Bentley Lodge Egham Hill, Englefield Green

Welcome to our exquisite period detached house, a true gem that takes you on a journey through time! Built around 1870 and cherished by the same family for 35 years, it has been lovingly and sympathetically maintained, extended, and improved, making it a perfect blend of history and modernity, set behind electric gates.

The kitchen/breakfast/family room extension, a true showpiece, boasts a breathtaking design, featuring bespoke units meticulously crafted by the renowned John Lewis of Hungerford.

Every nook tells a story, and the house becomes a canvas of memories, both old and new, that create a truly unique living experience.

The house is just a short walk away from Egham's shops and train station, providing excellent connectivity to various destinations. Moreover, its proximity to J13 of the M25 grants easy access to Heathrow and other major motorway networks, making travel a breeze.
