A beautiful new build

Set in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of Warfield and next to Winkfield, this three-bedroom semi-detached property is a unique proposition, offering the sorts of things not often found with new build houses – character, views and space. The private, gated development is home to just five properties in total, all constructed at the same time just 4 years ago. Benefitting from a tranquil setting with far-reaching views but within incredibly easy access to Bracknell, Maidenhead and Windsor and all the surrounding villages, this position really is the best of both worlds.

Enviably handsome, both outside and in

Externally, there’s no doubt that this is a handsome property in a pretty area. As you pass through the gates you are instantly greeted by the manicured communal spaces and front gardens, not to mention the views of the fields beyond giving you a real sense of space. The houses are stylistically consistent which creates a feel of commonality and community, and the grey slate roof tiles are complimented delightfully by the anthracite grey cladding. To the left of the house is the driveway with parking for 2 cars and there are further visitor spaces available within the development.

Space to relax and entertain

Stepping through the front door, to your right is the staircase, while directly in front of you is the well-appointed downstairs W.C.

To the left of that is the Study which would also make for a terrific play room, snug or even occasional guest room, if required. There’s a near full-height window overlooking the garden and large built-in storage cupboard in the far corner. The current owners have installed lovely shutters on all the windows in the property, augmenting the clean and contemporary aesthetic of the decor and looking really smart against the modern flooring, which works brilliantly with the underfloor heating that runs throughout the ground floor.

The primary living space is next door to the Study and is a tremendous room. The Kitchen / Dining / Living room is 33 feet long and full of light thanks to its unusual quadruple aspect. The primary windows are in the Kitchen overlooking the front of the house, the bifold doors leading to the garden from the Dining area and the separate near full-height windows to the far side of the house from the Living area.

This is a large, sociable space perfect for entertaining inside or out thanks to those bifold doors and the connected nature of the room; meaning you won’t miss a moment of the chat while cooking or getting people drinks. In the Dining area there is plenty of room for a large table and similarly, the Living area comfortably accommodates good sized sofas and chairs.

The Kitchen itself has been tastefully implemented with shaker style doors, Bosch built-in appliances for oven, microwave, dishwasher and gas hob with extractor and attractive quartz worktops. There’s even room for the central free-standing island the current owners cleverly added.

A bedtime story

Heading up the galleried stairs, at the far end of the landing is the double-aspect contemporary Family Bathroom with stylish bath/shower.

Next door is the Principal Suite. Like all the rooms in the house, the roof lines have been incorporated into the design to maximise space and add character. Here, the pitch of the roof houses the near full height windows which have a beautiful view over the back garden and the paddocks beyond. The ensuite has a large walk-in shower with rainfall head and rinser and is finished to the same contemporary, high standard as the Family bathroom. Again, a lovely touch here is the double aspect nature, including a Velux, meaning this room has plenty of natural light.

Across the landing is Bedroom 2. A good-sized double room with characterful ceilings and near full height windows overlooking the front of the house. Bedroom 3 is back along the landing at the top of the stairs and is another good-sized double. This room also gets to make the most of the expansive views to the back of the property through its large, near full-height windows.

A garden oasis

Heading out through the bifold doors from the Dining area, you step down to the patio area. The lawn is laid out in front of you and runs the width of the garden, save for some low-maintenance flower beds with Cyprus trees and trellising, and the handy garden shed which provides a huge amount of extra storage.

On your right is an additional area of patio and on the left is the real showstopper; a stunning metal pergola with rotating roof slats for shelter from rain or sun and adjustable height side screens meaning this can be used as a year-round space. The red-cedar picket fencing and extended mood lighting really help enhance and elevate this space, making it the perfect outdoor entertaining or barbecue location.

This section of the garden is also next to the side gate that leads to the driveway, meaning easy access when returning from the incredible butcher at Fernygrove farm shop with sausages or veggies ready for grilling.
