Priory Road, Ascot

The Story

Nestled in an exclusive Ascot enclave, the four-bedroom townhouse at Heathlands Place enjoys the best of all worlds. Conveniently positioned for travelling into London by train or road and well placed for good schools, shops and the exceptional amenities of Bracknell, it also offers a sense of semi-rural living, thanks to its leafy setting. “Heathlands Place is in an excellent location for everything you need and yet it is also surrounded by woodland, which gives it this lovely, private and peaceful feel,” the current owner observes. “There is a sense of being close to nature when you are here. There are some wonderful woodland walks and we see lots of birds. One day, a roe deer even came up the drive.”

SPACE AND LIGHT

Set on the end of a small terrace, the red-brick, Victorian-style house presents an abundance of kerb appeal. “We bought it off-plan in 2011 and lived there for eight years,” she explained. “It was an excellent family home to us'. It worked well for us as a home.” She continues: “As well as its great position, I loved its layout and design.” The property benefits from an abundance of natural light throughout. It offers good living space, accommodation across three storeys and appealing characteristics. “It has a lovely, twisting staircase at the centre of the house, which makes quite a feature,” she adds.

STYLISH INTERIOR

The elegant, double-fronted house has parking for three cars and a south-facing, walled courtyard garden for basking in the summer sun. It is entered via a central hall, where the downstairs cloakroom is located and there are doors into both the kitchen breakfast room and the sitting room. “We were looking for a home with a kitchen breakfast room that had space for a table that could seat up to eight people – and this one was perfect,” she recalls. “I was able to choose fixtures and fittings for the kitchen and bathrooms and opted for items of a high quality.” The kitchen has light, high-gloss cabinets complemented by beautiful, black granite work surfaces. “The whole house has been painted in an off-white shade throughout and features high quality plantation shutters,” she adds.

GLORIOUS SUNSHINE

Opposite the kitchen breakfast room is the sitting room. This large, light-filled room is triple aspect. At one end, there is a garden room-style space, with a roof lantern that brings the light flooding down and French windows that can be opened on to the garden on fine days. There is ample room in here for a formal dining table and chairs, as well as comfortable seating. “It is lovely to sit at the garden room end, with the doors open on warm days,” she admits. “The kitchen is the hub of the house but the sitting room is a wonderful place to relax – both rooms are great for entertaining.” The courtyard garden, which has been laid with limestone for low maintenance, makes a great extension to the living space for summer parties and barbecues.

FLEXIBLE LIVING

The gorgeous staircase leads up to the first floor, where the master suite is located. This sizeable area encompasses a generous bedroom, with a bank of fitted wardrobes, and a spacious en-suite shower room. “The bedroom here is dual aspect, with lots of windows, which again makes it very light and means it benefits from sunshine throughout the day,” she says. “The shower room is high quality with a large shower.” A fourth bedroom is also on the first floor of the house. “This could make a great study but we used it as a nursery when we lived at the house.” The chic family bathroom is situated on the top floor of the house, together with two double bedrooms. “This part of the house also has a wow factor and could be ideal for a family with older children or teenagers as they would be able to enjoy their privacy up here.”

A PEACEFUL HOME

The property, which has solar panels, is energy-saving and low maintenance. It has been redecorated over the years and is beautifully finished throughout. “It is a lovely home and we really enjoyed our time there,” she says. “We found the property’s location very, very convenient and loved having access to so many parks and areas of woodland.” She adds: “It was such a peaceful place to be. In the evenings we would sit out in the garden and listen out for the sound of the tawny owl and on Sundays we could hear the church bells ringing. It is a really beautiful home.”
