Kier Park, Ascot, Berkshire

Somerville House is a well-presented, spacious detached five-bedroom home on a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Ascot’s most desirable locations. The property enjoys an elevated position with scenic views of mature trees and shrubs.

The principal reception area is the open, L-shaped sitting room and dining room with a triple aspect, Adam style fireplace, full-height windows, and sliding glass doors opening onto the rear gardens. From the dining room, there is access to the well-equipped kitchen; fitted with a range of units to base and wall level, as well as integrated appliances and a breakfast bar. This room enjoys a wonderful outlook over the rear garden. An adjoining utility room, with its own outside access, provides additional space for storage and home appliances. Off the hall is a fifth bedroom which is currently being used as a study, with outstanding views of the garden.

A short flight of stairs leads to a further three bedrooms, all of which are doubles, including the generous principal bedroom with its extensive built-in storage and en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes and are serviced by a family bathroom. From the entrance hall, stairs lead down to a family room, double bedroom and shower room, which features secondary outside access and could be used as a self-contained annexe.

At the front of the property, a sweeping driveway leads up to the house and provides ample parking space for several vehicles, as well as access to the integrated garage for further parking and storage/workshop space. The driveway is flanked by areas of lawn, dotted with mature trees.

To the rear, the delightful garden is undoubtedly a key feature of the property. It includes a large attractive semi-circular patio enclosed by a low brick retaining wall, ideal for al fresco dining, with a rolling lawn beyond. The mature gardens to the rear are bordered by established shrubs, mature trees and hedgerows, creating a sense of peace and privacy. Well-stocked flowerbeds add a further splash of colour and visual interest.
