Linden Avenue, Maidenhead, SL6

This charming detached property is set on a popular, tree-lined avenue close to both Furze Platt station and the area’s well-regarded schools. The substantial home was built in 1910 and much of its Edwardian character remains, including original fireplaces and leadlight windows in wood frames. The interiors are neutrally presented and in keeping with the character of the property – there’s great scope for further improvement if desired.

The accommodation extends to about 3500 sq ft and is generously proportioned, with an ideal layout for family life. There are three sizeable reception rooms – a sitting room, a formal dining room and a lounge/sun room overlooking the rear garden, plus a breakfast room which is open plan to a lovely farmhouse-style kitchen with a Richmond deluxe range cooker. To the rear of the house there’s a utility room and ample storage. Upstairs there are seven good-size bedrooms split across two floors, a family bathroom, an en suite shower room on the main bedroom and two additional WCs.

The house is set behind brick walls and iron railings with a paved driveway which leads to the attached double garage that accesses the home at the rear via a workshop. A separate pedestrian gate opens to the front garden, which is adorned with a variety of well-established shrubs; the property has excellent kerb appeal. The rear garden is private, enveloped by a number of mature trees, including fruiting apple, and a variety of native shrubs. The paved terrace adjoining the rear of the house is ideal for entertaining and leads on to the attractive lawn. There is also a good-sized garden room perfect for use as a separate gym or home office.
