Dating from circa 1780, Englefield Green House is a beautifully preserved example of late Georgian architecture. Rich in period detail and architectural elegance, this landmark home is listed Grade II* and has been meticulously maintained by the current owners to offer both grand entertaining spaces and comfortable family living.

Set behind double gates, the house is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, with a secondary access to both Stable Cottage and Garden Cottage, providing versatile ancillary accommodation.

The formal gardens are beautifully landscaped and designed for privacy, featuring mature specimen trees including a magnificent Indian Bean tree, two double garages, walled garden areas, and rose-covered pergolas. The gardens provide a peaceful and enchanting backdrop, with secluded walkways, a summer house, and a large sun terrace ideal for al fresco entertaining.

Internally, the house offers a wealth of original features, including high ceilings, original wooden staircase, sash windows, elegant fireplaces, and Georgian joinery.
