4 bedroom country house

Nestled in the leafy river area of Maidenhead, this unique period home boasts characterful and spacious accommodation with an abundance of beautifully restored original features.

Originally part of the Duke of Manchesters' estate, the sumptuous property retains an individualistic style to complement its extensive rich history, including hosting British soldiers returning from Dunkirk! Inside, the cool and natural decor accentuates the warmth of the character features. Impressively large windows and high ceilings ensure maximum natural light, with interesting aspects from each side of the house. The rear of the property is particularly inspiring, a backdrop of mature trees, home to a variety of species of birds and other wildlife, a rarity in such a convenient location.

The ground floor provides ample living space with four separate living areas; the formal sitting room with feature fireplace, panelled walls, cornicing and a stunning herringbone wood floor is indicative of the decadent design of the original house. A separate dining room is similarly finished in an elegant style, whilst the high specification kitchen breakfast room is sleek and minimalist, with an extensive range of fitted cabinets and appliances. The modern sun room provides a more casual light filled sitting space, with a range of built-in units creating a secondary kitchen or utility area.

At the front is the beautiful entrance hall and reading room, an elegant yet informal space that receives afternoon sunshine, a perfect reading or music room, with a majestic staircase leading up.

The first floor is quite remarkable; a wondrous master suite boasting panoramic windows overlooking the gorgeous gardens, two Juliet balconies add a romantic charm. With a magnificent oversized ensuite shower room finished with Italian fixtures and fittings, the luxurious lifestyle is complete. There are three further large double bedrooms, each beautifully appointed and with lovely large windows. The family bathroom has a separate w.c. for added convenience, and there is another charming shower room too.

Outside, the enclosed patio area has been meticulously designed with reclaimed materials framed by pretty beds and borders. Beyond is the parking area, and then the principle garden - a tranquil and private escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The property boasts access through a gated lane leading directly to the Thames footpath, meaning country and riverside walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep.

Overall, a rare and special home, offered with no onward chain, which must be viewed internally. Call Barker Stone today.
