Property description
This exceptional four double bedroom detached house has been skilfully re-configured & extended and undergone an extensive refurbishment programme by the current owners just three years ago. It has been finished to a high standard and retains a lovely homely feel. Its well laid out accommodation has a warm ambiance throughout.
Egham is an outstanding location with a choice of superb amenities and this property is conveniently located to enjoy them all; the vibrant High Street with individual shops, boutiques, restaurants, wine bars and gastro pubs is just a few minutes’ away, as is the mainline train station, and supermarkets such as Waitrose are close to hand. Windsor Great Park is very close and the owners utilise nearby Wentworth for a host of sport and leisure facilities. Also Runnymede Hotel, on the banks of the Thames, offers great dining and spa facilities and Runnymede itself, a National Trust site, recently celebrated the 800th year of the signing of the Magna Charter.
The house would ideally suit a family, who will appreciate the generously proportioned rooms and close proximity to both excellent state, private and International schooling. There is much LED lighting, double glazing and a gas central heating system which contribute to a decent EPC rating. The house is also set up with Sky Q wireless and there is also Sky multi room in most rooms.
The property has been in the possession of the family for many years and was originally a conventional bungalow utilised by two sisters as a base whilst they studied or commuted. A few years ago it came into the sole ownership of the present owners and became their family home. Children came along and by the time number two was born, they were bursting at the seams. They adored the area and location of the property and, identifying that the bungalow was on quite a large footprint, an inspirational design and building project was undertaken to transform the house into this brilliant, spacious home. In their design, the owners specified the large kitchen//breakfast/family room to be at the rear of the house – which is perfect not only for day to day family life, with its under-floor heating, but also for entertaining their friends and family. Its oak bi-folding doors provide access onto the large patio and into the garden, which gives an added dimension to the room and also provides an excellent, safe place for the children to play. The four double bedrooms have also been a boon as the children have continued to grow and the other favourite room of the owners is the large master bedroom which is a joy! It is cleverly styled and decorated which enhances the serene ambience of the room. In addition it has a Juliet balcony with views over the garden as well as an en suite bathroom.
There is a useful utility room, downstairs cloakroom, living room and a family/games room that complete the ground floor accommodation, whilst upstairs there are the four double bedrooms, with the large master having an en suite and ‘Juliet balcony’, and a family bathroom. Externally there is a gorgeous 65’ x 45’ secluded rear garden, with a block-paved front garden with parking for three cars.
The area benefits from excellent transport links to London and the south east, with easy access to the M25, M4 and M3. London Heathrow Airport (10 mins) and London Gatwick (35mins) are also within easy reach. Egham train station provides regular service to London Waterloo (approx. 40 mins).
Schools around the area include Manorcrofts, St Cuthberts, St Judes, Eton College, Wellington College, TASIS, The ACS International School, the Marist, St Georges and Bishopsgate School, as well as numerous other quality establishments. The area really is blessed with choice in this department.
The local area benefits from many international sporting venues including Guards Polo Club, Ascot Racecourse, Wentworth Golf Club and Eton Dorney. Wembley & Twickenham Stadiums are also within easy reach.
