Newlands Drive, Maidenhead, SL6

Set on a private road just off Newlands Drive, a highly coveted area of gated homes, this welcoming family home is well positioned for the commuter, being under half a mile from the A404(M), and just over two miles from Maidenhead train station. The house is in an excellent position for accessing the National Trust land at Maidenhead Thicket, with many dog walking opportunities in the local area.

The house was built in 1904 in the classic Edwardian style as a manor house, and later converted to two separate wings in the 1950s. Internally the décor is traditionally appointed to complement the array of character features throughout, including wood panelling and wood floors, open fireplaces and leadlight windows. An extension to the rear houses the Mark Wilkinson "Cooks Kitchen" with an integrated range oven and dishwasher, as well as ample storage and a breakfast bar. A laundry room is attached to the kitchen, and there is also a pantry, boot room and cellar.

The well-proportioned sitting room is ideal for entertaining on winter days, featuring a stunning bay window and open fireplace. The generously sized dining room lets in plenty of light through bifold doors, which open to the rear garden, creating the ideal open environment for outdoor entertaining. This room also features a gas-fired stove.

On the first floor, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms, with a further two bedrooms, a bathroom and a lounge on the second floor. All of the bedrooms have built-in storage and there is also a useful cellar.
