North Street, Winkfield, Windsor

PERIOD STYLE

The impressive house has a traditional appearance, with a smart façade and sash style UPVC windows.

“It was designed to look like a Victorian house, using old stock bricks and with a Welsh slate roof,” the owner explains. “Inside, I wanted it to be much more modern, with a very light and airy feel. The floors, staircase and doors are in a beautiful warm oak and as a whole it has a very calm, restful atmosphere.”

He continues: “It was also important to me that the house offered very generous inside space for both daily living and entertaining. In England, where the weather is not always reliable, this was especially important.”

OPEN INTERIOR

Visitors to Woodcote enter via the reception hall, where there is a cloakroom, walk in cupboard and access to the kitchen breakfast room and open plan drawing and dining room.

“The entrance hall is superb, everyone is extremely impressed with its size when they step into the house,” he observes. “The drawing and dining room area is also very generous, offering flexible living space that is perfect for entertaining and can be arranged to suit the new owners of the house.”

This outstanding area provides room for formal dining furniture, as well as comfortable seating. There is a fireplace and there are two sets of doors on to the outside area at the back.

“This is a very light space because of all the doors and windows, and it will be wonderful in the warmer weather if the new owners choose to keep the doors open to be able to spend time outside too,” he adds.

LIGHT ROOMS

Three double bedrooms are situated on the first floor, together with the family bathroom. The master bedroom, which is dual aspect, has its own sizeable bathroom.

“Again I wanted these rooms to be as light as possible,” he suggests. “Then on the top floor of the house we have created an enormous fourth bedroom, which has skylight windows and beautiful views in all directions.”

This capacious area could become a games or cinema room or could even be used as a work space.

“It would also be ideal for a family with teenagers perhaps, they could have their own space away from the rest of the house,” he points out.

HIGH QUALITY

From the solid oak flooring through to the unusual Baltic brown granite work surfaces, every detail of Woodcote has been carefully considered.

“It was important to me to complete the house to a very high quality,” he says. “The kitchen is German made and has integral Neff appliances, as well as a standalone American style Samsung fridge/freezer, while the bathrooms all have Grohe fittings. Rooms have all been painted in off white to keep them fresh and bright, and to allow new owners to bring their own style to the spaces.”

SUPERB LOCATION

Woodcote could be an ideal family home. Its Winkfield location means it is in the catchment area for the highly sought after Charters School.

“There are plenty of places to walk in the area, including Windsor Great Park, and it is well positioned for Windsor itself, with its interesting shops and restaurants. For those needing to travel there is easy access to the motorways and to stations with trains into London,” he adds. “This house is in a great location and someone will be able to move straight into it and enjoy everything it has to offer.”

SETTING THE SCENE

Woodcote is set back from the road, with a driveway that provides off road parking for two or three vehicles. To the back of the house, the garden is designed to be low maintenance. There is a terrace area, with space for outside dining and entertaining. Doors from the dining and drawing room open on to this space, which is a real suntrap. The property is newly fenced with a gate to the area which leads to an additional garden area, with storage and old shed
