Winkfield Street, Winkfield, Windsor, Berkshire

Set within an impressive 8.7 acres of gardens and grounds, this substantial family home offers a rare blend of privacy, rural tranquillity and modern convenience. Backing directly onto your own private meadow/paddock, the property enjoys a countryside setting whilst remaining within easy reach of local amenities.

A spacious galleried reception hall, finished with herringbone wood flooring, sets an impressive tone and provides access to the principal ground floor rooms, creating a seamless and inviting flow throughout the house.

Leading from the hall are the principal ground floor rooms, beginning with a stylish sitting room featuring a contemporary fireplace and a bay window that fills the space with natural light. Double doors open into the formal dining room, which in turn benefits from French doors that open onto the terrace. When open, these doors create a wonderful indoor-outdoor connection, offering a direct line of vision from the reception hall all the way through to the gardens and meadow beyond. The snug provides a more intimate setting, complete with bay window and fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, and there is a study, similarly enhanced by a bay window.

The hub of the home is the spacious and comprehensively fitted kitchen/breakfast/garden room. This open-plan space is thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with a peninsular unit incorporating an integral breakfast bar, perfect for informal dining. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a striking triple-aspect garden room, complete with a wood-burning stove, and a vaulted ceiling and glazing that frames views of the gardens and meadow beyond, bringing the outdoors in.

Additional ground floor accommodation includes a utility room, a boot room, and a cloakroom, ensuring functionality and convenience throughout.

Upstairs, the well-appointed accommodation has been arranged to provide comfort and functionality. The principal suite is a standout feature, comprising a generously sized bedroom, a fully fitted dressing room, and a stylish, contemporary bathroom; there is also useful under-eaves storage. There is a second bedroom, also with the convenience of under-eaves storage and its own en suite bathroom, two further bedrooms, and a family bathroom.

Planning permission has been granted for the installation of two dormer windows and two rooflights to the rear, and four rooflights to the front, which will create two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Application ref: 23/00805/FUL – Decision date: 23rd January 2024.
Prospective purchasers are advised that they should make their own enquiries of the local planning authority.

It is worth noting that a detached building within the grounds provides generous office space, ideal for running a home-based business. Equipped with lighting and power, it offers a practical and versatile working environment separate from the main house.

To the front of the property, a traditional five-bar gate opens onto a gravelled driveway, which culminates in a generously sized parking area and provides access to the garaging. The house itself is set well back from the road, offering a sense of privacy and seclusion, and is attractively screened by a variety of mature shrubs and trees.

To the rear, the gardens and grounds are a key feature of the property and provide an idyllic retreat. Beyond a broad expanse of lawn lies a large meadow with a double field shelter, accessible by vehicle via Winkfield Lane, while stretching out to the side is a paddock with independent vehicular access from Winkfield Street. Together, they form an attractive, low-maintenance outdoor setting that requires minimal intervention.

Spanning the rear of the house is a sun terrace, offering the perfect spot for al fresco dining and entertaining, whilst to the side is a charming kitchen garden, complete with raised beds. Additional areas of interest include a small orchard.


N.B. The owners have submitted a Permitted Development application for a two-bay stable with a tack room and are awaiting a decision.
