attractive to us because of all the space it offered,” she continues. “We knew there would be lots of room for us to welcome our nephews and nieces at weekends and to have people to stay. We have had some wonderful garden parties and barbecues in the time we have been here.”

EXQUISITE KITCHEN
The property is entered at ground-floor level via a central reception hall. To the right, is the downstairs bedroom and bathroom accommodation, while to the left is the splendid, open-plan living space. This begins with the chic kitchen area, which is beautifully fitted with charcoal, high-gloss units and a central island with breakfast bar. “I love cooking in here, with my nephews and nieces up at the breakfast bar chatting to me as I prepare the food,” she says. “We also have the table close by, next to one of the sets of French windows, which makes socialising very easy.”

INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING
The new wood-style flooring enhances the sense of flow between the spaces while also bringing a clean, modern finish. “The open-plan area now really has four separate spaces,” she explains. “We have the main sitting area, where we can watch television, plus a separate relaxation space for sitting and reading quietly.” Two additional sets of doors also open onto the garden, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living during the warmer months. “We can sit inside and enjoy the views or wander out into the garden, which is now gorgeous,” she admits. “My husband is a gardener and he has spent a lot of time planting it with beautiful rose bushes and climbers.”

MAGNIFICENT MASTER SUITE
Leading from the impressive, open-plan living space is a room that could be a study, playroom or fourth bedroom, depending on requirements. The family bathroom and two more bedrooms, both with fitted storage, come off the central reception hall. “My husband and I each have a ground-floor bedroom as an office and the final one is a guest room,” she explains. “Visitors then have sole use of the downstairs bathroom, which ensures their privacy.” The incredible master suite encompasses the entire first floor of Oak Dene. There is a shower room up here and a large landing with a skylight. “Even the landing is lovely – we have a chaise longue up here so we can relax and enjoy the views but someone else may wish to use it as an office space.”

BEST OF ALL WORLDS
Indeed, Oak Dene offers exceptional flexibility. The garden studio is currently set up as a home gym but could be an office, hobby space or teenagers’ den. It could even be a beauty salon or yoga studio as there is a side entrance. The long garage, which is attached to the house, also holds potential for other uses (subject to the relevant planning permissions). “Either of these two spaces could potentially be converted into guest accommodation or an annexe,” she suggests. “We have considered creating somewhere for paying guests to stay during the races.” Indeed, the property’s proximity to Windsor, Maidenhead, Ascot and Slough, as well as London and Heathrow Airport, brings so many benefits. “We really do enjoy the best of all worlds here,” she agrees. “All these places are close by and yet we are also just five minutes from village pubs and have beautiful walks right on our doorstep.”

SETTING THE SCENE
There is a double garage at Oak Dene, as well as a driveway with space for several cars to park. To the rear, the house opens onto a lovely family garden, which has been beautifully landscaped by the current owners. This features a lawn, terrace and ample space for children to play. There is also a garden studio that could have a range of uses.
