3 bedroom detached house for sale

Greenwood by the Lake - A Slice of History in Nature's Embrace.

This three-bedroom detached home is a rare gem, nestled among lush woodlands and rich wildlife, offering a perfect blend of historic charm and modern potential.

The House
Steeped in history, this beautiful property is one of the last remaining landmarks of the once grand Wraysbury House, now lost beneath the shimmering surface of the nearby SSSI lake. The imposing wisteria-clad entrance leads to a beautiful blend of period features and charming updates. Inside, the spacious double-fronted layout boasts a ground floor bedroom/study, dining room with original fireplace and wood burner, kitchen with original wood units, a solid fuel Rayburn Kitchen Range (which, as a well as a delight to cook on, keeps the kitchen warm and provides the central heating and hot water) , and a characterful bathroom featuring a cast iron roll-top bath. The heart of the home is the large reception room with vaulted beamed ceilings, perfect for entertaining, and French doors leading out to the rear gardens. Upstairs, two serene bedrooms with high ceilings bathe in natural light. Preserved period details, such as latched doors with ornate brass knockers, exposed beams, and fireplaces, highlight the property's significant architectural interest. This is truly a home to be cherished and preserved.

The Gardens
Accessed via a grand entrance a gravel drive, approximately an acre of wild beauty awaits. Encompassing woodland, meadows, and a large pond, the gardens are alive with seasonal blooms-from snowdrops and cyclamen in spring to primroses, bluebells, and lady's smock in summer. Wildflowers attract an array of insects, including butterflies, dragonflies, and bumblebees. In addition to many songbirds, woodpeckers, jays and long-tailed tits are common visitors while birds of prey like kestrels, buzzards and red kites soar overhead. The huge oak tree at the heart of the garden stands tall amidst a haven for wildlife, providing a tranquil space to escape and enjoy the surrounding nature.
