Winkfield Lane, Maidens Green, Windsor, Berkshire

Set within a desirable semi-rural village, an appealing character cottage featuring a south-facing rear aspect overlooking a peaceful orchard. The bright and airy accommodation perfectly captures the blend of traditional character and modern convenience.

The house is entered via a reception hall that flows naturally into the principal downstairs rooms. The inviting sitting room services as a peaceful retreat, centred around a fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The open-plan kitchen/dining room spans over 24ft in length and features a period fireplace. The kitchen, equipped with a range of classic shaker-style units, a traditional butler sink, and a range-style cooker, enjoys direct access to the rear patio and garden, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. Thoughtfully designed for modern life, the property includes a dedicated utility room with its own external entrance, ideal for muddy boots and laundry. A guest cloakroom is also conveniently located off the reception hall.

The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, led by a stunning principal suite defined by its impressive high ceiling and view over the neighbouring orchard and landscape beyond. This room further benefits from built-in storage and a private en suite shower room. The second bedroom retains its character with a charming fireplace and additional built-in storage and there is also a family bathroom.

A paved patio adjoins the cottage, creating a dedicated zone for al fresco dining and relaxation. Mature shrubs provide year-round interest, while open-slat timber fencing defines the boundary without obscuring the view of the orchard beyond.
