With its cottage-like appeal and leafy setting, Five Trees Cottage offers the best of all worlds. Set back on Burleigh Road, and with a private and mature garden, the five-bedroom house enjoys a sense of seclusion, while also being within easy reach of Ascot High Street, with its shops and restaurants, as well as the railway station with trains into London, and excellent schools. “This is an inviting home, which has it all,” suggests the agent marketing the property. “In addition to being in a great location, it offers bright, generous accommodation, yet also manages to exude a warm and inviting ambience, through its character features and its carefully considered décor. Five Trees Cottage is a home that is light and airy in the summer and cosy and welcoming during the colder months. It is a home for all seasons.”

DRAMATIC ENTRANCE

Designed in a traditional country style, the five-bedroom property sits well within its surroundings, providing significant kerb appeal. To the front, there is ample space for off-road parking and then the house is entered via a grand porch and spacious reception hall, with feature fireplace. “The ground floor of the property is well laid out, with ample space for family members to spend time together, as well as to pursue individual pastimes. There is a good flow between rooms and out into the garden, making it also ideal for entertaining all year round.”

A WARM RECEPTION

To the left of the impressive hall, is the sizeable drawing room, which runs from front to back of the house, with windows at one end and French windows at the other. Here there is another fireplace, which has been fitted with a wood-burning stove. “This room is very generous in size yet is also comfortable and atmospheric in the wintertime and at Christmas, when a fire is roaring in the wood-burner. In the summer, when the French windows are thrown open, it becomes cool and airy. All year round, it is very pleasant to sit in here and gaze out on to the leafy garden at the back.”

STYLISH KITCHEN

Much of the day-to-day living at Five Trees Cottage, however, takes place on the other side of the house, which has something of an open-plan feel. Here the attractive kitchen breakfast room, with its pantry cupboards; central island, with breakfast bar, and granite work surfaces, has a modern feel while also complementing the more traditional features. These include a natural wood floor and stable kitchen door. “The kitchen leads into a useful utility room at one end and a dining room at the other. There is also an easy flow through into the conservatory and out into the garden. This part of the house is excellent for entertaining, as people can spread out easily. It could be arranged to suit the needs of the new owners, with dining furniture and comfortable seating as they would like it.”

BEAUTIFUL MASTER BEDROOM

Beyond the kitchen, there is something of a bonus room, which comes with its own en suite shower room. With bi-folding doors on to the garden, this make a great summer space, family or television room. “This room could also be ideal as a sixth bedroom if required. It could suit a grown-up child or older relative seeking a ground-floor space and perhaps some level of privacy from the rest of the house.” The remaining bedrooms are all located on the first floor, together with the family bathroom and family shower room. “The master bedroom is especially impressive,” the agent admits. “Not only does it have a splendid en suite bathroom, with free-standing bath and huge walk-in shower, plus a dressing room, but the room itself is huge, with a vaulted ceiling and beautiful beams.”

EXCELLENT LOCATION

Close to Blackmoor Pond and with good access to Ascot Racecourse, with its green space for walking, running and cycling, there are plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy in the vicinity. “Residents also like being able to spend time in Windsor Great Park and The Savill Garden, as well as Virginia Water and Swinley Forest. There are golf courses close by, and leisure centres, health clubs and spas.” Children attend the state schools of Ascot Heath Primary School and Charters, or one of the independent schools in the area, and the property is also well located for reaching Bracknell, Reading and Windsor, as well as Ascot High Street. “It is, of course, easy to commute into London by road or rail from here too,” the agent adds. “Five Trees Cottages is a home, with much to offer new owners seeking flexible living in an excellent location.”

SETTING THE SCENE

To the front of the house is a gated driveway with access to the garage. To the side and rear, the property opens on to its attractive and colorful gardens, with mature trees and shrubs, well-maintained lawns and a terrace for outside dining.
