5 bedroom detached house

Somerville House is a well-presented, spacious detached five-bedroom home on a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Ascot’s most desirable locations. The property enjoys an elevated position with scenic views of mature trees and shrubs.

The principal reception area is the open, L-shaped sitting room and dining room with a triple aspect, Adam style fireplace, full-height windows, and sliding glass doors opening onto the rear gardens. From the dining room, there is access to the well-equipped kitchen; fitted with a range of units to base and wall level, as well as integrated appliances and a breakfast bar. This room enjoys a wonderful outlook over the rear garden. An adjoining utility room, with its own outside access, provides additional space for storage and home appliances. Off the hall is a fifth bedroom which is currently being used as a study, with outstanding views of the garden.

A short flight of stairs leads to a further three bedrooms, all of which are doubles, including the generous principal bedroom with its extensive built-in storage and en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes and are serviced by a family bathroom. From the entrance hall, stairs lead down to a family room, double bedroom and shower room, which features secondary outside access and could be used as a self-contained annexe.

At the front of the property, a sweeping driveway leads up to the house and provides ample parking space for several vehicles, as well as access to the integrated garage for further parking and storage/workshop space. The driveway is flanked by areas of lawn, dotted with mature trees.

To the rear, the delightful garden is undoubtedly a key feature of the property. It includes a large attractive semi-circular patio enclosed by a low brick retaining wall, ideal for al fresco dining, with a rolling lawn beyond. The mature gardens to the rear are bordered by established shrubs, mature trees and hedgerows, creating a sense of peace and privacy. Well-stocked flowerbeds add a further splash of colour and visual interest.

Known for its world-famous racecourse, Ascot is a prestigious town in a highly desirable and well-connected area.

The towns of Windsor, Camberley and Reading provide a further more extensive range of amenities, in addition to theatre, cinema and recreational facilities.

Leisure facilities are plentiful and of excellent quality in the surrounding locale, with the magnificent Windsor Great Park nearby, and prestigious golf clubs close at hand, including the renowned Wentworth, Sunningdale, The Berkshire and Swinley Forest golf clubs.

Ascot is also within easy reach of central London (54 minutes to London Waterloo), and is served by an excellent range of schools, in both the state and private sectors.
