A substantial six-bedroom country house set within approximately 3.5 acres of formal gardens, paddock and outbuildings. The house offers generous reception space across multiple floors — five bathrooms, a conservatory, a large kitchen/breakfast room and a range of original and high-quality fitted finishes such as solid wood doors and a handmade oak staircase. Private long drive, automated oak gates and extensive parking provide excellent arrival and day-to-day convenience for a family with several cars.
Outdoor highlights include a screened swimming pool with terraces and a summer house, a paddock with field shelter and multiple storage outbuildings. The setting sits in a peaceful rural hamlet with wide countryside views yet reasonable commuter links: Twyford and Maidenhead stations, the M4 and local market towns are all within easy reach. The grounds and varied external features create strong potential for family leisure, hobby farming or equestrian use.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house is heated by oil-fired boiler and radiators, broadband speeds in the area are slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The property dates from the early 20th century and, while many high-quality upgrades have been completed by the current owners, ongoing maintenance for pool plant, outbuildings and a large mature garden should be expected.
This home will suit a family seeking space, privacy and countryside living with room for guests, home working and hobbies. Buyers should factor in running costs, regular upkeep for a large plot and the limitations of rural broadband when assessing suitability.
