Description

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL - The property has excellent potential for various kinds of development opportunities subject to planning permission and building regulations. The first option would be to significantly extend the house over the garage and to the rear to create larger bedrooms and living space. The 2nd option is to construct a separate house in the large garden of careless corner (7/02848/FULL) which would provide ancillary accommodation and a large annexe for the main house or totally separate dwelling. The 3rd option involves sub division of the current property into two semi detached dwellings (21/00129/FULL) including garage conversion, part first floor, part two storey side/rear extension, with alterations to fenestration.

A Historic Country Home in the Heart of Bray, this exquisite period home exudes charm and character, offering high ceilings, versatile accommodation with superb potential for extension (subject to planning consent). Thoughtfully presented in a predominantly neutral palette, it provides a timeless backdrop for a new owner to personalise and make their own.

A welcoming entrance hall leads to two principal reception rooms, currently arranged as a sitting room and study, with the flexibility to incorporate a formal dining area if desired. A second sitting room, featuring a delightful dual-aspect design, enjoys an abundance of natural light and opens onto the rear garden through elegant French doors. The country-style kitchen and breakfast room, positioned at the heart of the home, boasts a characterful stable door leading to the garden and a convenient gravelled driveway—perfect for everyday practicality.

Upstairs, five generously proportioned bedrooms offer comfortable family living. The principal suite showcases a striking beamed ceiling and an original feature fireplace, with the potential to reconfigure its adjoining shower room into a private en-suite with a dressing area. A second bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms share a beautifully appointed family bathroom, complete with both a bath and a separate shower.

Set back from the road behind a mature hedge and charming white picket fencing, the property enjoys exceptional kerb appeal. Occupying a generous corner plot, it benefits from dual access, providing ample parking via a private driveway for 4 to 5 cars as well as an attached garage and separate carport. The beautifully landscaped rear garden, adorned with mature shrubs and well-tended hedgerows, frames idyllic views across the surrounding countryside. A paved terrace directly behind the house offers a wonderful setting for al fresco dining and summer entertaining.

Nestled within one of Britain’s most sought-after villages, Careless Corner occupies an enviable position on the private Brayfield Road in Bray with its impressive array of restaurants and public houses, including the renowned Michelin starred Fat Duck and the Waterside Inn. Bray’s idyllic location along the River Thames offers picturesque walking trails, while nearby Maidenhead and Windsor provide excellent transport links, shopping, and leisure amenities. Sporting/leisure facilities in the area include golf at Maidenhead, Taplow, Marlow, Cookham and Henley, the new Braywick Leisure Centre, horse racing at Windsor and Ascot, polo and horse riding in Windsor Great Park, flying at White Waltham Airfield and boating on the River Thames and world-class rowing at Dorney Lake all within easy reach. Other highlights include the Hinds Head restaurant, Monkey Island, the cricket club, rugby club and tennis court within the village.

There is an extensive range of schools in the area including Claires Court in Maidenhead, Herries in Cookham Dean, St. George’s Windsor Castle, Upton House in Windsor, Lambrooke in Winkfield Row and Eton College.

For commuters, the property is conveniently positioned near Junction 8/9 of the M4, offering swift access to the M25, Heathrow Airport, London, and the West Country. Maidenhead station (1.6 miles) provides direct services to London Paddington and benefits from the Elizabeth Line, ensuring seamless connections to the West End and the City.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home in one of Berkshire’s most prestigious locations. The name Careless Corner comes from the fact many drivers mistake the entrance for Brayfield Road for the entrance to Monkey Island.
