4 bedroom detached house

An Exceptional Historic Residence in Englefield Green.

We are pleased to introduce a remarkable heritage property — a former gate lodge of architectural significance, Grade II Listed, originally designed by Robert Lutyens for Captain Joel Woolf Barnato, celebrated racing driver and former CEO of Bentley Motors. This elegant home showcases timeless design with white-painted façades, classic louvred shutters, and a grand stone entrance. Inside, it has been thoughtfully reimagined to deliver contemporary comfort while retaining its historic charm.

The interior has been meticulously enhanced to create a light-filled and sophisticated living environment. On the ground floor, the impressive drawing room enjoys a bay window recess and French doors opening onto the garden, while an adjoining sitting room is bathed in natural light via an overhead skylight. A discreet study offers a peaceful workspace. The heart of the home is the kitchen and breakfast room, designed for both functionality and style. It features sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a substantial island that separates the space from a relaxed dining area. Full-height glazed sliding doors open directly onto the terrace, fostering a seamless connection with the garden. Additional ground floor amenities include a cloakroom and a stylish shower room adjacent to the sitting room, allowing flexible use of the space as an additional bedroom.

Upstairs, four bedrooms provide the accommodation, equipped with built-in storage. The principal suite offers a tranquil retreat with its own contemporary en suite shower room and access to a private, decked balcony. A luxurious family bathroom completes the first-floor layout.

The rear garden is beautifully landscaped, featuring a formal design of sculpted hedges, topiary, and generous planting beds. A paved terrace adjoins the house and offers optional shade, while a further patio beneath mature trees provides a peaceful alfresco setting. A covered garden room with hot tub completes this inviting outdoor space. Meandering pathways lead through the garden, while expanses of lawn provide a lush, green contrast.

To the front, vehicular gates lead to a gravelled courtyard offering generous off-street parking. A separate wrought-iron pedestrian gate connects to a paved path leading to a secondary entrance and the rear garden.

Situated in the heart of Englefield Green, this charming village location is just moments from Windsor Great Park, ideal for walking, cycling, and equestrian pursuits. Everyday amenities can be found in the village itself, with more comprehensive services available in Egham, Old Windsor, Windsor, and Staines.

For commuters, mainline rail services to London Waterloo run from nearby Egham and Virginia Water. The M25 (Junction 13) provides excellent road links to the M3, M4, central London, and both Heathrow and Gatwick Airports.

The area is renowned for its educational offerings, including Bishopsgate School, St. John’s Beaumont, Royal Holloway University, Eton College, and St. George’s School in Windsor, as well as top independent schools in Ascot such as Heathfield, St Mary’s, St George’s, Papplewick, TASIS, and ACS International School.

Leisure opportunities are abundant, with horse racing at Windsor and Ascot, polo at Smith’s Lawn and The Royal Berkshire, and world-class golf at Wentworth, Sunningdale, Swinley Forest, and The Royal Berkshire Golf Club.
