Court Road, Maidenhead, Berkshire

A private, gated gravelled driveway sets a grand tone upon arrival, culminating in an expansive parking area. The front door opens into a welcoming reception hall, complete with bespoke built-in storage and dedicated wine cupboards. From here, glazed double doors immediately frame a view out to the beautifully maintained gardens. The heart of the formal entertaining space is the light-filled, dual-aspect drawing room, which anchors its character around a cosy wood-burning stove and boasts two sets of double doors opening seamlessly onto the sun terrace.

A highlight of the ground floor layout is the exceptional flow: both the dining room and sitting room connect directly to the beautifully appointed kitchen, with Aga, via open archways, creating superb, fluid entertaining space. A further versatile reception room, a practical utility room, and a guest cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first-floor landing leads to an expansive principal suite, complete with a private dressing room and a dedicated bathroom. This floor also features three additional well-proportioned double bedrooms, served by both a family bathroom and a separate, independent shower room.

Boasting a desirable west-facing aspect, the beautifully landscaped gardens offer a private outdoor oasis, with seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Accessible via elegant glazed doors from both the reception hall and drawing room, the grounds also feature convenient gated access from the side driveway.

Immediately adjacent to the house is a large terrace perfectly suited for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining. From here, a path leads to a highly versatile garden studio equipped with both power and light. The meticulously manicured grounds are laid predominantly to lawn, framed by beautifully stocked borders, and complete with additional secluded seating areas to the side and rear.
