The Avenue, Ascot, Berkshire

Situated in a highly-desirable residential road, Rushpoint is an appealing family home that has been beautifully extended and modernised to offer versatile living space, including a detached garden studio. Meticulously updated by the current owners, the house strikes a perfect balance between classic character and contemporary flair.

The heart of the home is the splendid open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room, bathed in natural light courtesy of a roof light and bi-folding doors that dissolve the boundary between inside and out. The kitchen area is comprehensively fitted with a sleek range of units, stone worktops and a breakfast bar, and Miele appliances.

The ground floor further comprises a sophisticated sitting room with a feature bay window and log burner, a formal dining room, a practical utility room with dedicated outside access, and a guest cloakroom.

Arranged over the first floor are four bedrooms, each benefitting from integrated storage. The principal bedroom is a particular highlight, with an en suite shower room and French doors that open out to a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. A modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

The outdoor spaces have been designed for both relaxation and productivity. A patio area serves as an ideal spot for al fresco entertaining, leading to an expanse of lawn framed by flower beds, mature shrubs and trees. Situated close to the house is the converted former garage, now a fully powered and heated studio, perfectly suited for use as a home office, gym, or creative retreat. To the front of the property, a driveway provides off-road parking.
